Its great to see some of the critics back on the forum. ![](http://apolyton.net/forums/wink.gif)
I can understand that so many were disappointed with the release version of CTP,- it sat on my shelf gathering dust for the first few months after release. But, once you have the patch and mods that are available from this site AND spend some time getting used to the interface, it turns into a damn fine game. In fact, for some time now it has been my favourite multiplayer turn-based strategy game.
The new/improved features indicated for CTP II, suggests that there might be great improvements to the single player game, where good diplomacy (and personalities?) are much more important in adding atmosphere to what, at times, can seem a rather "cold" game.
Markos,-2 other things I would suggest adding to your list of "important stuff"-
1. Improved interfaces and menus (could help more people appreciate the game without having to get used to the mechanics)
2. More ways to win. ( I may be in a minority here, but I prefer to run a peaceful civ. I think strategy in the game could be improved enormously if I had more options to consider that the Alien stuff)
So… I am really looking forward to CTP II.
