  • How about a Colonization section?

    Is there much interest in this? I have listened to several people in the "other games" and the "civ2 general" forums declare it to be a better game than the original civilization.
    It qualifies for apolytonship as MOO and MOO2 don't because of it's relationship to civilization. Colonization is to Civilization as Alpha Centauri is to Civilization II. A kind of mini sequel of sorts.
    I would love to come here and see Civilization and Colonization listed under the "Oldies" on the main page.

    But I don't know what it would take. What can we all do?

    I was just about to point out that Horsie is simply making excuses in advance for why he will suck at Civ III...

    Finally, another supporter for Colonization.
    While we are at it; how about an Alpha Centauri II section for ideas for ACII?

        BTW, I don't mean to support a civ1 or colonization forum, I realize that it's old and wouldn't have much steam, but it would be good to have some resources like we have with civ1

              Certainly judging from the recommendations I asked for in other games, Colonization is a clear winner. A "Great Library" for Colonization would be a great idea.

                      It's a very good game for sure, but what's there to discuss?

                        Oh I remember Colonization. I can't find my CD but I have managed to get it emailed to me. It will be like reliving past memories. Now I will have to have a game of the original Civ at some point as well

                          You could discuss ideas about the sequel;
                          I have at least 3 at the top of my head; and if more were yanked out I would probably be able to fill a forum.
