Civilization IV: Colonization Allows You To Reenact Old World Horrors
June 09, 2008
What happens when your home country turns into an oppressive environment too hostile for you to inhabit due to your particular beliefs or background? You get on a boat and go oppress the shit out of some unlucky bastards in some other country. That’s the implicit lesson in Sid Meier’s Civilization IV: Colonization. Or at least that’s the implicit lesson we’re pulling out of their press release. Gamers pick from the four European countries Spain, England, France and that powerhouse of oppression, Holland, then sail for the New World to set up shop. Apparently you will get a chance to negotiate treaties with natives and the douchebags you left back home. If history is any indication, things won’t end well. The game hits PCs later this fall.
