Create a New Nation.
Sid Meier's Colonization, a turn-based strategy in which you can become the conquistador of the New World, is available now for $5.99, only on GOG.com.
You probably missed the first ships in 1492 (unless you’re a Highlander), you might have played the the game in 1994 or 95 when the game was originally released (but you probably don’t have the floppy or an Amiga anymore), and now you’ve got your third and final chance to conquer the Americas: the digital version of Colonization, brought to you by GOG.com.
Sid Meier's Colonization is much more than just an improved version of strategy classic Civilization from 1991: instead of building your own civilization from scratch, you start as as a nation’s leader and begin colonizing the newly discovered world. Each of the European powers: England, France, Spain, or Netherlands has its own bonuses that make it unique, like Dutch trading, French negotiations, or Spanish military bonuses against the native villages. Depending on what you choose, you’ll be more of a colonist, trader, diplomat, or brutal conquistador. Ultimately, you’ll declare independence--but not without a fight!
Dealing with three European superpowers, eight native tribes, and finally the King's expeditionary force arriving to teach you a lesson, Colonization is a difficult task, especially since there are thousands of interactive elements that can change the outcome of each playthrough. The simple idea, mixed with creative genius of Sid Meier, and rules of a turn-based-strategy, make for a game that can be replayed forever.
Set sail, land, and claim Sid Meier's Colonization as your own for only $5.99 on GOG.com.
