I will buy CTP2 !

[MidKnight Lament]

Of course, I can't speak for everyone else, but personally, I don't want your pity, nor do I believe I have any need for it.

It's a shame that aCa can't express his love for a Civ-genre game on what is a Civ fansite without getting subjected to your taunts.

As a software professional I know how difficult it is to produce a software that reaches the public expectation and works without major bugs right out-of-the-box. I doubt that CTP2 will. The question in hand is will activision keep working and fixing it? The more responsive Actvision is, more likely that I will buy the software.

For example if a month after the software is out, I see Activision sending patches to fix bugs and present at this forum to respond to critics then I'll buy right away, otherwise I will wait until they fix it. If they don't fix it, I don't buy....


I have purchase CTP itselfonly after the 1.2 patch and after finding the apolyton site and this forum, that I was really able to enjoy the game. (BTW, I've bought CTP to give to my nephews as a gift when they were visiting me, but turned out their computer was not strong enough to run it, so I've stick with the game and gave another one to them. Now they have another computer and want CTP so I guess I'll have to buy CTP2 sometime in the future!!!!) 8^)

Yes I'll also buy CTPII... hmmmm on or about March 1, 2001.

you know how some people make the wrong choice in life and then tell other about their mistake so they don't do the same dumb thing an regret it too? well, all i can say is that i jumped on the propaganda wagon thinking cpt I would be the 'next best thing' and was greatly let down by its serious flaws, and lack of activision support. i litterally got it out of the box the day it came out (like the big brown UPS box next to the cash register...the guy routed through and opened teh shipping box just so i could get the game...hey, i had off that day ) so, i am not saying that ctpII is going to be auwfull, i am just SERIOUSLY questioning the hype this time, and offer my *suggestion* that others not make the same mistake many people did the first time round...but instead wait for the reviews, and possibley a demo this time.

just my 1¢ (because my girlfriend took the other 1¢ )

[TomTom]

I will definitely buy CTPII, as soon it's available. I even would die to get a Beta, if there will be one. I would test/play it all night long.
When CTP came out, I had my doubts and problems with it, since I played CIV and CIVII for years. But now I love it, regardless of bugs and missing features it has (not). I hope, it will come out very soon.

Why are you so sure about the release date? I haven't seen any. Btw: When is your birthday? :-)

[Atahualpa]

TomTom: Any release dates are pure speculation. Nevertheless if you ask me for a tip I would also say December. But well I wouldnt get upset if they would say: "Nah we cant make it till then, we have some really awesome features to add to the game". Then I would say: "Take as much time as you want, just make sure that its an awesome game".

I keep hearing late fall too - I suspect that there will be a push to get the game out to take advantage of the Christmas season.

That could be bad though if it is incomplete - but I hold out hope that they have had close to 2 years to wade through all the negative feedback and get it right.

And now there seems to be info about the official website coming out soon - could be a good sign.

BTW, my birthday is Nov. 24 - at the start of the selling frenzy - for all of you dying to get me something

I will get to see the reviews and not have to spend my hard-earned cash on it. A win-win!!!

[joseph1944]

I will preorder it, the same way I order CTP 1, right from AV. I like CTP overall. Yes there was a few problem, and yes AV should have done a better job of supporting it. I belive this was their first shot at a CIV.game and I hope they have learned from their mistakes. Also I would like to thank WesW, and all of the other, who help on Med 4 to make CTP a great game.

KEEP UP THE TERRIFIC WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr.Green]

That makes 2 of us, DrDanger. Civ2 just looked OLD when put next to CTP. I will buy CTP2 as soon as possible, whenever it lands in Africa. In the mean time, I will try out Wes' final Mod pack, just to keep me busy.

[Jonkheer]

I also will buy the game ASAP!!

It is true that a rushed game contains a lot of bugs, but lets be realistic here!

CTP2 is build on the engine of CTP. The pathces of CTP solved a lot of problems, and the team really didn't start form nothing. They continued repairing the game, and putting new features in it.

If you are worried about the Beta-testing time, well I thing you can say we all betatested the game by playing CTP.

btw, I realy liked CTP! The graphics were very cool, and they idea of sea-exploration was awsome! For me the only problem was the bad diplomacy.

I think even Civ1 had a better diplomacy. But I am trilled to see that this is the biggest improvement. Ofcourse, you can't always believe what they show you, but well... it is just a game. And this one, I LIKE IT!

[Tilemacho]

...This is excactly like CTP1. I was so excited about it that couldn't wait to buy it her in Greece so downloaded from internet 1 day before the official release......and then...it was so slow, so unbalanced...so BAD!!!
I eventually liked the game after the 1.2 patch and the CD's mod... but PEOPLE DONT RUSH.

take your time to see if the game is really so good

Dear Diplomat,

When you have bought and played CalltoPower II, could you please post your detailed review and impressions on this Forum?

You are one of those posters on the Forum whose opinion I hold in the greatest esteem. I am curious to hear from you.

Sincere regards, thanking you in advance!
