Suggestions for a new poll

[Atahualpa]

501 votes for the old one. Well, I guess hes nearing his end.

I would suggest this poll:
Q: How would you react to the release of CtP2?
A1: Head for the car and speed to the store!
A2: Wait for better weather to go to the store!
A3: Wait for detailed Reviews and Player-comments.
A4: Wait if someone recommends it you.
A5: You dont care at all.

Good idea, Ata!

I wonder what Activision is thinking these days, anyways?

Maybe they're saying:
"That Apolyton site! They always seem to have it together - it's like they don't even need us!"

Yeah, that must be it. Maybe some good opion polls will inspire them to see how much we do want their input.

Here's one:

Q: What is the most essential element to improve between CTP1 and 2?
A1: Stacked Combat
A2: Public Works
A3: Animated Units
A4: Interface
A5: Wonder Movies
A6: "Mod"-ability

[MarkG]

thanks for the ideas, a new poll will be up tonight

beyond we have something quite interesting coming up in a couple of days

[Chuckles]

Whooo-ooo.

The suspence.

[Atahualpa]

Jesus, the headline today really shocked me!! CtP2 released, what do you do? For some seconds I really thought they have released CtP2. My heart is still beating like hell!
Good work Markos.

Ata, you're not the only one. I was already almost on my way to buy it.

Hmmmmm..... High-level meetings between Apolyton and Activision

Thanks for the heads up!

Here's another poll suggestion:

Q: What is the one CivII element you would like to see in CTPIII?

A1: Engineers for tile improvements
A2: City Window Screen
A3: City View
A4: Throne Room
A5: Caravan Units for Trade Routes
A6: Keep CTP2 Distinct / Other

Personally, I think that engineers are an indispensable part of any good sim

[Paul]

A7: the research goal button

[Atahualpa]

A1: thats a step backwards!
A2: argueable
A3: would be cool yes, but would be even better if it has more functions than just "watching"
A4: already in CtP (but not named Throne Room)
A5: thats a step backwards again! The CtP trade system is soooo much better than the Civ2!
A6: Definetly!
A7: Yep!!

[Glostakarov]

I'm going to have to agree with Ata on all counts. The different trade and public works systems were part of what helped distinguish CTP as a new game, rather than the same thing with a new interface and graphics. A possible poll could be:

"What game system in CTP most needs to be advanced/revised/redone"

A1: Combat
A2: Diplomacy
A3: Scenerio/Map editor/Modability
A4: Tech Tree/Wonder balance
A5: Timeline
A6: User Interface

We know a number of these are being worked on, but it'd be interesting to find out what people thing needs work the most desperately. I suppose a less kind way of phrasing the question would be "What part of CTP sucked the most jimmy."
On the other side of the coin, a poll could ask what game system in CTP "worked" the best.

Good idea glossy, but we should leave out the obvious answers. I guarantee you that your poll will have results of 55% diplomacy, 20% mod-ing, 20% interface.

"What minor feature from Civ1/Civ2 would you most like included in CTP2?"

1: End-of-game replay
2: Research "goals" button
3: City View
4: City Radius indicator
5: "Casualties" listing
6: Demographics
7: All of the above

...of course, given what I said about "obvious answers", maybe we should leave off #7?

Another idea:

Q: What would make you go and buy CTP2 within the first week of its release?
A1: A special discount for Apolyton members.
A2: A promise from Steve M. that the game is as good as gold.
A3: A promise from DanQ/MarkG that the game is as good as gold.
A4: There's no way I'd buy it so soon!

[Atahualpa]

Slingshot: yeah!

Another idea:

Q: If playing CTP2 made it impossible to play CivIII, what would make you buy CTP2?
A1: No settlers (PW is better)
A2: Better graphics and smoother interface
A3: CTP will be out sooner, and I don't want to wait!
A4: Activision has more vision than Firaxis
A5: CTP2 will be the only Civ sequel with something innovative
