Description

The Tradition of Civilization Continues

The New World lies before you with all its peril, promise and infinite possibility. Your colonists anxiously follow you to shore. The treasures of an entire continent await you.

Finally, the much-anticipated follow-up to Civilization is here! Sid Meier's Colonization takes you into the Colonial Era to discover, explore and colonize vast territories that promise both danger and reward.

Play one of four colonial powers as you set sail to discover the New World. Explore new lands and strategically plant your first colony. Direct its growth, manage its resources and establish lucrative trade routes. Balance economics, political and military strategy to create your own powerful nation.

But beware of your enemies! Angry natives and rival powers can encroach upon your territory. You'll have to overcome your foes with superior military strategy and wily diplomacy. Only then can you launch your revolution and declare your independence.

Colonization, The newest strategy game from Sid Meier continues the great tradition of Civilization.

—User Reviews—
“The game is a rich and varied Gestalt of top colony activity. Strategies must be divined with care, and constantly modified to ride the chaotic rapids of the thousands of interactive elements in this opus of creative genius. Perhaps. Or it could just be a damn fine game.”

“Colonization offers hours and hours of entertainment. I played it for over a week to write this review and it commanded my total concentration all the time to play it once through. Because the game can be very different every time you play it, this means that Colonization is the sort of game you could play for ever.”

So close and yet so far

This is so close to being so good. As it is it’s literally a direct port, with your fingers moving the cursor and a tap being a click. But all iOS intuition goes wrong when you tap what you want to click, and end up in completely the wrong part of the map, because the “cursor” was on the minimal.

I wanted so badly to like this. I loved this game when I was a kid, and Mac OS Catalina killed the ported version I had on my laptop… but this is genuinely unplayable. No ability to move diagonally (unless I’m missing something) and while I’m sure I could get used to switching between the “mouse” interface and the keyboard, it’s overwhelmingly annoying.

A Great Game -Love it!

I will admit that it takes awhile to figure out and get use to the controls but it is 100% worth it - I am totally addicted AGAIN I remember playing this when I was a kid. They don’t really make a lot games like this anymore it is complicated you have to think and contemplate so many different variables. The game plays out slowly over time instead of bam bam bam, which is a nice contrast to the contemporary games I love. I really love it and am so glad someone adapted it to phone/iPad. I would love the controls to be a little easier but you do get the hang of it after awhile and I almost like the throw back nature of those too. I wish there were an easier way to keep track of things and jump from colony to colony. There might be I seem to discover new tricks all the time. So don’t give up on it bc the controls are complicated and frustrating push through -look up control short cuts online. If you played this way back in “the olden days”you won’t be disappointed just impressed with what a great it always was and still remains.

Love it

This is the same Sid Meier's classic that I enjoyed playing in my childhood in 94.

The music is the same but of a lower quality , and the buttons get a while to get to know which is why most people here gave the game negative review due to frustration.

The game should come with a page of instructions on how to use the new controls on iPhone. It's very playable once you know what you should be doing.

to load /unload cargo ,select the cargo with your finger then select the keyboard and use + or - .

To move across terrain just press on the square you want to move to and hold it then release.

To check a square click on the brown board on the right side of the screen until a flashing square appears, then touch on a terrain then press f1 for info on the terrain, but don't click on a city directly with the flashing square that'll take you into the city. Instead click on a terrain next to the city then choose the keyboard and move the square with the arrows to the city , then select A to get a list of the units that you want to activate that are stacked in the city.

Hope this helps . Enjoy the game it's lovely and addicting and the best way to pass time during long flights.
