Colonization

Colonization is an old PC game, which was released in the year 1994. The strategy game contains the story of colonies of Europe. In order to win the game, the player needs to combat the Imperial Expeditionary association in the fight. The player can take command over any of the colonies from England, Spain, The Netherlands and France, and the rest of the colonies are under the control of the computer. Each of the colonies has their own distinct abilities, which are helpful at different stages of the game. The player has the advantage of choosing between an ancient map or some other map which have been recently created. The game, colonization begins when two ships reach the new cosmos and the map is shown. Progressively, the player creates dumps, go round the new world, investigate the people and construct buildings and kingdoms. Also, the ships can go back to Europe and gather more kingdoms to sell pieces of stuff to them. The price of the pieces of stuff depends on the availability and demand of the particular stuff. The player can purchase commodities with the help of the money he has. He can buy commodities for the construction of buildings, setting up new colonies, and purchase ships and weapons. The player needs to safeguard his colonies from any foreign invasion and therefore, he needs to keep himself equipped with all the weapons and warriors. In addition, the player can teach tactics and techniques to his warriors so that the productivity and efficiency of the warriors' increases. Furthermore, there are four types of colonies differentiated on the basis of their skills. The first type does not contain any skills but can perform a job. Whereas, the fourth type is the most talented colony.
