I'd rather we had both a Civ2 clone/ruleset and a FreeCiv
extension/ruleset. As for aiming for CTP - I for one consider it to be
inferior to Civ2 (and to Alpha Centauri, for that matter).

I really don't think the age of Civ2 is an issue. It's not Quake or some
other game that becomes outdated due to time passing. It's also very
good - better IMHO than either CTP or Alpha Centauri (the so-called
sequels).
