Answer the Call to Power.
Over 6000 years of gameplay with a sophisticated diplomatic, economic and warfare system
A worthy successor to the famous Sid Meier's Civilization series
One of the finest turn-based strategy games of all time, with challenging gameplay
This was a very fun game to play; a lot of improvements over the other civ games, particularly the techtree. I would have given a very positive rating except that the game crashes so frequently that it's not worth playing. I have yet to get through a game without it crashing; and no, you can't just save often, the same bug will crash you again as soon as you reload the savegame.
The complexity of what you can manage in this game is by far greater than any turn based strategy game I've ever played. The predecessor Civilization: Call to Power was great as well.
There is a chance to conquer your enemy with multiple types of subversion from religion to cultural rebellion. This was one of the best Civilization games of all time even though some licensing stripped the Civilization name away from it before it could be released.
This game rivals even the most recent Civilization V (Civ 5) which I do enjoy playing.
TLDR; A variation on the civilization games allowing the player to explore future technology such as mechs and aquatic cities. Nothing fundamentally new but offers a new twist on the basic civilization game.
Call to power (CTP2) 2 was released before Civ 3, and shares the same basic gameplay of a Civ2/3 game, so if you don't like civilization you likely won't want to play CTP2. CTP2's major difference is that it deviates from Civilization's technological realism and allows you to play and research many years into the future with mechs, hover tanks, A.I. and aquatic cities.
If you like the basic Civilisation gameplay but find it becomes repetetive and want a bit of variation in the gameplay now and again then I would reccomend buying call to power (and alpha centauri).
I personally own CTP2, alpha centauri and Civ 4, and I switch between the games otherwise I get bored.
I won't bother going into detail with the basic game mechanics as they are more or less the same as civilization 2/3 however it does have some noticeable differing features. The graphics are midway between civ 2 and civ 3, probably closer to civ 3.
This is by far the worst of any "Civ" title. The AI was insane. One AI unit could demolish 2 or 3 of your equal units at any given time. Capturing cities required complete armies, but they could use 1 unit to take one of your cities, and the game was all but impossible to beat without being a full on warrior. While it did have some cool ideas, like the public works and water cities, the flaws far away the good stuff. Call to Power 1 is by far a better game of the Call to Power series.
Growing up, I loved Civ II, it was by far my favorite Civ game, and it still has a dear place in my heart. Call to Power is the sequel that I wish the newer Civ games could live up to. It's improved the graphics of Civ II, but without the corny 3D. The animations aren't breath taking, but they fit nicely with the feel of the game. Everything runs smoothly. It stream lines the building from Civ II, during the end game, it gets rid of the long sessions spent telling what to build next by adding in build queues. Great game, highly recommended.
