Call to Power II is a 4X turn-based strategy game released in November 2000 as the final game internally developed by Activision. It dropped the Civilization prefix as a result of a licensing dispute with MicroProse in the late 1990s.
The game received a single official patch post-release. In 2003, the developers publicly released the game's source code, which resulted in community projects improving the game. The most prominent such project is the Apolyton CTP2 Edition, which has become the most common way of playing the game.
