Why does everyone hate CTP2??

So... you prefer the simplified (and less realistic, eg. no combined arms) combat of civ and AC, but you havent even played CtP1/2. Then how do you know you prefer it. ;)

CtP1/2 uses a "battleview", you cant *do* anything else except view the battle on that screen (except retreat button in CtP2), just like you view only (silly) 1v1 battles on the main map in civ and AC.
 
Well 1st I do consider myself a Civ master since the only one I haven't played was CIV on DOS so I think I can consider myself one and I think CTPII is better. 1: armies bring a combined force. In Civ3 and two its a man-on-man, if I wanted to do that I would use one unit. 2: maintenance cost should be with the indiviual city not the total maintenance cost as in Civ3 or 2. 3: its more realistic for diplomats to go to a country not just place an embassy there.
I think all CIV's have there good and bad points its kind a matter of taste. As far as what Dell19 said, that's in all the CIV's until you get a little mastery of each one(not to say you haven't mastered it by any means) but you know that. As far as G-Man, that's just a plain virus. Probably a C++ or equivlent since the programming language used by CivII, SLIP, and C++ are close in nature. As far as ayruabeb is concerned, just goto Google and type: "Call To Power" + MAC and you will find the MAC version. I found this out just recently when I tried to find a downloadable version of CTPII. No luck. I have the game, (had it for years), made a burnt copy(just in case) and the just in case came up. Well I can use the burnt copy to install but it does not recongnize the CD. Can anyone tell me it the source code will help with this and if it does how do I insert it ?

So you don't like the game because of the grammar and vocabulary of the diplomats...

Makes sense to me...

I think hes saying he wants more direct answers from the AI than "i'll try" but you have to remember your talking to a computer.
 
since it has been a couple of years since anybody touched this thread...I'll go with the orginal poster's question.

It's like Kate Jackson.

well..no it's more like Cheryl Ladd.

Farrah went on to be a drunkutant faithful for the tabloids...Jacklyn smith went onto to be a meglomarketingchic for kmart both survived thier angel days in the public eye...except Cheryl Ladd, who if my teenage angsty memory serves me, wanted fame the most she was lost and forgotten save for some Lifetime movies and possibly a stint at a Branson bordello.

Other than Colonization Ctp2 may have been my favorite TB game, --this might be because I put to much faith in the Sid Label and was always slightly let down like a kid on christmas opening a pink bunny suit present,

It's about people sometimes like A when B was just as good...or preferring Coke over Pepsi. Enough hard feelings were creating in the high-end marketing (these are the hardcore gamers who used to make up the reviewers for the gaming community, rather than the corperate shills we mostly have today) that where Sid treated them like happy tin gods, gave them interviews, the Ctp2 staff apparently said "FU, it's in the game"...which you can't do to old school hardcore gamers cuz like fat girls, they never forget you said it..and never forgive it completely.

now I'm going to go put my teeth back in, watch some matlock and cry quietly in the corner cuz the world is scary now. :)
 
Hi, I liked CtP2 very much to relax with as my life otherwise is a bit busy, so I don't really play much online and I don't use mods. The only problem I have is that the box says you can't play on XP (and I bet also not on Vista) and my old computer is down and it's too much bother fixing it.
So I really hate it that I can't play it anymore and I have to stick to Rise of Nations or Civ4: which are also quite nice games anyway.
