    I thought Microprose no longer existed; weren't they bought by Atari or something?

      I recall that when Firaxis bought the rights to Pirates! a while back, it was part of a package that included Colonization.

        "THE" plus "IRS" makes "THEIRS". Coincidence? I think not.

          Just looking a the ColToo project. It looks like they could use some guidance. As I see it, they don't even have a design document. Pretty hard to do anything without that.

          Im not sure what Baruk Khazad is , but if they speak Judeo-Dwarvish, that would be "blessed are the dwarves" - lord of the mark

            Isn't the file by Rock Wagondriver in the new sticky thread there a design document?

              Indeed it is. Just read. If they ever get around to implementing all that stuff, this is one game I'll definately play.

              They could do with some artists, though.

                They could do with some fixed parameters for artists to work with, although putting the cart before the horse does seem pretty central to the project's approach...

                  He should send death threats to Sid saying he's gonna die real soon if they don't start working on Colonization II.

                    I fail to see the greatness of Colonization or the need for a sequel. Granted I haven´t played it much, but still...

                      Personally, I find the time period to be particularly appropriate to the whole 'build-cities-to-achieve-economic-and/or-military-dominance' theme of the Civ genre. Ending the game with a war for independence also is a lot more satisfying than any of the more specious victory conditions in Civ.

                        I can't wait for this game as Colonization was a favorite of mine back in the day.

                          While Colonization was enjoyable, what I´d really like to see is a combination between SMAC/X and Civ III. That would truly be the greatest game in history!!

                          But if Colonization II becomes a reality, I´ll check it out nevertheless

                            Firaxis is currently doing an inquiry about which old title should get a sequel:
                            "The world is too small in Vorarlberg". Austrian ex-vice-chancellor Hubert Gorbach in a letter to Alistar [sic] Darling, looking for a job...
                            "Let me break this down for you, fresh from algebra II. A 95% chance to win 5 times means a (95*5) chance to win = 475% chance to win." Wiglaf, Court jester or hayseed, you judge.
