Call to Power II Prepares to Conquer the PC Landscape

Call to Power II represents a new chapter in the history of the empire building genre," said Parker Davis, senior producer, Activision Studios. "The game blends classic themes and play styles of the empire building genre with improvements in pacing, balance, and combat. Innovations in city growth and management, more powerful diplomacy and trade, and unique AI personalities provide even greater strategic depth and immersion." Expanding upon the well-established gameplay of Civilization: Call to Power, Call to Power II offers several new diplomatic options for budding emperors. To help in their bid for world domination, players will be able to send proposals and counter proposals to neighboring nations to create strategic and economic alliances. A player's diplomatic strategy will play a large role in the development of their empire, as enemy states will survey the diplomatic landscape before attacking or forming their own alliances. Players can also win the game by uniting the various empires and sustaining a world-wide alliance. For gamers who prefer diplomacy by other means, combat in Call to Power II has been redesigned for greater realism and better gameplay. Units now have armor and damage attributes in addition to traditional attack and defense scores, creating a greater balance for the units across the ages. Also, combined arms will play a much larger role in combat. Players who diversify their armies into the three principal unit types, melee, flanking and ranged, will now receive a higher relative rating in combat than a larger army comprised of less diverse units. Additionally, unconventional warfare rules have been modified to give the player more options.
