I played ctp2 for about a week and said thats it, just another civ game with the same crap as before, its old news. I can see why ctp2 is not doing the best as this board is also flopping its because civ games are getting old and boring, we need something new. I just found the newest civ game that herralds a new era for histrical strategy civ games, called europa universalis, www.europa-universalis.com check it out you might love it. i just got the game and it ROCKS. mark you have got to add this game to your forum because it is the new type of civilization game that brings in a new era of historical strat games, this is the biggest thing since civ first came out 10 years ago.
ctp2 tried but failed, oh well

There's an E. U. thread in the other games forum here.
Also there's a dedicated E.U. forum at Civgaming.net (follow the link in my sig.)

I've had EU now for about 4 days, played almost through the entire weekend, and IT'S MUCHO FABULOSO!!!
Ok, there is a bit of a learning curve, but I guess that for regular Civ/CtP players like all you it shouldn't pose too much of a problem. Well, apart from the RTS element. To alay some of your fears: the pause really pauses. Dead stop! Handy for when a lot is going on.
In all, go to the CGN forums (or the ones on www.europa-univeralis.com) and read all about it.
O, and spend your well-earned cash on it, it's definitely worth it.

Ribannah, could you please expand on that, since I don't know what you mean?

I think the provinces are divided to be able to cover most of the historical borderlines of any one country...

The netherlands are called Holland bacause of something called pars-pro-toto
which is latin for part-for-all
or in other words, you refer to a part a something when you're talking about the whole. Kind of like you call someone a *****.
For a long time, Holland was the most inportant part of the netherlands, so people say Holland when they mean the netherlands.
as for the germany thing.
Every country bordering on germany has a name for that country that is not translatable to any other language. contrary to belgium for example. Belgium is the country of the angry people (in old dutch, to be belgian, or "gebelgd" was to be angry) every language refers to belgium as the country of the angry people (italian: belgio, dutch: belgie, french: belgique, english: belgium) but this isn't true for germany.
the reason is that gemany is a recent political union. So every language refers to germany by refering to the tribe (or previous political entity) that originally bordered their language area:
denmark bordered the tysk tribe: tyskland
France bordered the allemanen tribe: allemagne (sp)
England never border germany, but they refer to the first known german tribe: the germans
Belgium and the netherlands bordered the Deutche tribe: Duitsland
The same goes for the Polish and Czechic names but they escape me for the moment
clear now?  cause i'm getting confused myself

Explain why it's called Németország in hungarian, then.
