Game does not work. It gives black screen with no video and just voice playing and it is not reacting to anything. I requested a refund.. Why no Call to Power. CtP2 sucks. :-(. The Steam version is the GOG version. I know this because there is file named GOG, and the GOG forums report all of the same problems. It runs the same as the disc version except the music is no longer on a disc in CD track format, but in a folder as OGG files. Therefore the music will not work in game. An external player is required. The original disc would even work in a CD player, for example you could play the music in a car. The music is an original orchestral soundtrack, and it is quite good but short, because of limited space on a 700 MB CD. Music aside, the Steam and the disc versions work perfectly fine on Windows 10 and 125 hz polling rate for me. I had problems with lag and crashes at any other polling rate with both Razer and Steelseries mice. I've also played the game on Windows XP and older and the polling rate was not an issue there.Call to Power 2 is the second and final Civilization competitor (clone) made by a very different Activision than the one that merged with Blizzard. In fact this very game almost bankrupted Activision, and it shows. The game was released content unfinished, it is very buggy for its time, support was quickly dropped, and the development team was dissolved. However, some developers on their own time helped the Apolyton community try to understand and modify the promising game. A long time after, and yet a long time ago, a much healthier Activision released the source code, but as it was stripped of all comments, perhaps the full potential of the game has never been realized. Nonetheless it allowed hard coded bugs to be fixed, the benefits of which can be found in the Apolyton Edition, which maintains the game content as released, with UI improvements. Since the source code was released so late, and then so much time was required to put it to use, many high quality mods never saw the benefit of these finishing touches.Gameplay is actually very different from the Civilization games. Compared, Call to Power 2 is far more streamlined with constant and smooth progression through the ages. Without worker units, gameplay is macromanagement compared to Firaxis' micromanagement. The tech tree and in-game guide called the "Great Library" is where this game really shines. It is much more mature and realistic than the later Civilization games.. Soon my CD with this game will be old enough to buy beer and watch porn. I just had to get it on Steam, nostalgia was too strong.(and because my new laptop doesn't have a CD drive). Not even close to good as Civ: Call to Power. I played this game many, many years ago and was stoked to find it on steam. Now, if I could only get it to work. ;(. Got it to launch, seen the intro video, but then the main menu was just a black screen could hear the music and what not, even with changing it to XP service pack 3 and run as admin still the same black main menu screen, had to give up and ask for a refund, really wanted to try it because I loved the first one, "Civilization: Call to Power" if only someone could remake these games so they are compatable with newer OS's and updated graphics because I don't think people use anything below 1080p now days, just a bunch of boxes on the screen if I had got it to work. So having not played it at all I can not recommend this game with a yes or no, just that it may not work unless you use an outdated OS or know how to fix the issues. P.S. Making me pick yes or no, so no for that fact that I could not play it, but I would like to if a fix comes along.. I'm an owner of the original call to power, when it still had civilization on its name before the rights were taken. That game was probably one of the most fun I've had as a child, and was my introduction to strategy based games along with age of empires 2, and I have no doubt I'd spent more than hundreds of hours on each. I never got around to playing its sequel and had eventually forgotten about it until I foundthe activision's classics sale , in thoughts of buying for the nostalgia, as I've heard the games were just about the same, which ultimately I did.I don't remember the game being this terrible.It runs like utter crap, as oposed to the original. It is slow and choppy, does not work at a suitable framerate, the HUD is somewhat similar to the prior game, and had I not have some prior knowledge of how it worked, I would've deemed it just as intuitive as the gameplay.The game also presents some issues. The one I found most upsetting was how I couldn't ALT+TAB away from the game or it would crash.As for the graphics, maybe you should take it with a grain of salt considering it's an old game, but ultimately I feel the need to express that it looks horrendous on an 1080p resolution as this wasn't so much the case on the original. It still didn't look good, but it wasn't as eye cringing as this one, and it was definitely playable. Besides, when it came to options within the game, I would have expected some improvement towards graphic settings, but the most you can manage is turn off certain effects in the game and change your resolution which is very disappointing.Honestly, I'd stay away from it. Perhaps there is some mod that can make it run smoother, but I shouldn't have to be searching for that to have a fully functional game. If you're still interested however, I'd advise you to go look for a copy of the original. Fair warning however that it might not run depending on how updated your OS is at the moment.. Despite the writeup where this game was recommended, it is nowhere near comparing to Civiliation. The interface is clunky and not everything is explained. What enemy unit is that coming toward me? Why can't archers somehow fire their arrows instead of entering melee with an enemy? Too many shortcomings... I want my money back.
