You bothered to create a DL just to post this?It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

If you think about it...
A little bit of a graphics overhaul, Smarter AI (with open code), A merge of the best of both editors (Civ3 & CTP2), Merge of the trade systems (you negotiate deals but it still shows the goods transferred so you can pirate it).
Other major and minor stuff and it would be the greatest game ever!Comment

Absolutely, espescially the bit about the open-code. The ability to create mods and scenarios is, afterall, what gives staying power to these types of games.Originally posted by Wise Ass

Yea if the first two weren't open code they would not have sold half of the the few copies they did sell.
If Activision hired the people who have made CTP2 what it is today to design it they would have a gold mine... hmmm...
Kind of sad what happens when a good idea is poorly funded and even more poorly developed.

Rah,
No offense, but keep your DL dances in the OT please. Here we tend to be nice to newcomers, even if they are DLs... (the fact that Wise Ass knows what a DL is, is quite suspicious, although it doesn't prove anything; his regdate OTOH pleads for him; either way, until proven guilty by your brother (who should be checking as I edit this post
), he's innocent to me).
Wise Ass,
As pointed out, Activision gave up on the CtP series because CtP2 was a total financial failure, almost bankrupted the company. They won't want to burn their hands a second time
However, contrary to what you said, CtP1 was actually extremely successful commercially, it sold more copies than SMAC, which was itself already a best-seller. CtP1 even temporarily re-entered the top 10 of best selling games a few months ago, so it's still selling!
