SUCCESSION GAME!
(26 March 2001, 16:03 EST/CtP2) Probably the most recently discovered way to play a civ game has been "copied" from the civ2 forums to the ctp2 ones. The first ctp2 succession game will start on April 1st, with 6 people playing the same civ in the same game in turns(each player playing 20 turns). For more information, especially if you want to join in, see the related forum thread.

WHAT DO YOU WANT IN SMAC2?
(26 March 2001, 15:56 EST/SMAC) Since Civ3 is going to soon be a reality, it's probably time to start dreaming of something else: SMAC2!

So, what could be added in a SMAC2? Should it be a return to Earth? Or a colonization of a new planet, while being able to play at Alpha Centauri at the same time? Give your ideas at the forum!

CURSORS, ADVANCE IMAGES, FIXMOD
(27 March 2001, 0:21 EST/CtP2) Three new files in the CTP2DB today

CTP Advance Images for CTP2 (All CivCTP advance pictures. These images allow you to change the CTP2 age background of most advance pictures)

Collection of Cursors (A collection from ACS combined in one zip file)

Fix Mod (This mod is not a real mod but more like a patch that Activision should have made, it corrects some errors that are possible to correct without changing the source code of the .exe itself)
