I really can't wait for this to come out. I've been a fan of Sid's stuff since first playing "Pirates!" on my Commodore 64 back in 1987. I've been playing a lot of FreeCol lately, and it's amazing how great a game "=Colonization. It is rare to find a game that still plays well a decade and a half later. The only other one I know is "Seven Cities of Gold", which I fire up on my C=64 emulator from time to time
I don't get the name though. Shouldn't it just be "Sid Meier's Colonization II"? Why are they going with such an unwieldy monster as "Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization"? I mean, it's a stand alone game. I'm guessing this name will hurt sales. People that don't have Civilization IV may pass this up thinking that it is an expansion.
Any ideas?
