Blake has found another game, which surely will be of interest for the CivFanatics: “1492 – Colonization of the New World”.
As you can expect from the title, the setting and what you know about a title called “Colonization”, this is a turn-based 4X game, where you need to settle the new world. The graphics are a neat 2D style, which certainly gives us some Civ/Col feelings. You can play with 8 civs though, and it seems that independence from the homeland is not the only victory condition.
The release is expected later this year.
