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.

1. Use it to improve freeciv
Oh yes, do that. Freeciv is terrible compared to the real thing. I still play the badly programmed crappilly skinned Civ1 originally designed for Win95 because it's better than Freeciv. Of course I'm weird like that. I despise all civilization games after the first one. So take my opinion with a grain of salt. ;)
