  • Your colonization civ of choice

    I allowed multiple so you could vote for more than one if you aren't sure or think there's a tie.

    I think it's clearly not France and likely not Spain, but I'm having a hard time deciding between the English and Dutch.

      I like playing the english (quick colonization) and the dutch (bigger&faster ship in the beginning).

        not an easy one..............

        I lie that the English got a much higher immigrant (emmigrant) rate.

        The Dutch got a far more stable home-market.

        The rest I hardly ever used. Except the Spanish, when I was just playing Invader

        Can't remember the french........what was their special treaty?

          I rely on the immigrants. Population = power in this game.

            Yeah...the English were powerful. Those immigrants just kept coming, and you could build up a powerful nation easily.

                English was too easy at Beginning

                      English and Dutch most of the time, you could really get a good colony going with the English, and the Dutch economy was really good for raising armies.

                      On an off day id play the Spanish, and kill every native I could set eyes on .. which was profitable .. for a while, until they all were dead.

                        It's available on a source that has only the letters K A and Z in its name...

                        I bought it a long time ago but I lost my disc.

                          Are they nuts ?!?!?!?!?!?

                          Such an old game and so much money..............didn't they realise that the world has turned already a couple of years?????????????

                              i had my best games with the spanish when i got lucky and managed to get some good soldiers, or cannons early along with a galleon. for consistancy both the english and dutch are good but overall i like the english a bit better.
