ABOUT THE GAME

Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization is a remake of the 1994 turn-based strategy game Sid Meier's Colonization. Players control settlers from one of four European nations – Spain, England, France, and the Netherlands – that are trying to conquer/colonize the New World in the period 1492–1792. The victorious player is the first to build up his colonies and army, declare independence from the mother country, and defeat the military force that the king inevitably sends to crush the rebellion. The Windows version was released on September 23, 2008. A Mac OS X version was released in December 2009. Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization does not require the original Sid Meier's Civilization IV in order to play.
