	Colonizaton 2 on the way Tired of ads?

Link

quote: Question: Will you update games (such as Colonizaton) which can no longer be played on the newer platforms so that they'll work with current operating systems? Sid: Firaxis itself will not simply "port" an older game to run on the current version of Windows - if we rerelease an older title we will always do a major overhaul of it (like we just did with Pirates!). We do have a team working on a sequel to Colonization, so fans of the first game can look forward to conquering the new world once again

Great

Well, you'd have to use some javascript, but I didn't mean you, I mean whoever made that site. Incidentally, link doesn't work for me either.

well we did have some mixed reactions to the new Pirates!, so maybe they should just stick to a straight update for newer operating systems?

Too bad about Col2 not happening, but Soren confirmed a June release date for Civ4 at CFC.

just toying with my emotions.

actually, I have never played the first one. Is it any good?

I think I'd say Colonization 1 was better than Civ 1 and at least more interesting than Civ 2. But then I never played Civ 1 much. But Colonization 1 had a cool different trade system, a kind of SMACish unit system, and some other neat features.

Well i liked it as much as Civ1, but never enjoyed the prospect of subjucating the native americans, this aspect always detracted from the fun for me.
The music was excellent, loads of period pieces and classical tunes(well it was very good on the amiga, not sure about the pc's at he time?).

If there ever is a Colonization 2 (maybe it really will wind up being next), you really should be able to play as the Natives and fight off the Europeans, or maybe play as the natives without any Europeans in the game.

That wouldn't exactly be a game of colonization then, now would it?

hmmm... one native group colonizes the others?

Maybe the Europeans could be placed on the map of America and the "Native" homelands could be off the map.

And who says everything you can mod the game into has to fit the name of the game?

But that was the best bit! Play the spanish, get that founding father guy (all you warmongers know which one I mean) and then you get more treasure than you can shake a stick at! Indians schmindians, any Col game has got to let me subjugate the inca and steal all their wealth

You mean the one with which you could ship gold without taxes, Pizarro? Getting fountain of youth with the Spanish is a must, otherwise you should've been playing the English ($$$ is nice, but in the end you need lots of pop to beat your way towards the independence).

It seems like Sid has run out of ideas and is just recreating his old titles these days. Still, I loved Colonization and will buy the next one.
