Civilization IV : Colonization

Seriously? ''oh ****'' :( !

I hate short games, they're way too uninvolving, I always play epic or marathon speeds in civ4 so it has extra turns, I'm used to at least 700 turns /game :(. Really hope there's a way to enhance game length in it.

Don't worry, in the original there was always a lot more to do per turn then civ. With all the colonist management you spend much more time organising things but it never seemed too micro-managementy. I generally don't like too much micro-management but always loved col.

For anyone that hasn't played it I recommend picking up the now free version. Get the Dos version and run it with dosbox. Didn't like the windows version.

I find the pixellated graphics still quite good as they really made the best use of them. I find that I automatically add my own image in my head to the characters that really are only made up of a few dozen pixels. As with anything the more realistic you try to be the more people expect from you.

I don't know what they've done with the col2 graphics in those latest screenshots. The GUI looks abysmal, especially the city screen. We don't need great big pictures for the good type, the city layout is far too gridlike.. absolutely terrible.
 
I used to still have my amiga , but i chucked it away and all its games ( years ago ) ..... What an idiot !! but oh well , whats done is done :)
 
Have read 26th Sept on one site, and lots of others saying "Fall" which could be anything up to the end of November which isn't so good.
 
Not much buzz on this one? I can't wait and it's looking like it's out next week now. That only gives me 2 days to finish Warhead potentially :)
