Talk:Civilization: Call to Power

Slavery & Public Works

Since this page is likely read having linked from the Civilization page, it might be worth mentioning two of the most interesting ways that CTP different from Civ, that being Slavery and the use of Public Works instead of Workers.

Warfare

Also, it's important to note the differences in warfare between the two series. CTP allowing stacks of units to attack at once, instead of the 1 vs 1 system of the official games, and the usage of unconventional warfare units such as spies, infectors, clerics and lawyers to cripple other civilizations

Contrast to MicroProse/Firaxis games

I think more needs to be done here to distinguish C:CtP from those "other" Civilization games. The Pollution, Happiness and Wonders sections sound as if this game is virtually identical to the others in those areas, so why bother describing them here? Focus on the ways that it is different/improved/misguided, etc. One aspect that is barely even mentioned is the futurist aspects, both science fictional and fantastic. 12.233.146.130 (talk) 20:39, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

What really needs to be done is to state clearly that Civ: Call to power has very little to do with Sid Meier's Civ. CTP is in fact based on the board game (and contrary to common belief Sid's game is not). --Tomhell (talk) 02:03, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Reception

Surely there must be some internationally more notable sources for reception than a review in a Finnish magazine, which currently takes up the majority of this section? 62.78.230.2 (talk) 15:41, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
