The first is the basic free citizen, who has no particular skills but may be assigned to any job. Goods may be sold to rival colonial powers, sent back to Europe for sale, or sold to Indian villages.Д¬olonists come in four types. In addition, wagons are necessary to trade with inland Indian villages.

Indians will destroy a colony if they capture it.Д¬itizens may also travel to an Indian village and learn a skill from the natives such as tobacco farming.Д¬olonies are preferably put on the coast although they can be built inland, the player must build wagons to transport goods between colonies. If a colonial power captures a colony, it will remain in their possession unless it is retaken by force. Guns and horses must be available in a colony to equip citizens and turn them into soldiers. Indians will initially only have braves and no horses or guns over time they may obtain them via trade or defeating colonial forces in battle. Weapons and soldiers can be purchased from Europe however to win independence, the player will need to develop an indigenous armaments industry. When waging war, the player has a basic colonial army consisting of militiamen, artillery, cavalry, and ships. If another colonial power has already established a mission in a village, a missionary may attempt to denounce them as heretics with an equal 50/50 chance of success or failure. The Indians may accept and convert, or they may refuse and burn the missionary at the stake. Players may send missionaries into Indian villages to convert them to Christianity. Moreover, the player manages their citizens, educating them in various skills to increase their productivity in areas such as farming, gathering of resources, or manufacturing. The player is also required to protect their colonies from potential invasion by equipping and stationing soldiers. The king may at different times raise colonial taxes to pay for a war taking place in Europe. With money, the player is able to buy goods, fund faster building construction, recruit new colonists, or buy ships and artillery. The prices of commodities in Europe fluctuate depending upon supply and demand. Harvested resources from the land, such as cotton or tobacco, can be manufactured and converted into commodities, such as cloth and cigars, and either used or sold. Different map squares can yield different resources for instance, most squares can produce food, while only forests can yield lumber. The colonists can work the immediate land around the colony. The ship can return to Europe to collect more colonists and sell items. Subsequently, the player makes landfall, explores the New World, meets the indigenous Indians, builds colonies and buildings, and improves and works the surrounding land. The journey begins with a ship and two units arriving at the new world as the ship moves into the unknown, the map is revealed.Д¬olonize the New World in this turn-based strategy game (in similar vein to Sid Meier's Civilization) set in the 15th century. There is a choice between a historical map (America) or a randomly generated map (the New World), and players may also construct their own map with the included scenario editor. Landing off the coast of America in 1492, the player could choose to represent either Britain, Spain, France or The Netherlands, exploring the New World, establishing colonies, managing trade routes and dealing with the local Indian populations. As your colonies grow larger and larger, you inevitably encounter native populations and are confronted with competing imperial powers from the Old World.

You have no knowledge of what lies ahead of your ship, so you must explore until you find a suitable spot to lay down your first colony. In the beginning of the game you are given a trading/exploration ship and a small group of colonists.

The game begins with the European discovery of the Americas (1500) and continues until approximately the time of the American Revolution (1800). You face many of the same challenges that faced colonial organizers of the time-competition from other Old World powers, strange native cultures, the problems of establishing profitable trade programs, and the problems of organizing an army from a rag-tag band of colonists. Sid Meier's Colonization game description The treasures of an entire continent await you. Your colonists anxiously follow you to shore. The New World lies before you with all its peril, promise and infinite possibility.
