CTP2 must be better than CTP

I was born in Modesto, lived on Crows Landing Hiwy 10 miles f/Modesto, went to Turlock High. My Aunt live for a time across the river from Riverbank and Oakdale. Both times a short distance from River Road. Saw lots of Francis the talking Mule movie in Oakdale when I was a young boy.

I would love to talk about Subs., however since I'm a retired Test Superviser I would get into trouble with some people. If you remember the Gulf war, a col. was asked about Subs. and he gave a short answer. The next day General Green came to brifting and said no more question would be taken about Subs. operation. Good luck on your request for Hot Seat. As someone has said, maybe Activision is going to wait to see how well CTP 2 sells before they take the time to devloped a bug free Hot seat and PBEM patch.

I think that most people here would be satisfied on the hotseat issue if activision simply said "Hotseat is buggy so we won't release it with the game but if you want to come back to our site in a months time we will have a hotseat patch for you".

(Who is actually going to let anyone else near their computer for the first month anyway )

You're right: I think most people would be satisfied with that. But Activision just can't afford to say that because they haven't made the decision on whether they're ever going to include Hotseat in a patch. It's a possibility that we'll never get it. It'd be a damn shame, and I hope it doesn't happen, but until they know they're going to patch in Hotseat, they can't say anything. Can you imagine how much more they'd get hammered if they said they were going to and never got around to it?

Am I the only one who likes more micromangement. I don't like the idea that I won't be able to place my workers where I want to. Besides how hard is it to that anyway. I hope they don't try to make this game too easy to play.

First: The ability to build canals would in my opinion
be like playing in cheat mode.

Second: As far as multiplayer civ games are concerned
only my computer can invest the time it takes to complete a game.

That's what PBEM is about. I can't devote the time to play an entire game of CTP with someone, but I can devote 15 minutes a night, up to an hour a night to take my turn.

So if Activision is not willing to commit themselves to supporting the game prior to its release, why should you commit your hard earned money to buy it?
