New to Colonization ?
If you're new to the game, let's just say you're in for a treat! This game is really fun to play. Somehow they managed to make a perfect strategy game in the sense that it offers quality gameplay without being too complex. Sometimes the focus on graphics and in-game mechanics can take some of the attention away from the actual gameplay experience, but not so for Colonization.
Colonization is simple, yet challenging. You have to attend to all the different aspects of the game: colonists, colonies, warfare, trade and interaction with the natives -- all at the same time.
Short re-cap: Sid Meier's Colonization, a turn-based strategy game themed on early european colonization, was first published by Microprose in 1994, and was later released for Windows, Mac and Amiga in 1995. It followed Sid Meier's very popular game Civilization, released in 1991. Colonisation introduced some new game concepts -- harvesting and manufacturing goods for trade being the most important one, but also the concept of interacting with the native tribes in the New World. Colonisation also allows for a great deal of micro management of your colonies compared with Civilization (In fact, it requires it!). This micro management of the different game aspects makes the gameplay experience challenging, informative and fun.
