Civilization’s 30th birthday: Playing Colonization as the Natives

By | November 13, 2021

Our user blake00 has released another video to celebrate the history of Civilization! After he showed us how to play the original Colonization in HD, he has now dug deeper into this classic. He investigated how it would be possible to play as the Natives, which took some long effort to find all the necessary information. At the end it is not as interesting as playing as the Barbarians in Civ, and mostly results in errors, but the video is nevertheless nice to watch for anyone with an interest in the old Sid Meier titles.
