Any of you guys going to buy CTP2?

November 5, 2000, 19:10

If you do, I would be really interested in your reviews.

------------------
Grrrr!!

I probably will, but most likely not till after Christmas. Funds are low right now, and the $50.00 or so the game will cost would be a significant part of our Christmas money.

The camel is not a part of civ.

THE CAMEL IS CIV !!!!

AH I am buying it right away even if I have to bounce a check

I am dying for a new game to play as winter is setting in here. Due to my lack of work right now I will also be able to play 16 hours a day for a while so I will give you a full review.*cough* hope its burnable *cough*, cuz I will need a backup from its wear

Yeah a backup thats right.

Mercantile · November 11, 2000, 15:52

i won't buy it unless it rocks, i tried the other one, and although i didnt give it much time, it makes a great coaster by my computer

November 12, 2000, 18:38

Thanks Vlad, DarthVeda is going to do a review too - I need people I can trust.

Grrrr!!

Well as the official date got moved up I should have a copy in my hands tomorrow.I am very much a civ newbie having never played anything but civ2 gold and even that was not until last October. So CTP2 should be interesting to learn, never even looked at CTP1 so its all new.I hope I can give people a civ2 players view of the new game, if nothing else at least a beginners view of it. Of course my ultimate goal is to beat AH and the old school civ2 players

Yeah you laugh big boy we still have some unfinished business from that terrible unorganized diplogame we were in

Empress · November 16, 2000, 18:26

Considering that I didnt' buy CTP, no i'm not going to buy CTP2.

November 16, 2000, 18:55

If its good I'm going to defect

Grrrr!!

ravagon · November 16, 2000, 19:39

I too would be interested in a review or two from "trusted" sources. I had been thinking of getting one out of the North American ctp guys (who I imagine will probably snap ctp2 up) but how smart could they be? They bought ctp1...

vlad · November 16, 2000, 21:30

Well I just posted this in the CTP2 forum, but one of the best things about civ2 is while you play you can still see your systray and ICQ, so you can chat while you play. CTP2 doesn't allow this

I am bumming. Game is going good so far, but I had to quit the game to post this,and that kind of sucks. The movement is a bit awkward to compared to civ2. Units are similar, and better graphics than civ2,but Mindseye's HiRes graphics for civ2 are better than CTP2. Ok back to my game for now. Oh and it doesn't seem I can customize city names or Nationalities, that would suck, but I will keep trying.

Yeah it was one of those screwy Diplo numbers and although you were high in PG, my evil vampire whores were a violent bunch and ready to crush you

. I just like to rib AH about civ, I have never played him and I imagine he sucks.
Well guys here is an easy take on CTP2; I have had it all night and have not much interest in playing. I feel it will never be a classic game, and honestly it simply doesn't compare to civ 2. I really can't say why, maybe its just too different or it plays too slow.I just know for me it doesn't have the excitement level of civ2 or Panzer General. I will keep at it and see if it grows on me, who knows maybe I will learn to love it. My initial advice for the diehard civ2 player is don't spend $50, well unless you wanna buy mine from me

vlad · November 17, 2000, 04:12

Forgot to say I have found now you can customize city names with a right click, but still no way to name my Vampire Whores civ.

November 17, 2000, 05:10

Now Vlad, don't get me wrong about AH. He's a great military strategist; he just doesn't go for the civ trickery of ICS and WLTPD to get high pg..... anyway, I thought it was vampires that sucked

I remember you now! You were the only other reliable player in that game. Let's catch up sometime...

Crustacian · November 17, 2000, 15:51

Vlad, maybe you can sooner customise you a new "VW" unit and then all will know who you are even if your civ is called something mun..."DANE"
or you picked up the game "SCOT"...free
or you joined "US"...in..."A"...game hehe

I would want to not only name my Civ Folk, but be able to have my own list of City names saved into that Civ so each time one was founded it would automatically name is what I wanted. But then maybe I am too picky!!

CapTVK · November 17, 2000, 18:55

Having been burned on CTP I'm still waiting for the:

"It's official, CTP2 SUCKS!"-thread

November 17, 2000, 22:07

It seems MarkG is censoring the CTP2 forums fairly strictly so don't hold your breath wating for the "it sucks" thread, a couple already been deleted.

Chaos, panic and disorder - My work here is done.

i was thinking of removing your special title, horsie, but nah....
you still deserve it

November 18, 2000, 01:20

You should delete that upstart who registered as The Troll

Am I right in saying you deleted my CTP2 threads?

Well guys I am going to give it a good playing this whole weekend then I will post the "it sucks thread" if it does. It is growing on me a little, but still not the way civ2 did. I mean I can sleep and not have strategy dreams like I had when I first played civ 2.If someone wanted to buy it though I would sell it instantly, but then again all the warez sites have it now too. Someone in the CTP2 forum said you can name each army, that might add something kewl, so again I will not post until monday!!! Also I will try it in MP mode.
