Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization is the third offering in the award winning Civilization IV series. A re-imagining of the classic Colonization game Sid Meier created in 1994, Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization is a total conversion of the Civilization IV engine into a game experience in which players will lead a European nation on their quest to colonize and thrive in the New World. Players will be challenged to guide their people from the oppressive motherland, discover a New World, negotiate, trade and fight as they acquire great power and battle for their freedom and independence.
Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization does not require the original Civilization IV game to play.
Classic Game Design Rebuilt for the Modern Era: Usher forth a new generation of Sid Meier’s Colonization with gameplay built on the award winning Civilization IV engine, providing the beautiful visuals, famously addictive gameplay and endless fun that are synonymous with Sid Meier strategy games.
Fight the Homeland and Establish a New Nation: Play as the English, Spanish, French or the Dutch and journey to a brave new world in search of freedom from your oppressive homeland
Improved Diplomacy: Sustain peace and support your followers as you engage in advanced negotiations with natives, other colonists and the hostile homeland -- Trade resources, gold and land as you build the foundation for a self sufficient and powerful colony
Historical Figures Provide Adaptive Gameplay: Acquire founding fathers such as John Smith, Patrick Henry and Samuel Adams who will help guide your nation to freedom based on your gameplay style
Brand New Interface: Both Civilization IV fans and players new to the series will feel right at home with an interface that Firaxis has built to be accessible and easy to navigate.
Multiplayer Offers Endless Replay Value: Compete with friends from all over the world via the Internet and Play by Email modes or compete locally via the Hotseat and LAN modes, offering endless ways to conquer the New World.
Detailed Tutorial Guides Players In Their Conquest: Civilization IV: Colonization will provide an enhanced tutorial that will help both fans of the game and brand new players on their way to ruling the New World.
Mods and Community Tools: Players will have limitless options for modifying the game to suit their needs. Firaxis will ship the game with modding tools including a map editor using XML and Python. |

I agree with town menu, especially the way they arranged buildings. This pattern makes my head hurt

Remake has a little bit more content than the original.
Major stuff:
- More Founding fathers(twice as many, but I can't be sure)
- Founding fathers now have prerequisites and go to one Nation only, the one that "researched" them first.
- Nations have two leaders, each with his own traits.
- Natives behaves now as small nations, there are wars between tribes. |

Dito man, original was tha GAME! Believe it or not I still remember some of the songs from that game, soundtrack kicked ass I'll try to find it again somewhere, great times with that game.
Glad to see at least one new game that's not turned into 3d hyper-texture shit, it stayed 2d just like the original and so it should, great move.

civ 4 IS highly moddable (as seen in the games scenarios and even more in the expansion), and this is not a bad thing. Its among the many things that made Civ 4 the best in the series (imo and many others).

hopefully it leeks a bit early , it is the perfect game to install on my laptop and i loved the original.
the only thing what worries me that the turn limit might be a bit short, but nothing a mod cant fix , i really love those epic long games .
