Aspyr Announces Civ IV: Colonization
Aspyr Media announced today that it will be releasing Sid Meier’s Civilization IV: Colonization for the Mac in December. The fifth installment of the Civ IV series, the game will not require the original Civilization IV to play.
Developed by Firaxis Games, creators of the award-winning Civilization franchise, Colonization adds an entirely new scenario to the ever-evolving world of Civilization. In Colonization, players lead one of four European nations on a quest to colonize and thrive in the New World. Players are challenged to guide their people from the oppressive motherland; discover the New World; and negotiate, trade and fight as they acquire power and battle for their freedom and independence. Usher forth a new generation of Sid Meier’s Colonization with gameplay built on the award-winning Civilization IV engine, providing the beautiful visuals, famously addictive gameplay and endless fun that are synonymous with Sid Meier strategy games.
Got that? It’s the “oppressive motherland” now. BTW, if you don’t want people to believe that games are addictive, calling it “famously addictive gameplay” will probably not do that. Ahem.
The game features improved diplomacy, a new game interface, mutliplayer that includes internet and LAN modes, and detailed tutorial guides. Civilization IV: Colonization is rated E10+ by the ESRB.
