	Is this board as dead as CTP2 Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

I noticed about 3 posts a day, I hope CTP2 boad isnt drying up and blowing away, the game will go with it.
I keep hoping Activision will put out another patch to fix the fatal crash bugs, I can send them a saved game or two the will crash when they end turn.
I was hoping that continued posting would make them reconsider no more patches. Guess I will have to uninstall the game and pull out Test of Time, hey that one is still on my hard drive.... go figure.

We're not drying up but working on the mods/maps/scenarios and thus don't have much to talk about until beta testing is going and most of that happens via email. Don't got back to ToT, it's done and this is the next great challenge... contribute, get involved... GET HOOKED

I've been wondering the same thing recently. It seems the 'normal gamers' (those that don't do modding) have disappeared.

I've got a more simple answer. I've just been too busy with work recently to be able to post/mod anything.

Oh, and being given Baldur's Gate II on saturday hasn't helped on the time stakes either. It's awesome!

BALDUR'S GATE II IS THE GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME(except for counter-strike). Right now I am in chapter 5, btw Dale, KILL YOSHIMO when you get the chance, he is a traitor(find out in chapter 4) also don't join Bhodi, She is really working for the final boss, join the thieves, they are the lesser of 2 evils,(story splits in chapter 3, where you have to decide to join some vampires or thieves)

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

I'm a "normal" gamer (i.e. normal in the sense that I just play the game and download mods from others). But playing on a slow machine between work and private life (yes I try to get one) doesn't really get games finished quickly. That, and me being a rubbish player, of course.

I'm still trying to read up on the Forums daily, and post annoying responses

But I may be the exception; of course, those who don't mod maybe don't think the game has a long attention-grabbing spell. Who knows?

I'll come back to CTP2, just wanna get through BG2 first.

BTW jkadabomb, DONT SAY ANYTHING! I'm still in chapter 2. Wanna finish all the quests before I pay the $15,000. Actually, I find Yoshi a good companion. Though I'll keep ya warning in mind. Yeah, I've already decided to join the thieves not the assasins. Oh yeah, in the Renal quest, did you do Edwin's sub-quest? I took it on then everyone started complaining and moaning so I cracked it and killed Edwin and got the key for Mae'vin's strongbox. Is that what you did?

Chris:
AoK is unreal mate. A great game. Get the expansion pack for it too if you haven't got it.

A lot of people, like myself, have other things in life besides computer games.

How about - unversity classes, campus organizations, full-time jobs/careers, families, hobbies, etc.

	Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

I can't speak for anybody else, but I have just stoped playing CTP2 .. and falled back to CIV2/TOT & SMAC .. I even played CTP1 recently, so I could play a hotseat game ..

To be quite frank .. I feel cheated .. and want little to do with CTP2 at the moment ..

A patch would of course change my mind !! but thats wishful thinking.

I too, have dug out my CtP1 to play PBEM. I'm still playing one game of CtP2, but it gets more boring each day. It's like playing an opponent who's not interested in the game.

Personally, I don't understand why somebody would want to spend 2 years talking in a forum about a non-existing product. But then again, I thought the 3 month wait for CtP2 was stretching it a bit and got a little old. The Civ3 forum does/did have a valid reason for being but it is a bit too much like a Civ-centric OT forum for my taste. Luckily for Apolyton, I am in the minority here so the Civ3 forums should keep going for quite a while.

	Suffering from ads?

I stopped looking at these forums a couple of weeks ago. Partly because I was on my honeymoon and partly because I stopped playing CTP2. I was pretty happy with my first game but while playing my second game I thought, "Ah, this is just like the first game." I really don't feel like playing anymore. I wonder if it's because CTP2 is dull or if it's just too similar to Civ2 which I played for a long time. I'm sure I will buy Civ3 when it comes out and I'm curious whether I will quickly tire of that like I did CTP2. Anyway, I'll probably see you all again when Civ3 comes out and I return to get lots of great information at Apolyton.

Hey Dale, Edwin gave me Mae'Vers key. He is probably the best mage in the game that you can get. Although he is evil. I am in chapter 7. Almost about to beat the game. I crushed the shadow dragon and fire dragon quite easily. Fire dragon gives you Holy Avenger +5. I got some awsome weapons, Silver Sword +5(AN AWSOME SWORD, KILLS TONS OF ENEMIES INSTANTLY, IN FACT PROBABLY HELPED ME DESTROY THE DRAGONS SO EASILY), Carsymor(holyavenger)+5, The Equilizer +5. To tell you the truth the dragons are pretty easy since they fight alone with no allies. Also I am going to get the Crom Faeyr, probably the best weapon in the game. And you need Keldorn to use the Holy Avenger +5(Carsymor +5) He is the only paladin in the game.

Dragon weapons suck so you'll want to get rid of them soon as you get better weapons anywyas. BTW Minsc and Edwin would work just fine in a party although they may argue alot.

Thats partly the point, with so many other good games CTP2 is just slowly being accepted as a loss and spending time on games that are good or Great. BG2, is an incredible game, I got combat mission for Christmas and its also an incredible game not to mention the good games, Crimson Skys, Sea Dogs, even Sim Coaster.
I absoulutly cant wait for CIV III as some one above said It will probably be the last chance for a good civ game. CTP3 wont happen and CIV IV will be 5 to 10 years down the road. Empire Earth although real time looks interesting, I hope they do that well. I still havent got to get past the 1900 era of CTP2. I must be doing something wrong, probably keeping my saved games to close to the current time, but I hate to go back and play 20 turns again and again, a couple of turns ok but then I get in the AI crash loop.

...or you could wait for the Mod wizards to work their magic, which should be sooner than that.
