Sid Meiers Colonization is a new strategy game that takes you into the Colonial Era to discover, explore, and colonize vast territories that promise both danger and reward. You can choose to play as one of the four colonial powers: the French, English, Dutch, or Spanish, each with distinct characteristics and political situations. The game is a follow-up to Civilization, and it continues the great tradition of the series.

In Sid Meiers Colonization, you must manage your growth, development, and trade to create a powerful nation. You'll need to balance economics, political and military strategy to overcome your foes and establish lucrative trade routes. Angry natives and rival powers can encroach upon your territory, so you'll have to overcome your enemies with superior military strategy and wily diplomacy. Only then can you launch your revolution and declare your independence. The game offers hours and hours of entertainment, and you can customize your games and choose your own level of difficulty so that you never play the same game twice.
