Why is CIV IV so modifiable? Simple: COLONIZATION

[Niptium]

No way man ! I want Colonization 2 to be it's own freakin' game.

I predict a sequel about dinosaurs!

Your cooccurance mentioned above is still not evidence of anything, interestingly, even *if* I am wrong.

I sense that there is no line of reasoning that could convince you.

I don't want Firaxis releasing an XPack that is Colonization. It would be a drastic disservice to the title. Ditto for SMAC. If fans want to creat those mods on their own, fine, but I don't want Firaxis doing a half ass job on a Colonization mod for Civ4 when they could make a better game

You might be underestimating the flexibility of the Civ4 foundation. That Quake4 is based on the Doom3 engine doesn't make it a lesser game.

Your example doesn't fit sophist.

[dearmad]

Nah, but your line of "reasoning" isn't convincing.

You guys aren't being very helpful. Why doesn't the example fit? Why isn't the reasoning convincing?

My guess is this:

Firaxis will release an "expansion pack" that will have a colonization mod (very extensive) that is basically COLONIZATION. Expect to pay (and rightly so) near full game cost for this. It'll include other goodies as well!

Someone else could make a Colonization mod as well. Of cource it woudln't be the same without the budget a firaxis can put into it. (IIRC firaxis owns the colonization name)
