Should I buy CTP now?

[Alexander's Horse]

I was very disappointed with CTP when I rushed out to buy it when it first came out. I'm ready to be openminded again now that its in the discount bin Should I buy it? Have the bugs been ironed out sufficiently to make it worthwhile?

I would value your opinion, as may other fence sitters

i don't know how the prices are therer in central asia , but if it's $30us or less (compared to normal new game pricing of up to $50us), then go for it. i would never, ever pay full price for something with as many bugs and quirks as ctp, but i'd say it was worth what i payed ($32 including tax). well, when you compare that i bought smac and halflife for only five dollars more each, ctp wasn't worth the money, but it is what i've been playing lately, and i have been enjoying it.

Hey horsie, your sig is messed up

Personally, CtP is 200% more refined with the mods available, buy it.. its like a whole new game, but with the same lame graphics.

*gee, they don't exactly brim over with enthusiam*

[ghen]

Hmm yes.. now in American English please

CtP is a much more refined game with the Apolyton pack and AAIP's.. I don't know what you're looking for really though.. Turns take a few more minutes than they used to because of the mods, but its an evil that we all live with.

AH,

No, we don't exactly brim over with enthousiasm because you're not the first to ask this question (and you haven't exactly made yourself very popular on this forum in the past )

Anyway, if you're willing to accept that CtP is different than Civ2 and when you install some patches and mods etc. (read the tread "Which mods should I get? A newbie guide." to learn which ones) then CtP is definite worth a second try. The fact that ghen was recently 'converted' is the best evidence of that...

horsie, arent you tired of posting such threads?

[Alexander's Horse]

Mark, my interest is genuine. Close the thread If I get twisted

I'd also like to know if you have to download mods or if they have been incorporated in later versions.
