Just wanted to know if anyone has news wether Activision ever thought of releasing a Call to Power 3... I'm sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum

No - Activision has bailed out of it. (although keep an eye on the Source Code project in the CTP2 forums)
You can hope the Firaxis wakes up and impliments the good features of CTP into civ4.
Of course some players think that there is nothing redeeming in CTP/CTP2. Blind loyalty sometimes does that...Yes, let's be optimistic until we have reason to be otherwise...No, let's be pessimistic until we are forced to do otherwise...Maybe, let's be balanced until we are convinced to do otherwise. -- DrSpike, Skanky Burns, Shogun Gunner

Quite sad, isn't it?Comment

i think the first 2 sucked enough."I've lived too long with pain. I won't know who I am without it. We have to leave this place, I am almost happy here."

I wouldn't say they sucked entirely...there were several good ideas that were improvements from Civ2...however, the gameplay lacked something, the bizarre futuristic techs, too many lawyer units -- that was really weird IMO...anyway, the product [/i]missed[/i]Haven't been here for ages....Comment

They won't. Activision no longer develops ANY games, not to mention most of the former CtP developers have either been laid off or left.Comment

Of course some hope that the Source Code project will eventually turn in to some kind of a sequel.

What really sucks are "this or that sucks" posts
Anyway, CTP1 imho implemented at least 4 things that Civ games haven't yet dared to do (for unknown reasons):- 1) stack combat.
2) public works.
3) space atmosphere.
4) futuristic technologies
It's a pity that Activision baled out on all of us CTP fans... and the worst thing is, that they had a great innovative CTP1 game on their hands... all they had to do for me to enjoy CTP2 was improve graphics and interface, and add a couple of units and imps.
Good thing they released the source code tho... I'm totally optimistic on what the community will accomplish with it.Comment
- 1) stack combat.

I agree that stacked combat and public works were great new things, disagree vehemently that the space layer and futuristic technology are good ideas.
And agree that "suck" posts do indeed suck, and game "loyalty" making people hate similar games is downright absurd.
CtP had a lot of good ideas, and Civ 4 will the be poorer for ignoring them, if indeed that is what Firaxis chooses to do.Comment

1) stack combat. - meh. coulda been better, but good idea.
2) public works. - sucks.
3) space atmosphere. - elaborate.
4) futuristic technologies - sucks."I've lived too long with pain. I won't know who I am without it. We have to leave this place, I am almost happy here."

i've played the both, and i feel that CtP is a bastardization of one of the greatest series of all time.Originally posted by Fosse

...and I think CTP was an expansion on it.
Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

1) stack combat.
The benefits of this are arguable.
2) public works.
A lot of people hate this, some like it, the tile improvements themselves really sucked.
3) space atmosphere.

4) futuristic technologies
