• There is a bug in CTP v1.0 (as is found on the CD-ROM) where the install script is not executable. You must therefore run "sh ./install" to execute the script.

# sh ./install

• This is the first screen that pops up.

• Where do you want to install the game?
  I made a new partition and mounted it as "/opt". The dialog shows all of the mounted partitions, and how many MB are currently available. The button on the top of the dialog box allows you to install the extra 217MB of MPEG videos.

• Various snapshots during the install:
  • Settler - The Settler is the unit used to build new cities on land.

  • Fire Trireme - A Fire Trireme can transport a single unit, but it has (essentially) a flame thrower which can be used to attack/defend the boat.

  • Televangelist - The modern age Cleric. Can convert cities (sends gold to your civilization), sell indulgences (raises the happiness in enemy cities, but you get gold), and soothsays (lowers happiness in enemy cities).

  • Crawler - A unit which can transport 5 land units underwater.

  As is typical with a Windows-based application installation, the background of the installation changes as the percent installed increases. These snapshots show several concept drawings of different units. (The units become more advanced as the installation progresses.)

• Create symlinks?

  The CTP installation can create symlinks for you in any of various standard locations (/usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, etc.) The installation application seems to run through all directories in your PATH environment variable, plus some other standard ones. I suggest that you choose "No to all" and create a symlink manually if you wish. There have been some problems with the automatic creation.

• That's it, you're done!

Since the CTP v1.1 patch is now available, you should just go ahead and install it right after installing CTP. I downloaded the patch from Loki and placed it in the /tmp directory.

# cd /tmp
# tar zxf CivCTP-1.1-x86.tar.gz
# cd /tmp/CivCTP-1.1/
# ls
CivCTP	 README   upgrade  xdelta

• The upgrade script requires that the install directory (where CTP 1.0 was installed) be given as the only parameter. (If you run the script without specifying the directory, it will prompt you for it.)

# ./upgrade /opt

Would you like to read the README for CivCTP 1.1?  [Y/n] 

• If you choose "Yes", the upgrade script will either run Netscape (if possible) (displays README file), or will run "more README.txt" otherwise.
  • Note: The README file has at least one "external" link.
  • I really like "Feature Change #44". Now, in CTP v1.1, using a Nuke against an enemy civilization is considered an act of war. Perhaps before it was just an unfriendly greeting?

=============================================================
Thank you for upgrading to Civilization : Call To Power 1.1
Type '/opt/CivCTP/civctp' to play.

Enjoy the enhancements!!!           -- The Loki CivCTP Team
=============================================================

• Now that CTP and the CTP patch has been installed, it is a good time to start up the game and play the tutorial to get used to how CTP works. To start the game, simply run "civctp" out of the installation directory. The tutorial can be found off of the main menu.
