Looking for something different in a Civ style Game?

Sorry, my fault. I saw it on a couple of sites for abadonware a few months ago IIRC you see, so I linked the release of the source code and that.

Although of course this means I'll have to find a copy of CTP2 somewhere.

PM me if you have trouble.

BTW, if you're considering downloading CtP2, it won't work. You need a legit copy. If you download, you'll get a cracked exe, but the source code build exe checks for the original game CD. And the source code build is much better, so unless you want to be stuck with a game that has many more crashes, bugs and less options... just get yourself an original copy. It's somewhat rare, but also very cheap.

I think you can still get the Explosiv release. I bought it around the time that the source code was released.

and for the release,

I think we might have are CtP3 in AOM . I dont think Activision could do a better than what the fans have done to rebuild CtP2. Hail to Stan for AOM. But must give credit to the early mod makers because they kept at it when Activision no longer cared one way or the other. Cant wait for Ages of Man feel it will be a empire builders dream game.

The Draft Readme is ready to look at:

Hillarious readme. Two more questions.

1) Do the AIs fight wars with each other?
2) The original Frenzy AI had a big problem where you would in fact be unable to have peace with a civ you have attacked ever again. Basically, you signed a peace treaty, and they would attack you the next time they had units near you, often within 3 turns after peace treaty. Have you fixed that? I.e., can you fight some civ, then sign a peace treaty and actually have it last?

Stankarp is their a way to pay without putting credit card details online at all?
Put it this way i recently sent David Braben my £5 in the form of a uk postal order, as i was playing elite3(shareware).
I would be more than happy to mail an international money order or some such thing. Have a think about it atleast, as i'm sure many people would like the option

I could also then send my donation

[Maquiladora]

CoT youre in England right? Send me it and ill pay Stan with paypal if you want?

...I'll only read through the first pages...

stankarp, first I'd like to commend you and now I have a few comments for you:

1) Have you tried working out a deal with Activision for sharing profits with them? Of course you would have to establish a price first for gaining a profit, but possibly trying to share half of the profit with Activision might will them to your side.

2) You did a tremendous job on your website; it looks fantastic. Have you tried looking at godaddy.com? From what I know of them, especially since a coworker of mine works for them, they have good rates on hosting the site. As you put it on your post explaining the costs in the first page, it seems as if you're losing money anyways so paying for server costs per month may amount to all the same result.

3) Showcasing your work to a game company somehow might be a good idea if you were interested.

4) Have you thought about recreating the basis of the code yourself? If you're able to create a project this impressive yourself I'm sure spending another year or so on the engine of the game wouldn't be a problem for your expertise, or you could always try to recruit someone to do it for you.


Great work on the game I commend you and good luck.
