	Ol' Ras gets CtP2 Tired of ads?

Yeah, I have finally decided to buy CtP2. I just won an online auction for a complete retail copy of CtP2, so I'm about to join the club of CtP2 players. Maybe not as actaive as the rest, but it will be nice to get a chance to play it. The price wasn't too bad either as my winning bid was 4 €.

Now I just need to get it home.

Get the mods! Specially the apolyton Pack (Fans patch). So that the AI can give you some challenge

Later get Cradlle and Goodmod

You'll soon understand that the mods are very necessary Great game, but as Pedrunn said you'll soon realize that the "vanilla" AI isn't a challenge in the least.

Yes, I've understood that. Especially the AI seems to be an issue.

* Rasbelin wonders when Loc will hit with his CtP2 evangelisation.

Thats the way to go Checking out how the game is to themsee what we have improved/changed.

Specially, if you are not one of those CTP2-sucks-for-no-reason-and-I will-just-play-it-to-check-how-bad-it-is kind of guys.

Don't forget that CTP2 is 'different' from the usual CIV. If you need help, come and visit us

In that case I would have downloaded an illegal copy of it, rather than hunt for a complete CtP2 boxset which is in good shape.

I'm quite sure you will enjoy the game, all in all, you've been under the brainwashing of a CtPer such as myself recently.

Get Super Apolyton Pack first, it doesn't add stuff too complex to the game, but will give you a nice challenge. Then, if you feel tempted, you try the other mods too .

Wasn't it more like AoM brainwashing?

Don't worry. I was yesterday very tempted to buy it when I saw AoM Collector's Edition in the store shelf.

Thanks for the hint!

Actually I have bought CtP at eBay UK, but I haven't yet received it from the lad in England.

The mailman ringed the doorbell about an hour ago and handed over to me a copy of CtP2. However I must admit that what must have looked more amusing was me. I assume I looked like a mixture of Einstein, Groucho Marx and Mr. Bean as I had just woke up.

Anyway, on to the actual boxset. Everything seems to have been included. Even that little advert by Saitek. However the disc is slightly scratched, so I have to make a backup (which is fully legal). The techmap looks as torn as my Civ II techmap.

Already downloaded the 1.1 patch, so now I only need to install and patch it.

Haa... Ras has joined the late-comers club too ... . Yep, I also found this game at the end of the last year. At first it was strange but fun game. Now it's only fun
