You guys need to answer your Call to Power! It practically IS CIV3 if you ask me. Some of you guys are simply missing out on a great game that is more then keeping me occupied until this true CIV3 is released.

I heard a lot of negative stuff Call to Power (they said is wasn't good as SMAC), so I didn't get it. But I hear CTP2 is going gold soon - isn't it in beta now or something?

Shadowstrike is right. I love Civ2. And I waited anxiously for Call To Power to come out. From all I saw, it looked pretty good. But the day I bought it, it was already in the junk pile. For those who never got hooked on Civ2, I can understand why they would like the game.
But I actually think it was more difficult to make the transition from Civ2 to CTP. No city screen, new ways of movement, sketchy diplomacy, as well as an uninformative manual, made it difficult for me to adjust. At least those that never played Civ were starting out fresh. But even some of them must have been lost with the ridiculous warfare that I've heard so much about. Musketeers killing robots,etc. And of course there was the biggest fault of all (which has become a cliche, I know) there were no scenarios! The thing I loved about Civ2 was making my own scenarios.
I only hope that Civ3 makes an easier transition. Heck, I hope CTP2 makes an easier transition. From what I've heard, thats what CTP should have been.

I personally like CtP. I just have to re-think all my strategies to actually get good at it
About SMAC: I never saw the appeal in that game... The graphics were so-so, but that's not the worst part. What I really didn't like was the tech tree and units. I mean, with Civ and CtP you recognized the events and principles of history, but with SMAC... nothing.

I love sci-fi, but still... I need to actually understand what I'm doing to enjoy a game.
I like many of the ideas it implements though, hope they develop them further with Civ3, as well as "stealing" some of the stuff from CtP and CtP2 (I didn't say that...)

If CTP2 is any good that will be interesting because all the Civ2 MP people will go down there to kick arse with those CTP wankers.
