Colonization 2?

[Fresno]

Colonization was the first game of Sid Meier I bought. That's now already years ago, and I still love the game (even more than Civ). Maybe many of you are not as enthusiastic as I am, but I guess there should be a market for Colonization II.

[Rex Little]

Yeah, I'd buy it. I still play the original on my DOS machine when my kid's tying up the Windows computer. Right now I'd like to find a version of Colonization for Windows that actually runs (unlike the one I downloaded from Underdogs).

[Father Beast]

I love colonization! the depth of the trade system is great. if only the windows version didn't crash on me all the time

I doubt it will be made, though...

There's no game like Colonization. It is propably the hardest TBS-game I've ever played; or then I really can't play that game very well. I've only managed to win the game on the second easiest level (don't remember - maybe Explorer). I may be doing something wrong, just wish I knew what it was

But if/when there is going to be colo2, then I want it!

[General Ludd]

Deffinately.

Infact, I had just dug it up and started playing it a couple days ago.


By the way, the windows version requires you to download wing32 in order to play it on win95+

[Fresno]

Everyone voted 'yes' so far

[Chris Wilkinson]

You'd buy it...but would you like to help make it?

sorry, i said no, the orinal was fine but at the end the micro management killed me! i never finished it because of that and the fact there was easily a best unit, unlike civ where at least there was defensive and atackers
if those were improved... yes

I would just like to second the invitation from Chris. Also check out the group's Col2 website at http://netzero.homestead.com/jd3star...col2index.html

Items that we are considering including are an expanded economic model, optional auto-management for colonies, and a more realistic terrain/biome/season system.

Micro-management? Which micro-management, ever played games of Sid before? No, what are doing in here? Yes, Civ is as much micro-management as Colo. Explain this stupidity, please.

I voted YES by the way!

I voted yes, though I must say I never really played Colo much, why not you ask, well it's not that the game wasn't ok, but the first time I could ever play it without it crashing all the time was a couple of months ago as I found it on some abondon games site. At that time I used Win me and played the game for about an hour and liked the concept of the game, but because of the old graphics for a game I never played before I just couldn't get addicted, that's why I would like to see a Colo 2

[Master Marcus]

I voted yes also I'm sure though they'll make SMACx II and/or something new before that. We'll see; but I prefer one great game in development instead of 3-4 average ones.

[tishco]

sorry about the fuss i caused but i only got it for the first time ever off abondonware AFTER being able to play SMAC civII etc but the cd drive broke and my p166 16mb ram was obselete...
then i loaded colonisation and civ I for the first time ever as a savior, and i was dissapointed....

[Sliparac]

I also played Colonization after Civ2, but I was pleasantly surprised with it so: Yes!

I would love to someone take another swing at Colonization. There were a few things I didn't like but overall the game was a lot of fun. And if Firaxis or someone else decided to do a game like Colonization it could be used to try out a ton of new TBS ideas without infringing on the Civ genre.
