Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization is the third offering in the Civilization IV series. A re-imagining of the classic Colonization strategy game Sid Meier created in 1994, Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization is a total conversion of the Civilization IV engine into a game experience in which players will lead a European nation on their quest to colonize and thrive in the New World. Players will be challenged to guide their people from the oppressive motherland, discover a New World, negotiate, trade and fight as they acquire great power and battle for their freedom and independence. Features: - Classic Game Design: The strategy classic is rebuilt with improved visuals, while retaining the addictive gameplay and fun that are synonymous with Sid Meier games.
- Establish a New Nation: Play as the English, Spanish, French or Dutch and journey to a brave new world in search of freedom from your oppressive homeland.
- Detailed Tutorial: Enhanced tutorial helps both fans of Colonization and new players on their way to ruling the New World.
- Multiplayer Offers Tons of Replay: Compete with friends from all over the world via the Internet and "Play by Email" modes or compete locally via the Hotseat and LAN modes, offering multiple ways to conquer the New World.
- Improved Diplomacy: Sustain peace and support your followers as you engage in advanced negotiations with natives, other colonists and the hostile homeland. Trade resources, gold and land as you build the foundation for a self sufficient and powerful colony.
- Historical Figures Provide Adaptive Gameplay: Acquire founding fathers such as John Smith, Patrick Henry and Samuel Adams who will help guide your nation to freedom based on your gameplay style.
- Mods and Community Tools: Players will have limitless options for modifying the game to suit their needs. Game includes modding tools including a map editor using XML and Python.
- New Interface: Both Civilization IV fans and players new to the series will feel right at home with an interface that's been built to be accessible and easy to navigate.

If you loved the original Colonization, you will love this one more. November 11, 2008 Lynn Moorhead (San Antonio, Texas USA) As a fan of the original Colonization, I always wondered why they never built a sequel or had any type of continuation to the game... well with this release I am pleased to say that Sid Meier and Firaxis have done an outstanding job of remaining true to the original game while significantly enhancing the game with improved graphics on the CIV-4 Engine. For those of you who like playing with the game settings to allow your cannons &/or other pieces to move more than one space, this is still contained in a file that can be modified to play with these settings. Most of the code seems to be contained in XML and Python, but it isn't difficult to figure out if you like messing with this stuff. The game itself has a very high replay factor, though I will advise with High Graphics settings, and if you manage to take over the whole world with lots of pieces in play, you may experience some significant delays in processing a round, but I still consider this game worth every penny.
good game ! like usual. November 11, 2008 Thibaut Maillet (dayton, OH USA) very good game. the new interface is really nice. Only negative point : very hard to win the game. king army is really strong
