Here are some examples of reducing micromanagement:
- Build queues: you can order build queues in each city, lining up a list of buildings/units that you want to build. If you have specific methods of building cities, you can save your queues and load them up into new cities whenever you want. ...

CTP Features: Improving The Land
Bye bye settlers! CTP has a new system for improving the land. Yes, we will have irrigation, mines, roads, railroads, etc. Since the game goes out another 1000 years into the future, there will also be future improvements (maglev trains, for example). But we have changed the implementation. We found that in Civ2 when you had discovered refrigeration and railroads that you ended up spending a good part of every turn micromanaging your settlers/engineers as they landscaped your territory. We've taken some steps to reduce this....

Key Elements Of CTP
Peter Karpas of Activision talks about the the basic ideas of CTP. When we were handed this gift of being able to make the next generation Civilization game, our first reaction was pure and utter joy, followed closely by this huge sense of responsibility. How do you make the next generation of one of the greatest games of all time -- if not the greatest game of all time (as some would argue)? What we did was spend a tremendous amount of time discussing what it was that made Civilization so amazingly good. And in the end we came down to 2 basic things....

Wonder Stills & Descriptions
For the video version click here. Weclome! ACS is proud to present the first part of its comprehensive preview of C:CTP. To get the ball rolling, we thought it might be useful to run-down the list of wonders (especially with the recent postings of some of the movies, and the heated discussion that ensued) with their function(s) and a still from each! DanQ has compiled this information and has broken into a alphabetical listing spread over several pages. Expect more parts of our preview to pop up over the next couple of weeks as we inch towards CTP's public release. One thing we would like to point out, however, is that we have been informed by Activision that any of the wonders and/or its benefits are still subject to change....

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...March 25, 2012, 17:35 -
