http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/9049/sopening000.png Microprose...are we sensing a pattern? I think so! http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/6012/sopening001.png And it's an adventure game! From 1994! What in the world could this be?! http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/9845/sopening002.png COLONIZATION! The game where you take over the New World! It's basically Sid Meier's red headed step child and a reimagining of the original Civilization game. http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/5179/sopening003.png We're pansies and this is a pretty new game to us so we're playing this on Easiet. There are 4 of the European powers that are represented here. Why they left out Portugal is beyond me.. http://img801.imageshack.us/img801/117/sopening004.png First up are the English. They have that whole Puritan thing going on now and folks want to leave for American. They get an immigration bonus that puts one people on the docks back in London ready to go free of charge. http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/2557/sopening005.png Secondly, there's the French. Instead of having a bonus back at home, they get one in the new world: The natives actually like them and they are less prone to be fighting and more likely to be trading. http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/8976/sopening006.png On the other hand...the Spanish will have nothing of that and are out to conquer the New World by force. They get bonuses to combat and possibly more loot from sacking the native settlements. http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/8206/sopening007.png Lastly, we have the Dutch. A new nation that has seceded from Spain. They are traders and always get the best deals on trade between the New World and Europe. http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/1161/sopening008.png And of course, the Tigger is playing as well....so everyone pick out the nation to be played. I say Dutch, Tigger says Spanish, what do you think?
