'''''Civilization: Call to Power''''' is a [[turn-based strategy game]] developed by [[Activision]] for [[Microsoft Windows]] as an attempt to capitalize on the success of the ''[[Civilization (series)|Civilization]]'' computer games by [[Sid Meier]]. It was ported to [[Linux]] by [[Loki Software]], as well as [[BeOS]] by Wildcard Design, becoming one of the very few commercial games for that operating system.

A sequel, ''[[Call to Power II]]'', was released 18 months after the original. The sequel could not have "Civilization" in its title because Activision did not have a license for the "Civilization" name for a second game.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/call-to-power-ii-review/1900-2656251/|title=Call to Power II Review [date mislabeled as "May 17, 2006"]|last=Geryk|first=Bruce|date=November 20, 2000|website=GameSpot|publisher=CBS Interactive|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041211213643/http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/calltopower2/review.html|archive-date=December 11, 2004|url-status=live|access-date=May 9, 2021}}</ref>
