Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
Could be, at least in part, because the game has not yet been released in North America -- NA being where a large volume of this site's traffic originates.
I'll be curious to see how much activity there really is. Doesn't seem to lend itself to as much strategic discussion at first glance. At least not in the same way the other Civ games do.
You can't just take a screen or upload a save and ask for advice, for instance. (unless I missed something or that was disabled in the demo)
Doubt you'll see a demogame.
Maybe some succession games pop up.
No/little modding?
So, what's left to discuss?
General strategies for a particular civ? Balance issues, bugs.
Differing beeline strategies maybe.
The Game of the Week and leaderboards, perhaps?
But, all that really needs a full version to discuss. Unless you're actually challened by the whole warlords difficulty of the demo.
I think how the community forms will ultimately determine what's thought of the game in the long run.

I feel like most on Apolyton's forum have dismissed the game and will continue to play the PC game and discuss it more. CivRev, to them, appears as a subgame of the Civ license.
In addition to that, first time buyers of Civ probably won't seek this forum out as most console gamers already have a forum of choice.
One thing I love on Civ, is the complexity. One thing I hate on Civ, is the complexity.
In this times, I'm very busy, and probably, I sit to play 1 or 2 hours every 2 days (If I'm lucky), with my brain f####d of work. Civ is not a game for this IMHO.
Instead, CivRev, is a game, with all the essence of Civilization, but with a touch of simplicity to play games on 3, 4 hours.
Yes, probably, strategy issues are not so complex like normal Civ, I agree with you, but, CivRev, is not Civ V. CivRev is an adaption to consoles of Civ, a light Civ, to play "fast" games over multiplayer. (all people thath wants a complete Civ, has a PC for play CivIV or FreeCiv).
It's true, that had not been difficult to offer options for the size of the map, or some things like a "mode" a little more complex for Offline play for example, but I'm still thinking, thath is a great game.
Is the oportunity to come back to Civ with my poor time.
