Sid Meier’s Civilization IV: Colonization – discover a New World
Sid Meier’s Civilization IV: Colonization is a remake of the 1994 turn-based strategy game Sid Meier’s Colonization. Players control settlers from one of four European nations, Spain, England, France, or the Netherlands, that are trying to conquer/colonize the New World in the period between 1492–1792. The final goal of each player is to build up their colonies and a standing army, then declare independence from their mother country and defeat the military force that the King sends to crush the rebellion. In order to build and expand their cities, players must balance negotiations with several separate groups: the natives of the Americas, colonists from the player’s home country, and other colonists from the old world. Players may also recruit founding fathers to join their cause — each with a specific bonus that helps them throughout the game.
