Civ3 vs. CtP2? Newbie question...

[Sinemy]

Hello,

Im a Civ3 player and Ive just now been checking out ctp2. It seems very cool and Id like to get into it...so my question is this:

Is it worth buying and playing ctp2 when you already have civ3 and expansions?

Is it different enough? Are there aspects of ctp2's gameplay that are better than civ3?

Thanks!

Short answer: worth buying.

Yes on all three counts. And if you can find it, the price should be low enough that it will definatly be worth buying.

Oh, and here too.

I also say yes on three counts, but you should realise that the people who post in this forum are the ones who like CtP - you may end up disliking it after all.

Hmm, I see there's no decent comparison thread for a long time, that would mention the newest things about both CtP2 and Civ 3. Would be interesting to see if something along those lines surfaces at some point.
