I loved the Ctp, and I think I'm gonna love the second one as well!

Here are some Q's about the new one.

1.Is it the same system as in the first one with the farmers, workers, scientists? That you'll place one farmer on a tile and it'll produce some food, production, and gold.

2. Are there any new gouverment forms?

3.Is there an option in the multiplayer mode so you can play it simulatiously?

4.How huge are the maps?

5.When is it released in Europe?

gathering of resources is now automatic - the people in the city affect the efficiency of the gathering and the size of the map zone used.

2. Are there any new gouverment forms?

No, but they have been changed - don't know yet how, though.

3.Is there an option in the multiplayer mode so you can play it simulatiously?

Yes, but no PBEM (play by e-mai) or hotseat. There are threads on these issues...

4.How huge are the maps?

"Gigantic" is 70*160 or something alike.

5.When is it released in Europe?

By the beginning of december, but maybe sooner.

No System has changed. St Swithin Designer at Activision has written a column about this topic. Search around a bit.

As CtP1 I guess though I am not sure.

The german official said early december for the german version. Thats about 2 weeks.

Btw, take a look at this. Maybe this answers more questions you have. note: it is the Q&A from the chat I did.
