Civilization IV : Colonization

You kidding? Dammit, I need to get through Spore and GTA4 (just got it for the 360!)

Yeah, it looks really cheap so far too, ~20£, really love the cheaper releases, i hope they'll sell a lot more because of that and show that price is a factor too :) Will be purchasing it as soon as my WAR hype dies down a bit :)

Hmm...promised myself not to buy anything else til I finish GTA and Spore-I should stop watching the football really!!!
 
This is Civ 4: Colonization though. It's not an addon, it's a completely full game on it's own.

Oh sorry, indeed, I completely failed, I confused this thread with another about civ4 today :p.



That aside, this is an expansion, you need civ4 to install col...
But yes I know what col is, I just confused 2 threads :(.

EDIT: Again I failed and posted rubbish, just ignore this post, you do not need civ 4 for col...

I think it's a standalone game-not sure you do need Civ4 installed....

You are correct, my bad :(.

Was pretty sure I read otherwise a while ago but a quick peek on civfanatics shows otherwise.

Announced on June 9th, 2008, Civilization IV: Colonization is a standalone expansion pack for the award-winning game Civilization IV.
 
Don't know why their calling it an expansion pack, it's got a completely different game mechanic.

I think its because the used most of the Civ 4 engine and just modded it a little, and so the might as well tell it the way it is, and also if people (are unfortunate enough) not to have played Colonisation it gives the brand more appeal to people that have played Civ 4...

Ok people, can someone that has played the game let me know what its like, I have heard mixed opinions of it, should I stick to playing it on my Amiga? :)

It is in effect a mod of Civ IV, based on the original Colonization games. You start off as Spanish, French, Dutch or English settlers in the new world and have to conquer it, effectively!

The reason I still have an Amiga 1200, for me it was about the only game from that generation that was actually better on the Amiga than the PC (although it was released 2 or so years later). It had a beter interface and the music sounded so much better generated on Paula!!!!
 
FYI, that certain Jersey based store has had it listed as in stock and dispatching in 24 hours since the 22nd. :)
