A round of applause to Wes, Locutus, Dale, Wombat, and all the others who did such a great job on MedMod2. And it's not done yet..... Anyone who steered clear of CTP2 because of the AI horror stories should really give it a try now. In addition to Wes' Med Mod, there's another excellent mod pack called Cradle of Civilization (made by Hexagonian), and between the two of them you'll certainly get your money's worth.

I have olny palyed CTP a few times and never played CTP2 at all, this interview and description of the mod pack has made me change my mind, i think i will go hire the game and play with it with the appropiate mod installed, wish me luck !!!!

Woh! Take me outta that list! I haven't actually done anything to help with the MedMod

I did help with Cradle though, PoW and WonderUnits code.

I agree though, the Mods do make CTP2 worth what it is now selling for.

Great interview Solver

[Solver]

I actually think that CtP 2 with MedPack should be a commercial product, rather than the original CtP 2. Original it's not worth the money more than 5 bucks .
I told you this interview is going to be even bigger .

[Paul Hanson]

I think that DarkCloud ought to be the next interviewee. I`ve always wondered what it is that compells him to want to garner more information about Apolyton all the time.

*looks at telephone, waiting for that offer of an interview*

*still tapping fingers on desk*

[Father Beast]

OK, I'm on my third game of CTP1, and am just starting to get a bit frustrated with some craziness. I'm a bit worried about a modpack, though. can I ust drop it into a subfolder like with FW? or would I need to write over the main files?

[Jeje2]

Gee, I must have missed something...

A good interview, frankly for first time in a very VERY long time I could think of playing CTP 1/2. Apereantly amaizing work has been done by WesW. (Hope you'll work for Civ3 also a little )

Solver: Please continue - this is besides fun reading a good way to present something. (Two inteerviews and both were something new to me.)

[rah]

Yes, another good job Solver. That makes two well done interviews.

BUT,
1. SMAC
2. CTP2

This is primarily a CIV site. Would it be too much to ask for one where the main focus is CIV? Oh, I forgot, Solver isn't familiar with any of those people.

RAH
That's R.A.H.

I can't believe I posted here before Ras did.

smac and ctp ARE civ, whether you like it or not

[rah]

Picky picky picky. I don't see smac and Ctp in the site title.

Anyway, you know what I mean.

I was just trying to reinforce some of the comment expressed in the other solver thread.

I mean, first you make the OT people feel like second class citizens, and now you're making all the CIV players feel that way too.

So how about it MARK!

RAH

I'm glad no one takes me seriously

[rah]

And to even infer that CTP2 is civ is laughable.
Without mod packs the game was unplayable.

Next you'll be saying the golf is civ.

Like it or not.

Hey
Almost unplayable actually

and modded, its better than Civ2, so there

[rah]

ALMOST,

The wimpiest AI ever.

Heck without the patch, the game kept crashing.

I might almost concede the "better than" if MP ever worked right.

Because MP is where the action is.

RAH

Now if anyone had ever given me a simple answer when I asked how to use the wes's modpack in the CTPII forum, I might have tried it, because i did think the game had SOME promise. Still waiting.
