Chapter 22 . Gaming Alone and Online 589 The following sections describe a few games that may still be available. Again, these games may not be available for long. Civilization: Call to Power You can build online civilizations with Civilization: Call to Power (CCP). Like earlier versions and public spinoffs (such as the Freeciv described earlier in this chapter), Civilization: Call to Power for Linux lets you explore the world, build cities, and manage your empire. The last version offered by Loki Games includes multiplayer network competition and extensions that let you extend cities into outer space and under the sea. If you like Freeciv, you will love CCP. Engaging game play is improved with enhanced graphics, sound, and animation. English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish versions are available. Freeciv is dependent on the Open Sound System for audio support. The Open Sound home page (www.opensound.com/osshw.html) has a list of supported sound cards, mostly older devices. If you do not have a card that s on the list, you may be unable to enjoy the audio. The CCP demo comes with an excellent tutorial to start you out. If you have never played a civilization game before, the tutorial is a great way to start. Figure 22-7 shows an example scene from the Civilization: Call to Power for Linux demo. Figure 22-7: Civilization: Call to Power features excellent graphics and network play. Myth II: Soulblighter If you like knights and dwarves and storming castles, Myth II: Soulblighter for Linux might be for you. In Myth II, you are given a mission and some troops with various skills. From there, you need strategy and the desire to shed lots of virtual blood to meet your goal. Note
