Colinization: I WANT A NEW VERSION

[Toturi II]

Colinization!

I would like to start a forum of discussion about the old Dos game colinization.

First off, I love this game. It provides both the military and ecconomic models for the time period sort of, but it also provides a kind of fresh approach to time period. I loved it for it little bit of education on the indians "even though it was generalized", and the various "settlers" you could use and develop.

That along with the fight against the crown. I loved the game. I just have one thing though....

WHEN WILL THERE BE A COLINIZATION 2!! I have soo many ideas! I just wish Sid would get working on it!!!

Anyway my 2 cents....keep talkin...mabye we can muscle him into doing it!

They should fix Civ3 first.

I'd like a new version too. I enjoyed the gameplay of building up and preparing for the eventual revolution. I played the game a few time over the summer, and still enjoyed it, although it was very slow loading up.

there is already a forum for this, and this topic has been regurgitated to death.....as much as i would like to see a new colonization as well

check in the civ1 section, or classic games...or something like that, you will see tons of topics on coloniztation.

[Traianvs]

colonization was a bit too hard for me... i could never get a good production going

i was good at civ2 though!

[Comrade Tribune]

I agree, Colonization 2 would be a great idea.

But I don´t trust Firaxis with it. I´d hope someone else does Colonization 2, as well as CivIV...

Actually we have the Colonization II project that aims at producing an alternative sequel to the old Colonization game by Sid and MicroProse. I suggest you have a look at this very dedicated project.

No. I'm not working on a SMAC clone. Touché! You can check the Freeciv SMAC clone project's website and notice that my name isn't mentioned there.

However I'm working with Stella Polaris right now, among with a bunch many other developers like Blake. Feel free to visit the StP forum here on ACS Forums for more details.

As for mentioning the Col II project, I feel fully entitled to mention it as IMO it looks promising and as a pro alternative game development person I felt that this project (much better known down at CGN) warrants to be mentioned.

Colonisation had the most catchy music of any game I had played at the time........and it was a great game.

I concur. I want a Colonization 2 as soon as humanly possible, with the caveat that it is not buggy, rushed, or lacking multiplayer features.

Here here!

Colonization was superb. I downloaded it recently and was pleasantly surprised that it ran on my modern PC. More enjoyable than Civ2, even.

[Ozz]

I still play colonization, it's never left my harddrive.

I'd be happy if just the combat was fixed.

[War4ever]

i dont' know if i would say its better than civ2...it was fun, but not very difficult...

a combo of civ and col would make for a great game...at least they got the trade model down
