Any of you guys going to buy CTP2?

[Alexander's Horse]

If you do, I would be really interested in your reviews.

Grrrr!!

I probably will, but most likely not till after Christmas. Funds are low right now, and the $50.00 or so the game will cost would be a significant part of our Christmas money.

The camel is not a part of civ.

THE CAMEL IS CIV !!!!

SAVE THE CAMEL !!!!!!

AH I am buying it right away even if I have to bounce a check I am dying for a new game to play as winter is setting in here. Due to my lack of work right now I will also be able to play 16 hours a day for a while so I will give you a full review.*cough* hope its burnable *cough*, cuz I will need a backup from its wear Yeah a backup thats right.

i won't buy it unless it rocks, i tried the other one, and although i didnt give it much time, it makes a great coaster by my computer

Thanks Vlad, DarthVeda is going to do a review too - I need people I can trust.

Well as the official date got moved up I should have a copy in my hands tomorrow.I am very much a civ newbie having never played anything but civ2 gold and even that was not until last October. So CTP2 should be interesting to learn, never even looked at CTP1 so its all new.I hope I can give people a civ2 players view of the new game, if nothing else at least a beginners view of it. Of course my ultimate goal is to beat AH and the old school civ2 players

Yeah you laugh big boy we still have some unfinished business from that terrible unorganized diplogame we were in

[Empress]

Considering that I didnt' buy CTP, no i'm not going to buy CTP2.

[Alexander's Horse]

If its good I'm going to defect

I too would be interested in a review or two from "trusted" sources. I had been thinking of getting one out of the North American ctp guys (who I imagine will probably snap ctp2 up) but how smart could they be? They bought ctp1...

[vlad]

Well I just posted this in the CTP2 forum, but one of the best things about civ2 is while you play you can still see your systray and ICQ, so you can chat while you play. CTP2 doesn't allow this I am bumming. Game is going good so far, but I had to quit the game to post this,and that kind of sucks. The movement is a bit awkward to compared to civ2. Units are similar, and better graphics than civ2,but Mindseye's HiRes graphics for civ2 are better than CTP2. Ok back to my game for now. Oh and it doesn't seem I can customize city names or Nationalities, that would suck, but I will keep trying.

Yeah it was one of those screwy Diplo numbers and although you were high in PG, my evil vampire whores were a violent bunch and ready to crush you . I just like to rib AH about civ, I have never played him and I imagine he sucks.
Well guys here is an easy take on CTP2; I have had it all night and have not much interest in playing. I feel it will never be a classic game, and honestly it simply doesn't compare to civ 2. I really can't say why, maybe its just too different or it plays too slow.I just know for me it doesn't have the excitement level of civ2 or Panzer General. I will keep at it and see if it grows on me, who knows maybe I will learn to love it. My initial advice for the diehard civ2 player is don't spend $50, well unless you wanna buy mine from me

[vlad]

Forgot to say I have found now you can customize city names with a right click, but still no way to name my Vampire Whores civ.
