HUGE Colonization fan here! I am so very excited reading this Yippee!! I am staring at my original Colonization box sitting on my bookshelf... Wonder if I can get it to work on my current computer~



I do remember Colonization getting some flak over the fact that you killed a lot of Indians in the game. Wonder if that will come up again?

Cool ~ Okay, not so cool... Just opened up my Colonization box and, you guessed it... 3.5 Floppies... My new computer doesn't have a 3.5 drive

Hmmm.. Wonder if I bought the cd version of the game at some point.. Will have to delve into the Big Box O' Games in the closet...

This absolutely restores my faith in the game manufacturers! I thought we would end the year without anything new (sorry civrevolution fanatics) for the 'thinking' player!

Some of the screenshots are quite interesting also...

Good Job Firaxis!!!!

Now I wish I could be a beta tester for THIS game!

What does the power icon in the Dutch city on the screenshot mean? Is Ben playing with kites again?

Probably a placeholder icon.

So is this what they needed new testers for?

I wonder if it would be possible for some enterprising modder to port these enhanced graphics back to the original Civ IV?

And I don't wonder that Take Two would use big stick to sanction such thing.

As Col fan nbr 3. I'm very happy - The news that's been waited for.

Preorder - where?
(Only problem is Civ4 engine - I've just don't like CivIV - it aint fun)

graphics != gameplay

As far as I know, they plan on sticking pretty close to the original Col game play, just add new graphics to it. I think this is the main reason this is called stand alone expansion and not Col2.

Civ4 engine means that it will be graphically similar to Civ4, probably have an overall similar interface and system requirements, etc. - not that it will play anything like Civ4.
