Hi everybody!
I'm relatively (?) new to this game (1 month or so) but still I find it better than Civ2 in some ways like:
1. You can stack units together to make it a more powerful combo. This means that there is no more "Get best guy first and win" thing.
2. At last! a Civ game which lets you go in space! (I don't know for Civ1
) When I was playing Civ2, I always wanted to continue and go colonize other planets or at LEAST go in space which CTP did (not for colonizing other planets 
).
3. Subversive units! In Civ2, the game was all about getting the best military units. But now, some players can do much more damage with those stealthy slavers getting to all your citizens or those infectors, corporate branches or all those cool guys. It takes the game to a new level with rewards well someone who uses them.
4. Trading! I prefer by far the trading system of CTP. You can understand it much better and you don't have to write down which city the trade caravan I built 30 turns before had to go!
5. It's buggy! ... ... ... ... never mind that one
.
But of course, every game has a downfall (or LOTS of downfalls ):
1. It's BUGGY as hell! nothing pisses me more than playing a 5 hours game with 30 civs and me having the best citys by far cause of my slaving skillz and then BAM! game shuts down!
2. I don't find the water units "specialized" enought. I "think" I remember in Civ2 about 5 sorts of ships, each specialized for a specific task.
3. My friend once lost 3/4 of his new air fighter (unit you have in about mid-game to late-game) to a legion (VERY early-game)
4. Interface! Almost forgot about this one. Interface in Civ2 was MUCH better, you could see everything you needed in one window instead of 5 windows!
Well that's all I found in the time I wrote this. To conclude this, CTP is a great game, you just have to forget about the bugs (yea right).
Cya!
