You can see a farmer in the schoolhouse, teaching untrained settlers and an elder statesman and company "producing" freedom bells in the town hall. The capital of all my colonies, Jamestown, has developed into a medium sized city. Though you can play some more years when you declare independence in, let's say, 1798 and the mandatory war of independence will of course last much more than 2 two years. That means you will have around 400 turns left before the game ends in 1800 and before you have declared independence. The year 1600 is very important because from now on you will play 2 turns/year. You can also sell muskets to the natives which live close to your european competitors The Privateer is able to steal a lot of Muskets which you can either sell in Europe or use yourself. The AI is cheating and gets unlimited muskets, which become expensive later in the game. Privateers are sailing under the black flag and nobody knows where it's comming from Privateers are fast ships and you can attack the other european nations without risking a war. They often provide presents worth a lot of money and you can send untrained settlers to the villages to become experienced workers:Īnno Domini 1527 i had accumulated enough money (with the help of the aforementioned natives) to buy a privateer in old London town.

So under normal circumstances the natives will start to attack and harrass you sooner or later and once they get their hands on horses or muskets they become very hard to beat.īut in the early part of the game the natives are friendly and it is useful to visit every native village. I once read that it should be possible to live along the natives, but i guess that would need a lot of micro-managing of wagon trains and a lot of trades and gifts. It seems almost impossible to get along friendly. Sooner or later you have to kill the indians. I guess it is the most criticized part of the game.

i rarely play with french, because i prefer killing all native tribes in the nearby (yep, it's not a pc game) i prefer using dutch (better merchants) or spanish (better soldiers) players. (You also see beavers in the north which provides double furs and a rumor sign) Ehm, did i say new nation? Good save the King

There are also some hills that will provide iron ore to the new nation. The place of my first colony looks pretty good with a fishery and bonus woods. We travalled further south to warmer regions and made landfall in an area which will later be named North Carolina? Or at least, somehere close to NC. That means they attract immigrants faster than other nations.Īfter a long journey me and my crew arrived at the coast of an unknown continent. So, the whole journey didn't take much too long and see, we are not that far away from home )įor this little gaming theatre i choose the easiest level and the English, who offer a bonus on immigration. If we were making 50 seamiles a day, i told them we did 30. (Well i had to lie at my crew all the time. to release the dos version here today on steam honestly seems like a poor choice as it was the least favored version even when they were still being sold.After all the talk about good ol' games i somehow got beamed into the mood of playing and posting about one of those ancient gems which, by coincidence, is my most favorite game of all times: Sid Meier's ColonizationĬall me Maximilianus Randowe of the English now, who, after a long and adventurous journey arrived in the shallow waters of a new world. Col win has much better graphic resolution and hotkeys than the dos version ever had.

#Colonial regulars freecol Patch#

it was a free patch called col95.exe that they released and distributed freely for a while on their website and later I was even able to contact them directly and request a copy of the patch.

I'm just saying, they dont seem to have the same exact released version that I have on cdrom.Īlso releasing the dos box version was a huge mistake as the windows version has a patch that makes it compatibale with windows xp and in turn win7. Its almost like these new fellas are distributing earlier versions that what were released, but im not stating that as a fact. seems like all these titles are a bit off comperared to their originals, I still own their originals. Nightdive may have bought the rights, but someone somewhere seems to have edited it between them purchasing it and us playing it.
