(Revision 1097)
Fixed: The AI handles incursion permission correctly even directly after a
reload.
Fixed: The AI now ranks correctly its opponents by their strength.
Changed: If the visible player is a robot, then the displayed unit path is
those for robots, this is useful for AI testing.
Added: The inteligence window now shows opponent as very strong.
Added: The AI avoids danger on the way of its units.
Fixed: Games with a dead player in can be loaded again.
Fixed: The scenario editor generates goods even if no new game was created
during the active session.
Fixed: A memory leak in the AI code does not eat all the memory in the
system anymore, so that the game does not crash, because there is
no memory left.
Fixed: The wonder movies play again, without crashing the game.
Changed: The AI now conquers cities according to a global plan instead of
picking those first that are closest to most of its units.
Fixed: Upgraded units get room for cargo if the original unit had no cargo
and the upgraded unit should be able to carry cargo.
Added: Added Chinese text files.
Fixed: The AI uses transporters even if a target is on the same continet
but cannot reached, because for instance the way is blocked.
Fixed: The AI conqueres cities if it has a big stack adjacent to that city
representing 2/3 of the needed power. This is no problem since the
needed power is calculated with some buffer.
Changed: The AI gives for conquest higher priority to cities that have a land
connection to the existing AI empire.
Changed: The AI gives for conquest higher priority to cities of empires with
less than three cities.
Fixed: The minimap shows the diplomatic relationships correctly even if you
recenter the minimeap.
Changed: The AI prioritizes for conquest cities of its weakest enemy.

Play CTP2

Since it has become almost impossible to purchase Call To Power II at "real world" computer stores, the CTP2 Bureau now provides » links to online sources. You will find (and may contribute) information about mods in » Mod Doc

Language

Original Game

Even at online shops/marketplaces it might be impossible to obtain the program in every language. At the CTP2 Bureau you will also find » files and instructions needed to change the language of any installation of CTP2.

Apolyton Edition Translations

Call To Power II Apolyton Edition (currently in BETA stage) has been translated into a couple of languages - the files are included with the distribution. If you wish to play CTP2 AE only, you don't need the language files from this site - but you still need a legally purchased CD in any language to play the game.

Apolyton Edition Playtest

If you are playtesting CTP2 AE please remember to report your observations in the appropriate forum thread at Apolyton (look for the latest PROJECT: Playtest thread). If you experience crashes, please provide your crash.txt for debugging: To generate this file you need to find the entry EnableLogs in \ctp_program\ctp\userprofile.txt and set it to EnableLogs=Yes. If the game crashes you will find a crash.txt-file in the same folder. When reporting the crash in the forum providing the contents of this file is extremely useful for tracking down and fixing the bug.

Anyway with an unmodded game CTP2 AE already runs as good as or even better than the original Activision 1.11 patched version - most of the remaining issues are related to multiplayer/network functions and new modding features.
