Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization is a remake of the famous turn-based strategy game Sid Meier's Colonization which was released in 1994. The game was totally remade with the Civilization IV engine. In the game player controls settlers from four European nations – Spain, England, France and Netherlands. Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization takes place in the period between 1492-1792. The game is mostly about bilding your colonies, army, declare independence from their mother country and defeat enemies who are sent by the king to destroy rebellion. There are four different colonies, four kingdoms and eight different tribes in the game. Player should manage economics, built and expand their cities and manage diplomacy in order to win. Also, there is trade mechanic, which has to be used when player has the required amount of goods which then are sent to Europe or are traded with natives for other goods or gold. Things like silver or ore can be mined in order to make tools which then can be turned into guns.
