I have been waiting for Civilization: Call to Power for a very long time since I'm a great fan of Civilization. Yesterday when I bought the game I was very enthusiastic but when I started the game I was very saddened.
The game seem to be extremely good but the mouse sensitivity is awful. Due to my disability I cannot move the mouse long distances so I'm depending on the fact that the pointer can be moved pretty fast and usually this isn't a problem. But in Call to Power the pointer move extremely slow and I have a hard time working the pointer around. Setting the mouse sensitivity on fastest in windows doesn't change anything and the only solution is to play on lower graphical settings which isn't satisfactorily. My hope is that I have missed something essential and that the mouse sensitivity can easily be changed so that I can play Call to Power otherwise I have bought it in vain. Please advise.

Hi Z.
Please send me e-mail at civilizat...@activision.com and let me know exactly what brand of mouse, driver, and system you have. I'll try to help.

Is it me, or was that a huge publicity grabbing attempt? Surely a direct reply would have been easier, although of course that wouldn't have made Activision sound like such great people. ____________________________________________________ Chris ____________________________________________________

It's just you. What is wrong with that reply?

Yeah, okay it I was just me I guess. Just that overactive cynicism of mine again. And possibly the 6 cans of Coke I had previously but I doubt it. Without people like me The X-Files wouldn't exist, so really you need me. And did Activision pay you guys to say that?.... ____________________________________________________ Chris Manics According To Homer -http://freespace.virgin.net/graham.allan/manics ICQ: 10069666 ____________________________________________________
