Civilization 4: Colonization
1994 - 2008


Colonization
September dit jaar zal het vervolg op het bekende Colonization uit 1994 uitkomen. Het spel zal een stand-alone game zijn op basis van Civilization IV. Het is dus, "net als toen", te spelen zonder een versie van Civilization IV. Kortom; het is weer tijd voor ouderwets handelen in fur and rum, het bashen van inca's en het kussen van de pinky ring!

Overview
Announced on June 9th, 2008, Civilization IV: Colonization is a standalone expansion pack for the award-winning game Civilization IV. This game, a remake of the 1994 classic Sid Meier's Colonization, utilizes the Civ4 engine but does not require that any other previous Civ4 games (including the expansion packs) are installed. Thus, Colonization both incorporates some elements of standard Civilization IV gameplay while introducing some of its own. Some concepts from the 1994 version are also used to create a game with a balance of old and new.
Civilization IV: Colonization, like the classic, focuses on the European discovery and later colonization of the New World. Leading one of the major European powers, players will engage in diplomacy, exploration, trade, and, of course, warfare, as they struggle to dominate the newly found territories. Additionally, historical elements, like important people and revolutions, are also in place to create a realistic environment for players to control history and their countries' future.
