Wow, this is a game that I’ve literally been waiting over a decade for a remake or sequel. Come to think of it, I don’t think I even finished the first one because I always made it up to a point where i lost interest. But the name of Sid Meier pretty much sells a game for me.

i demand 3 extra endings to this game

Good: supreme vassal, you are loyal on your mother state, but powerful enough to deserve loyalty in return, you are simply a new land in an empire, not a vassal.

Best: new capitol, your wealth and prestiege earned the eyre of your your homeland, but you kept the people moderate, over time the happiness and health of your people caused a mass exodus to the new found lands, the homeland now a serf to yours, dependant on the riches of your exports.

awesomest: You met the homelands millitary in the sea and sunk it, and kept sailing killing every member of the homelands ruling body, those who didnt see fit to go into hiding at least.

music is still horrible – i had hoped they’d improve on that civ 4 music so i wouldn’t have to shut music off completely off around year 1500. OH NO – that’s when the ENTIRE colonization game takes place… which means no music at all for me!?

oh bummer. ;-(

Yeah, that Bach guy was a total hack.

Bummer for you. Civilization has one of the best soundtracks ever made in gaming.

Not to mention that there will be a different soundtrack. :)

i hope this is good – I still run a colonisation game on my pc (thankyou dosbox!) and have been playing it consistently since… ’94 i think? It would have to be pretty good to displace the original in my affections. Until alpha centauri, this was about the best thing i thought Sid Meier had done…

This is either going to be a pleasantly nostalgia-fuelled surprise, or a sickly disappointment like SM Railroads, which was awful. My money is actually on the latter given the complete lack of visibility T2/Firaxis have given to this.

Yes I too would like to play this, pretty much because i’d like to make friends with the natives rather than dropping cannon balls on them. Makes me think of that Eugene McDaniels song all over again. Anyway I trust Sid Meier, he’s a good’un.

Hmm it seems to have been fixed (the page).
Could have been on my end.
