Call to Power II (Apolyton Edition)

WIN

The Apolyton community edition of the Call to Power II source code that Activision published (the version without the patch), imported from SVN into Git. The code lost its comments, but according to the README it is complete as far as Activision’s code goes; it was built with Visual Studio 6.0 and has been modified to build with later versions. It builds on Windows and Linux (i386 and x86_64, and also Ubuntu, Pandora, and Pyra) as a 32- or 64-bit program with SDL2, and legacy DirectX builds remain on Windows for comparison. The repository includes the code, data (ctp2_data), and scenarios that came with that publication, but not the commercial release’s game files. Its latest release, from January 20, 2025, offers installers for Windows (a zip) and Linux (a .deb); the Linux version doesn’t support the CD, so the music and videos are installed separately. 64 of its last 100 commits list Claude as a co-author.

You needYour own copy of Call to Power II, from CD or GOG: from the CD’s civmain.ctp and civlang.ctp files (which are zips) or the app folder of the GOG installer you copy the missing files over the repository or the installed game, without replacing existing ones. On Linux, the CD edition’s music and videos have to be installed separately. Plus Windows or Linux.
