However, Sid Meier's stance was the the Civ name and property belonged to him. As a result, Civ Call to Power was made without Meier, Meir went on with Firaxis to make Alpha Centauri. Civ Call to Power as I understand it BOMBED in the retail market, and Alpha Centauri went on to be a big hit. Civ 3 is the Firaxis / Atari (Actually Firaxis / Infogrammes, as Atari's name is owned by them) project that sold wuite well and even made game of the year. Sid Meier has won his "Civilization" rights battle (I believe he has the official rights to make games based on the board game) and if I'm right he should be the one spearheading Civ 4.Call to Power did have a part 2, but I'm fuzzy on the details. Call to Power's interface was so UNLIKE the Civ 2 or Civ 3 Interface that I resold it immediately after playing it for about 2 days.</blockquote>
