Forum members Dale and ColdFever have already released the first two mods for Civilization IV Colonization: Age of Discovery II and Blue Marble, respectively. Here is a preview of each:

Age of Discovery II
Description: "Welcome to the age of conquistadors, colonisation, puffy European Kings, Indian wars and buccaneers! As an expansion to Civ4: Colonization the Age of Discovery II aims to enhance, add to and complete the game."

Key Features: A new Portuguese civilization (much requested by users), two new maps, a Pirates empire, and a myriad of other game-balancing and game-enhancing changes and additions.

Blue Marble v1.0
Description: "This program allows the installation of a new graphic design for Sid Meier's CivIV Colonization™, based on images of the NASA project Blue Marble, supplemented with a graphically modernized and harmonized user interface. Individual components are selectable in the setup program."

Awesome work! Going to play the base game first a few times, but will be looking for mods after that.

Anyone know if we're going to get a patch to the Civ4 engine to use these new features in Civ4 itself for modding?
