Davor I found that if you have more than 30 players
total it will crash on a reload every time.

Hey there. Thanks for the replies. I am only playing with 8 players.
I tried loading while in a game. I tried loading by exiting a game. I tried loading by exiting the game, shutting the computer off. Wait a min, start up the computer and load the game. to no avil it did not work so I just started a new game. I have uninstalled the game and reinstalled is a seconded time with the patch and so far have had no problems. My problems started around turn 274 and right now i am at turn 100 so hopefully it wont happen again. IF it does I will post again.

1st off, I have 2 games going. Both are saved and I flip back and forth between them. When I tried to load one, I found that all the settings had been changed to those of the other game. What happened?
2ndly, when you use the "Target Nuke" function, is it suposed to make a noise or display something? If so what am I doing wrong to not have it work?

I am not shure if this will help you. I read other people having this problem so I am not installing direct x 8. so i only can say is uninstall it. i am not shure how you do it cause i installed it but had to use my windows me to go back to anthor days setting.
IF you dont have windows me i am not shure what you can do except to cry or reformat your hard drive and install everything from scratch and not install direct x 8. (wich i did alot before i got windows me)

I have the same problem. Pretty lame it doesn't recognize a newer version.
It works anyway, though. Just don't start the game from the CD. Have the CD in the drive, but start the game from the Start menu. Then I have had no problems (at least with this part).

I just purchased CTPII, and I have not been able to play it yet. I can't get throuh one turn. I move my settler, and when I hit End of Turn, I get an invalid page fault error and get bounced out to the desktop. I've read the posts, and I haven't come across anything that could help. I have a 700 MHZ Athlon, 128 M RAM, and a basic 8M ATI video board. The movie at the beginning runs fine. I have disabled all animations. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

I finally got this game to work. I wanted to post my solution in case it could help others who were having the same problem. I think it's ridiculous that I have to go through this to play a game. I still think the game was a rush job. I was able to get the game to play by adjusting the audio acceleration to basic. This is done in Control Panel - Multimedia - Advanced Settings. Drag the acceleration bar to the second notch from the left. Also make sure there are no programs running in the background.

Hi!
When I try to patch my CtP II v1.0 to v1.1, the install program says it can't run since my OS is using the wrong language.
I run Windows 98 v4.10.1998 (Swedish edition) and on my CTP2 CD it says "Call to Power II, Made in EU, Activision, 30013.101.UK" (the game is in English).
Are there anyone who can help me?

I made a mistake in wartime of conquering too many cities, and I now have 52 under my control, whereas my recommended maximum is 45.
I need to stop fighting because it is making my citizens very unhappy, and I am also feeling very vulnerable because I am mobilising all my garrisoned units to help the war effort; so I decided to use recently captured cities as a bargaining tool in getting cease-fires signed.
However, the list of cities appears to be in chronological order, and the cities I wish to surrender, my most recent acquisitions, do not appear on the list. I have tried to scroll down, Page Down etc etc, but nothing seems to work.
All help appreciated

The only thing I can think of is RENAMING your city that you will remeber or like ROME1 with the number so you know when it was captured orr WRIGHTING it on a piece of paper and then looking for it.
Hope this helps.

The problem is not remembering the name, it is being able to offer the city over.
It does not appear on the list that comes up, so I can't offer it.

Yes, this would work if it were in alphabetical order, but the list is in chronological order. Almost all the cities on the list are my own created ones, or if not, then are central to my empire.
The new ones I have conquered, after years of bombing and missile bombardment, are small, insignificant and mostly long distances from my empire, and in the middle of enemy territory, so getting rid of them is an advantage anyway, until I can build up a stronger military to hold onto them.
I can't disband them because they are too large; I have toyed with the idea of starving them to death until they reach size 3, but they are too valuable a bargaining tool for me to do that.

Hello All,
I just bought CivII yesterday and tried installing it on my system. When I go to play the game, the screen first changes to black, then switches back to the desktop and minimizes, a couple of seconds later I get a "Illegal Operation" error by windows and the game shuts down.
I've installed DirectX 8.x and WinMedia Player in the hopes that this would help, but no dice. This is really frustrating considering I just paid $70.00 Can for the game. Please help whoever can.
Thanks

This was, to say the least, extremely helpful. Thanks a million.
One question though. How did you know what Ctrl-G did?

"CTRL-g" is printed on the back cover of the CTP II manual listing keyboard shortcut keys.
Like everyone else, I was trying to figure out the science victory. Just for added info, in my game I built 37 satellites and 46 obelisks (on a large map) and still only got an effective radius of 8 from the obelisks. I trtied building more than 10 controllers but the game only recognizes the first 10 and the extras don't seem to help. You can put obelisks, just as with any other public work, in any ALLIED territory as well as your own. I "discovered" that late in the game, and would have been helpful building my road networks seeing as I had 2 Allies.

On the tech chart it says it gives $500. Is this a one time boost? in the great library all it says it gives the host empire a cash influx. I took that as every turn. I built it once and seemed to only get $500 and thats it. Not worth the time to build in my opnion.
Am I right or wrong?
