I hate it when they do that - I like to frame the charts. They should put em on separate pieces of paper. Damn.

Grrrr!!

I asked one of the Activision guys to do just that, and they said they'd look into it, but obviously two pieces of paper must have worked out too expensive... *sheesh*

Well, I got a copy today and have played about an hour's worth.

The 'click and drag' method of moving units is going to take a little getting used to. I'm not sure I really like it. Unlike CTP1, the game doesn't center the screen on a unit queued to move unless it's way off the screen, so sometimes it's a bit of a hunt to figure out what to do next.

The Wonder movies are far superior than the ones in CTP1, both in video quality and in the information they provide.

The diplomacy is a vast improvement over the game's predecessor. It's gratifying when a proposal is accepted, and aggravating when one isn't. So far it seems the AI has no hesitations about repeatedly trespassing, though it could just be the Civ I'm against right now (Brazillians)

Dudes, I have the ****ing game man!!!! And it's way better than taking 3 hits of acid, but not as good as taking 5 caps of shrooms... maybe all the ctp2 and the shrooms together

Well, my hands are actually neither hot nor little, but they are holding a retail copy of CTP2. I just picked it up at an Electronics Boutique in East Central Florida. Contains a nice ninety page manual, a poster with the tech tree on one side and a reference chart on the other, and of course the CD in a jewel case.

You lucky man!

Hit the 'o'-key, that often helps (though not always).

AH,

You need to buy 2 copies of the game then...

Either that, or Darth can give you his copy of the game when he is done with it!
