help Sid Meier's Colonization FAQ

How do you win Sid Meier's Colonization?

You win by building enough support for independence, declaring independence from your European king, and defeating the Royal Expeditionary Force. The game covers the period from 1492 to 1850, so the whole economy is ultimately aimed at surviving that revolution.

Which European nations can you play in Colonization?

The original 1994 MicroProse game lets you play as England, France, Spain, or the Netherlands. Each power has different advantages tied to immigration, diplomacy, conquest, or trade.

What makes Colonization different from Civilization?

Colonization is less about advancing through eras and more about trade, specialists, colonies, native relations, and independence. Instead of researching tanks or spaceships, you manage tobacco, cotton, sugar, ore, tools, guns, horses, and Liberty Bells.

Is Civilization IV: Colonization the same game?

Civilization IV: Colonization is a 2008 remake built on the Civilization IV engine. It keeps the 1492-to-independence structure, but changes the interface, graphics, AI, and balance compared with the 1994 DOS original.
