Civilization II call to power is a complete shambles though

Yea, no kidding. I was thrilled when it first came out but when I bought it and started it playing it? WTF! :-x

Post by: mantisspider on December 11, 2003, 08:06:36 AM: Instead of wasting time wishing for a Civ2 clone, why not help the guys who are working on Realms of Power? It looks better than FreeCiv and looks like its giving Civ2 a run for its money.

Post by: selco on December 11, 2003, 10:42:42 AM: This one looks to GFX overloaded IMHO. I liked the original Civilization most. (And played it some complete nights, only stopped bevore 9 AM as I had to arrive to work until 9 AM ;) GFX eye cande might be nice for the customer in the shop or for tha hfather selecting a game for his son, but I find it often disturbing in the game. The gameplay is the important thing, not the phantastic GFX. If you play chess on a computer a simple board with simple figures is best for example. 3D effects and GFX overloading look nice but are not omportant for long-time-motivation if the üplayer becomes bored....

I am currently playing FreeCiv against my son and I am really happy with it. Stable and comfortable,really a very good Amiga-port by Sebastian Bauer!

And setting up the TCP/IP stack should not be too difficult for today Amigians ;)

Post by: Crumb on December 11, 2003, 01:40:00 PM: civ2? AFAIK Call To Power sources are available and civ2 aren't...
Title: Re: IS there someone making amiga port for Civilization II
Post by: mantisspider on December 11, 2003, 02:22:54 PM: Please dont use the words Civ2 and Call to Power in the same sentance. :-P

The only game purchase that made me physically sick. I am still going to therapy to get over it. Alpha Centauri was a far better game, even though it felt like Sid Mier made it so him and his mates could play it.
yes Call to Power is open source, but I cant see why people would jump on to developing a game from scratch when there are developers out there already working on similar projects in need of help.
I just wish I could do something useful to help.

Post by: utri007 on December 11, 2003, 04:03:37 PM: realms of power might be nice game, but...

Call to power is made by professionals, it's good game, porting it to amiga might be quite fast job.

Is anyone look at those sources?

Last 5 years there have been about 5 good original amiga games, rest them in peace ;-)

Huh? This was possible in Civ1 already. In features Freeciv can match with Civ2 but in game play (against AI) Civ2 is much more interesting.

Civ2 is single player game, Freeciv is multiplayer game. IMO :-)

Post by: 4pLaY on December 11, 2003, 04:25:23 PM: All this talk about CIV when infact people should be thinking of a Colonization clone instead ;) a much better game imho.
