Civilization: Call to Power was revolutionary for its time. Not everyone fully appreciated the new playing mechanics, and the interface can be far from intuitive in places. However, CTP clearly overcomes any flaws to become a fun and very-playable game. Unlike most other Civilization games, the future era doesn't feel like an afterthought, tacked on for those players who haven't gotten bored yet. Like any Civilization game, real estate becomes more and more valuable throughout the course of a game. However, in CTP, future technology changes everything: after the right research projects, entire cities can be constructed on the ocean floor or in geosynchronous orbit. Space Fighters can leave the atmosphere to make a long trek into a single-turn one. Multi-legged troop transports scuttle across the sea floor to invade rival undersea cities. Swarm troops drop from orbit into a freshly-nuked city. All in all, Call to Power is a very engaging experience.
