Civilization: Call to Power Ships

Activision's highly anticipated Civilization: Call to Power is shipping to retailers in the US and Canada for US$49.95. New features of the latest Civ title to hit shelves include controlling armies and civilizations from their early beginnings up to their more-than-mature science-fiction future of 3000 AD.

Your goal is nothing less than world domination or cloning alien DNA. On the way there, you'll build the Wonders of the World, create new technology, and construct the building blocks of law. And your choices will either make your civilization a new Garden of Eden or a tyrannical motherland.

The latest Civ also brings advanced governing tools, better graphics-enhanced combat, diplomacy, and trade options. Other new features of the game include the ability to build orbital space colonies or oceanic empires, along with new attacks like economic, propaganda, biological terrorism, and religious conversion.

Looks like Civilization is gaining more complexity, and considering all the addictive gameplay in previous versions of the game, gamers will undoubtedly flock to the latest installment.
