This section is slowly dying...

[GenghisK]

Why don't people post on that forum? While OT or Civ3 have new posts everyday, I was surprised and terribly sad that this one hasn't had new posts since... 16 April. Perhaps people don't like playing Colonization? I cannot understand that. I'm really disappointed. Of course Thunderfall will have less work to do but that's a pity nobody is trying to keep Colonization section alive.

I like Colonization, but frankly, I don't play it all that often. My computer tends to give me error messages when I play it for awhile, and Civ II takes up a lot of my gaming time. So I personally don't typically have much to say on the topic. Which is a shame, really, because it's a neat game. Maybe I'll start up a game later this week, once I've had a chance to sleep a little bit. It would be a good distraction from my final exam studying.

What is exactly Colonisation? I don't even know the game...

Damn! You don't know what IS Colonization? My poor friend, you don't deserve to be a Sid Meier fan any more!
Seriously, Colonization is another Sid masterpiece, a civ-like but here you're colonizing (surprising isn't it?) the new world from 1492 (Christopher Colombus) to 1800 after the US independance declaration. It's working the same way you know. It's a shame you don't have it. But as you have a Macintosh, it was a bit difficult to get a Mac ver... It took me a while too, to find it. Anyway, PM me, I'll fix that "problem" Serious.

Well considering that colonization is a pretty old game, we don't expect to see people flocking to the forum.

I myself am the moderator of the col forum at CGN, but I haven't touched the game for more than a month now....and before that it was for a few years.

Bwahaha! This forum won't die, as long as I post a whole heck of a lot!

Or, maybe not that much. This game is several years old, and the big news right now is Civ3, so don't expect a daily post here.

Actually, the posts here have been speeding up.

There are still players who play this game...

[GenghisK]

Like me!
Yesterday finished another Revolution as Explorer level. Ok, I'm not gifted to try a harder level.

[Thunderfall]

Anyone know why no one is making Colonization II? I find it quiet strange because both Civ3 and Moo3 are around the corner...

Over at the Colonization II Project, we're currently discussing the interface for the Home Country Screen (European View, in the old game). We've also been having a pretty good debate on the Founding Fathers, John Paul Jones with his Frigate, and La Salle with his Stockade for Colonies with a Pop. of 3 are on their way out, as the voting now stands. While most of the suggested new Fathers are looking like they'll get in.

Stop by and have a look. You don't have to be registered to post or even start a new thread.

We may have added a new coder, so things may pick up.

The latest version allows us to select new units in the Home Country Screen (Europe in the old game). You can load cargo onto a ship as well as passengers and send them off to the map. They get there ok, but you can’t, as yet, land them.

This may not seem like much (and it isn’t), but we’re making headway.

Hey that progress Stopped by the site today. Yall are SOOOO busy and putting so much effort into this and I for one appreciate it. So if theres any ground breaking developments(lie being able to actually move units j/k) TELL US!!

SC, you’re a little behind the times. We could move units in the version before this last one. Of course they don’t have anywhere to go and don’t have a whole lot to do, but we can move them. (Pioneer units can build roads, and irrigate squares.)

I think our next effort will be to develop a Colony Display Screen. I made up a preliminary one just to give an idea of what it MIGHT look like. Of course those elements from the old game I included will have to be changed to our own design. (Production, Construction, Units Present, etc.)

Also, I’m no artist so don’t laugh at my feeble attempts at a building! (I’m sensitive. I might just go off and sulk if you do.)

Still, if anybody would like to try their hand at this, or any other aspect of the game, or if you have any suggestions on ways you’d like to see it improved, stop by and post. Everybody’s welcome. (And nobody gets laughed at, even talentless artists!)
