Civilization: Call to Power

Civilization: Call to Power is a 4X turn-based strategy game, based on the 1980 Hartland Trefoil board game Civilization. The players control a civilization and lead it to supremacy over the others, involving diplomacy and warfare alike. Technologies are researched over time, allowing for ever more advanced buildings, units and wonders. Trading resources, commodities, maps and technologies is also possible, as well as espionage and crippling enemies' production through legal action. City improvements require a special resource - public works - which is gathered passively at customizable rate, at the expense of the denizens' happiness.

Unlike most similar games of this genre, the game spans a wide time span from the stone age, through the contemporary times and further into a hypothetical future. Futuristic technologies include colonies under the sea and in the planet's orbit, the latter involving a separate layer of the game map. The game can end by either eliminating all other players who are not in the same alliance, by discovering and replicating alien life with the help of a wormhole sensor, or by having the highest score by the year 3000 AD.

An enhanced DVD-ROM version was also released, featuring higher-resolution cutscenes and Dolby Surround support.
