I just got CTP 2 yesterday and only played it for a few hours, and I thought that it was pretty good. Ive never played CTP 1 so I cant say if 2 is better than 1, but in some ways I think CTP 2 is better than Civilization 2 gold edition. I like the graphics in CTP 2 the map seems to be more detailed than in Civ 2, but by no means more detailed than in Alpha Centauri (which I have played by the way, but didnt exactly like it very much) which had excellent map graphics and map events. I like the idea of the public works, it makes for an easier game it seems, though, I will admit it took me awhile to discover how to upgrade tiles ( I never read the manual or played to tutorial, I urge everyone to READ THE MANUAL!!!). On the downside, I think the Diplomacy is just a bit lacking and not as intuitive as it could be, but I like the idea, I think that its done a lot better than in Civ 2.
Overall I think CTP2 is a good game, and in some ways better than Alpha Centauri, with AC having a long learning curve and I never did get all of it figured out especially the prototype idea. But we'll all just have to wait and see what Civ 3 is like to decide if CTP 2 was revolutionary in any way. and Ill say right now, that Ill still buy Civ 3 no matter what.
So if you're looking for a quick fix in the turn based strategy genre but CTP2. Are there any mod sites in the works yet for CTP2 where I can download new scenarios? Anyone know of any? Let me know. thanks.Comment
