    See what replaces civ2's throne room in CTP. Previously referred as "Forbidden City feature".

    "Your own Forbidden City" replaces civ1's castle and civ2's throne room.

    You upgrade a general capital area ( a Forbidden City of Sorts) that evolves over the 5 Ages ( they go from Stone Age into Space). It starts out very primitive and contains 5 key regions. 1) The leader's home 2) a place of worship 3) early form of entertainment 4) road or area of transportation, 5) place of learning.


    The Monuments Impact Game Play.
    Each of these spots looks beautiful and also represents a specific game play benefit. For example, the entertainment area will benefit the leader's happiness. The benefits will be small (so as not to throw off game balancing) but noticeable.

    Many of the Monuments Represent Events.
    The places will be dedicated to you. So if you click on the entertainment area for the Romans, you will get a message indicating that the Romans dedicate an Olympics Game to your greatness. In this way, it's not just buildings that are your reward but also actual events. I think this makes the reward more active, more engaging and add to the feel that you are truly ruling a great empire.

      by Martin Gühmann
      This page will explore the key features of Civilization: Call to Power and help to explain each in more detail. (Copied from an EBWorld newsletter)

      The overall feature set is as follows:
      * Longer Timeline
      * Gorgeous 16-bit Graphics
      * Undersea and Space Colonization
      * Unconventional Warfare Strategies
      * Multiplayer Support
      * New Units, Buildings, and Advances
      * Streamlined Interface
      * Editing Tools

      Longer Timeline
      * Civ: CTP begins in 4000 BC and ends in 3000 AD.
      Why is this cool? 1. Previous Civilization games ended in 2020 AD. There was no opportunity to incorporate futuristic science fiction technologies into the game. Civ:CTP includes a wide variety of technological advances that draw from popular science-fiction books and films, including cryogenics, mind control, and zero-emission vehicles. All of these advancements bring new elements to gameplay. 2. Previous Civ games stagnated near the end because of a lack of new technologies. Civ:CTP's expanded timeline and futuristic technologies ensure that the game st...
