Use your public works. Set your % in the empire manager and wait a few turns to collect enought pw. once you have enough click on tiles and the improvment you want to use. It will turn red if you cant do it or green and you can place it. Right click to cancel.

Page 15 on the manual.

Thanks Davor, sounds simple. I did have a percentage set and obviously had enough since the mayors had no problem using it. I did read that and thought that's what I did, to no avail. I will try again armed with better knowledge.

And it was real funny/frustrating knowing i had all of the potential stored up unused, and would run across AI's that had no problems. So I just took their cities.

Hi!

You can read in the CTP2-Help (in German it is called "Lexikothek") that a destroyer can bombard troops and aircrafts and the frigate can bombard cities at the coast.

But my ships are not able to bombard this units or cities. Only my battleship can bombard cities.

Does anyone know why?

I have tried all the suggested fixes on the Activision site for fixing this problem and it still wont work. Anyone got any ideas - Activision have suggested that we update all our drivers - we've spent hours doing that and it still wont play! We now have direct x 8 as the one on the CD didn't work after several re-installs.

I get this crash I hear coughing for the first time in the game. I checked my sound blaster drivers because eax is in the illegal operation mentioned.

I assume you mean ironclads (there are no more frigates in CTP2), though it may be in the translation. They are not meant to bombard land. The default is to require at least a battleship to bombard land. To make the game more realistic, you can edit the Ship-Of-The-Line and the Ironclad to bombard cities and units as in real life, they could and did.

Go into your Ctp2/ctp2_data/default/gamedata/units.txt file and add in the line: CanBombard: Land to the end of the ship-of-the-line and ironclad entries.

I am pasting from another thread:

quote: I thought a bit about the "iv50" until i realized that it might stand for the Intel Indeo Video 5.0 codec and i was right. I downloaded the codec and now the videos work! The link (Indeo isn't an Intel brand anymore): http://www2.us.ligos.com/ids/indeo/iv5setup.exe good luck, Rince

And just in case link to the thread mentioned: http://apolyton.net/forums/Forum43/HTML/000152.html

Yeah thats what i did in my other games. not worth it. too time consuming. better building caravans for 34 to 50 turns it takes to build the pyramids. and get way more money.

thanxs mapleleaf. just wanted to make shure. I really appreciate it.

Does anyone have the empty backgrounds that CTP uses for the advances, or at least know where someone might have them on a website?

[Dan PDX]

You don't hit print svreen. It's in the clipboard.

For example;

You are playing, or viewing the advances whatever. You press ALT+[PRT SCRN]

Now the screen is in the clipboard. Exit the game and load your graphics program. If you don't have one use MS Paint.

After the program opens go up and click on [EDIT] then click on paste.

You will see a message box telling you "The image in the clipboard is larger than the bitmap. Would you like the bitmap enlarged?" Click [YES]

Now your screenshot is in paint and you can save it. It would help to use a better program so you can modify the image. However the simple goal is get into a file. Then at least you have it saved somewhere and can work with it later.

I like PaintShop Pro 7.0, it's about 99$ on the web but you can find it cheaper sometimes in a store. On sale or whatever. It even comes with an Animation Shop. Good for viewing AVI files. You can even save the frame from the AVI as a TGA file to use in call to power.

I don't seem to be able to surpass the 60-limit in citysize (at least not in the medium level). This puzzles me somewhat, since the scorebreakdown states that one gets a certain amount of points for cities < 300000, another amount for cities > 300000 and < 1000000, all the way up to a population of 5 000 000!
How the heck is one supposed to get a city to grow beyond a size of 500? This looks to me that someone made a pretty big mistake while coding the 1.11 patch (which i now use, and it is a sorry piece of code). Am I wrong here? Can one pass the size 60-limit? Have I misunderstood the scorings?

I also think that including the "conquered civs" x 500 points in the score was a big mistake, because it makes it impossible to have any kind of hall of fame-thingy, since one can simply let a city revolt, then conquer it and get those yummy 500 points and repeat the process over and over again...
This should've probably been posted in another forum though....

Actually, you can select which plane to unload. Click on the aircraft carrier picture, then pick the plane that you want to launch, and finally click the unload icon.
