Introduction Movie Call to Power

[pajarolocu]

best intro civ video ever!

[Henners1991]

It's a pity that the AI are so shit.

[Tomaniahailhynkel]

2:30 the nazis did win the war lol

[Sam178888]

@Tomaniahailhynkel the video only goes to 2:22

[Tomaniahailhynkel]

@Sam178888

sry i mean 1:30

[TTOTheTrueOne]

Kind of fucked up to put an authentic 1985s tank "Leopard 2 A5" in a World War 2 scenario. Even for a fictional (but still nice) intro.

[gosherzful]

This game is probably also my favorite Civ game, likely because it lets you go all the way to the year 3000. Alpha Centauri (and Alien Crossfire) are a close second, however. Civ 4 just doesn't feel the same - though there are things I like about it. I dislike Civ 3, however.

[LithuanianLabas]

It seems most people here like this game better because it lets you go into the future.

Might I suggest Sid meyers Alpha Centauri?

Basicly it picks up after you complete the space victory in any of the civ games.

Its also in my opinion the greatest turn based game ever.

Just pirate it if you dont want to buy it.

[forgottenodyssey]

@LithuanianLabas That's not in the proper way of things. GTFO unless you understand things better.

[platonicgamer]

i loved this game.I still play it today - i love playing through to the year 3000 and using future technologies and build spaceships and war walkers and tan my opponents ass lol

[MickJayZ]

First time I played the game I wondered if the leader was actually immortal, was the fact that the guy in charge always looks the same somehow supposed to be symbolic/indicating continuity, or whether hey didn't have the budget/didn't bother to make another model ;)

[coconoutpig]

i think it simobolyces "you" playing the game and what you go truh sorry my english isnt that good :P

[MetallSwede]

I love the Call to Power series :) .. but in a way, Call to power ruined civilization for me when the timeline was expanded beyond our own time. Don't get me wrong, I love to play in the future :) .. but now I won't accept Sid Meier's original games because they seem so limiting to me, ending development when you get to the present ^^ .. that's how screwed up call to power has made me :D ... you should basically either play one or the other ^^

[Epoq]

@MetallSwede That's a good indication of how awesome this game is. Now I can't be bothered to play any of the traditional Civilization games because I love going from an ancient civilization to modern to a future space colonizing ocean dwelling civilization. It's just too awesome.

[logicpwnsemotion]

@MetallSwede If you prefer to play after the present and like the gameplay mechanics of civilization you will be happy to know that civ 4 has a plethora of ingame mods (That come with the CD and actually have alot of thought put into them) specifically for gameplay after modern age such as Next war,Final Frontier, And Planetfall ( not included on CD )

[BaronGrackle]

So, basically, this civilization is a variation of France? :-)

[Umprella]

Could be. Starts off as a Roman province, then it gets all medieval (with Notre Dame and all), then it gets invaded by Germans.

[Brian91506]

on the soldier's shoulder

[Brian91506]

hey at 1:28 look closely is that a swatstika. Well for me it kind of looks like one

[ehteht43]

actually I think thats the flag with the civilization symbol on it.

[aisbboti]

yes it is one... the fact that before it is shown Hitler is giving a speech even proves it.... well .... it was a part of history

[Ironman1o1]

I think its just a X

[Scottyphoenix42]

It's a lightning symbol, like on the tank.

But I think anybody can get the allusion...

[forgottenodyssey]

@Brian91506 dude, it's a wheel-like design... not even close. Glasses much?

[GeneralSturnn]

Love this game!

[wildcatnl1337]

i love civilization intro's -.-

[cjdj237]

This game is the best! Love it! Now im getting the Civilization Revolution on 360, hopefully thats good.

[CommissarG]

Hey, did it ever occur to anyone that the future Civ shown at the end could be the future of the Nazi-esque conquerors? Brrrr....disturbing thought....

[MarioFanaticXV]

If such was the case, why did they adopt the symbol of the country they conquered?

[CommissarG]

Maybe the conquered country accepted their conquerors?

[dprebot]

Doubtful. In the future scene, you can hear an intercom announcer say, "this is the final call," etc, in English, whereas the conquering scene previously had German being spoken over the conquering.

[CommissarG]

Well someone was paying attention. Kudos.

[blackrob2001]

anyone have a clue why my opening movie on this game doesn't play it's just black.. also when i go to use the library in game it goes back to windows and shows an error twice then i go back and its up in game..? ?

[woryxx]

sometimes it was a problem if u had 32 bit settings, try to change them for for example 1024x768 16bit (not 32)

[jwrombel]

I'm struggling to understand how to play the game, i keep getting defeated within 5 minutes! anyone got ne tips? the closest thing i've played to this is command and conquer, it seems intense..politics, science, religion..it's all in here.

[06dogb]

You should try and build a lot of units while still trying to beat other civilizations to the wonders

[alfredthegr]

Just play the tutorial.

[mossadguy]

shivers

[Supenmanu]

LOL... you actually win the game by developing a technology that allows you to clone aliens and whose clones than replace humanity (that's actually how to win this game)... who the hell comes up with crap like that??? They had some decent programmers... but they would have better invested their money in some decent writers!

[Terring7]

Looks interesting :)

[dmist24]

yep! played this game also way back year 2000 and it hooked me up for almost a week and slept till 5am! i love watching there in-game videos.. Civilization games are so addictive!

[Blake198]

Microprose owned Activision in court, and allowed them to make it under certain conditions :) They obviously tried to rip Sid Meier's off

They had some nerve sueing Microprose in the beginning

[madcows10]

hehe stupid capitalist copyright patented greed, I say if a second party can take an original idea and truly make it more refined and enjoyable then have at it and best of luck.

[madcows10]

Oh and I think CTP and CTP2 are the best versions of Civilization style games to date. Even better than Civ 3..heck, even Freeciv is better than Civ 3.

[Icantcount123456789]

Ya, CTP was the only good one imo. What other game lets you venture to the 3000s and have orbiting space colonies?!

[alfredthegr]

Why was civ3 so bad?

[januszfcp]

that's a very good game, one of the best civilization !

[prometheus28]

I had my computer in summer 1999 and it was the first game I played on it. So many hours spent then ... I still play it now ... Awesome !

[saltandfinagar]

Best civilisation intro

[goguboy]

wow...i had played this game 5 years ago.... i want to play it again! awesome....

[davidmora123]

Muy emotivo este video, me gusta

[XtcPOWER]

easily one of the best games ever made

[EquusPL]

This game is awesome! Actually I became interested in it just because of this marvellous intro =) Then it turned out the game itself is great, too :) I still love it, even though it is over four years now since then...

[XtcPOWER]

yeh its a game for patience and intelligence its extremely addictive once u get into it and 2 player games can take foreva
