The game kicks off with you in charge of a boat stuffed full of religious fanatics and venomous criminals, the kind of people who founded the United States, and to judge by its current government, still comprise it today. With this motley crew of European outcasts, you have the task of founding a colonial empire capable of standing on its own two feet Early turns are a simple matter of appropriating some land from unsuspecting and sadly trusting natives, starting your first settlement, and getting a viable economy going.
As tends to be the way in games of empire building, there are crops to be planted, trees to be lumbered, ore to be mined, and fish to be caught to feed your hungry imperialists. What's immediately impressive is the flexibility you have in changing the professions and specialities of your settlers, who're bussed in on your ships as they nip hither and thither over the Atlantic.
One minute, they're picking cotton under the hot sun. The next, some local chief looks at your wagon train funny, so you tool them up with some muskets and send them off to bayonet his squaws. And finally, you change them into missionaries, and send them into the natives' remaining village to convert them into servile Christians, just like all those other poor servants, slaves and assorted underlings busting their balls on your tobacco plantations.
At its heart, Colonization is about trading. Sometimes you will barter with the local Indians, who will give you valuable furs and silver for any old shiny tat you can ship over from corner shops in Europe. But mostly you will trade directly with your homeland in the Old World, capitalising on the apparent legions of folk looking to smoke and drink themselves into early graves with the help of your fine rum and cigars, earning the dollars you need to buy guns, tools, horses and other means of violence.
While the number crunching in all of this can be a little scary, once you get your head round it, the challenge of running a successful economy is one of the game's strengths. That there are only three types of military land unit soldier, cannon, cavalry in Colonization shouldn't stop you from wreaking hell on your neighbours.
The Indians aren't too much trouble until they get their hands on white man's shooting irons. Your European co-colonisers are a different matter, seeing as they too can call upon heavy artillery. And the army of the King, sent to kick your arse when you try to go independent, is a juggernaut for which you'd better be ready. There are a total of 18 civilizations in the game.
