Full name: Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization It's a turn-based strategy game based on the Civilization IV engine. Essentially it's a remake of the original Sid Meier's Colonization. Apart from the graphics engine, very little has changed. The goal of the game is simple enough: colonise the New World, starting in the year 1492, and eventually declare independance. Your home nation won't like this so you'll have to fight a serious army before the final victory. It's a standalone game, it does not require Civilization IV to run.
