Call to Power 2 To Get Open Sourced?

Posted by simoniker on Sunday July 27, 2003 @06:43AM from the call-to-code-freedom dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Winnie Lee (st_swithin), who did the GUI programming for CTP2, has announced at Apolyton Civilization Site that Call to Power 2 should become available as open source in the near future. She says the news comes 'straight from the horse's mouth', as well as the lead, network, and gamestate programmers. This ends a month-long hunt and negotiation for the code with Activision." This looks close to a done deal, and is excellent news for strategy gamers and fans of this Civilization-related title if everything comes through.

There is a native Linux port made by Loki. I actually have it, it comes with the expansion set too. Its not free software/open source though.
