DESCRIPTION

This standalone expansion of Civilization IV completely converts the game engine to give players an experience much more similar to that of another Sid Meier classic: Colonization. Gamers take charge of a group of English, Spanish, French, or Dutch citizens fleeing their homeland in pursuit of freedom in the New World, and then players must learn to trade and negotiate with natives and other colonists and eventually fight for their own freedom and independence. Diplomatic options have increased, with new ways to trade resources, gold, and land, and players can acquire founding fathers such as John Smith, Patrick Henry, and Samuel Adams to help guide the nation to freedom. Multiplayer options include Internet and e-mail play modes, as well as LAN and hotseat modes, and players can make use of modding tools and a map editor to customize their games. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide

“Interesting use of the Civilization IV platform. The use of "Founding Fathers" added an invovative element to the game. However, if you are interested in this game, I would recomend another: Conquest of the New World. It has much...”

“You can never have enough games on Steam :)”

“:) true dat

Can I just say that Steam has probably completely changed the way that I play & own games?

Laziness & cheapness ftw :)”

“Seriously. They routinely price things at 80% off, which is just about the point at which I can no longer make rational economic decisions. For less than $5, I'll buy games I'm pretty sure I won't like. Then you get so used to firing up whatever game you feel like that it becomes a ridiculous burden to have to go put in a disc. :P”

“I have yet to buy an actual game on steam, so I don't use it regularly. I plan on picking up a few titles, but its on the back burner till a really good deal rolls around or I get a new vid card. ”

“@onemorehour it's amazing just how annoying putting in discs can be... I've ripped most of my games to disc though annoyingly some of them have copy protection that stymies that (!!!) - Diablo 2 is an example @HIghSimSim Thanks dude!

I also like the fact that Steam has a lot of oldies and random fun indie games... including 2d platformers & arcade style games which I must admit are an obsession I never got over !”

Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization (PC) by: Krushnieva

“A nice "expansion-esque" game for Civ Iv, Colonization focuses on economy, trade, manufacturing, and your relationships with the natives of the New World. A fun spin-off of Civilization.”

Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization (PC) by: SWManiac

“Great game. Might not fully capture the original Colonization but a very well put together remake. Out of balance at first but patches will fix that.”
