With tact and finesse, you can forge alliances, making technological advances - without points - for the construction of a record-length railroad. The American Civil War will appeal to warlords, testing talents on the battlefield, while diplomats can come to Africa to get their money. In two new scenarios the American Civil War can be re-enacted, or you can participate in the colonial scramble for Africa. Followers of a peaceful strategy definitely get more out of Civilization V: Brave New World. Or you can side with Venetians and Moroccans for major world trade. You can send archaeologists to search for relics, promote the arts as a patron and boost tourism. When you get into it a bit more, you can see the new features of Civilization V: Brave New World. Neighbors either invite you to round table talks or you fight them on the battlefield. With the materials we collect, we build the town into a powerful metropolis and expand its territory through new settlements. Again, we start by building a village, forming troops and exploring the map. an 8 for the windows port because of some annoying bugs.A game of skill, diplomacy and destruction of artĪt first glance, you can see very little difference between Civilization V and the Brave New World extension. gives civilization a run for itself being a deeper game, focusing in a great historical event, makes caesar series seem a little plain, and remind us that a good game is always about its gameplay, graphics are just the nice touch. if not, try it too, just a brilliant game. if you are a win xp user, you better save often, otherwise, you will find yourself yelling at your PC (like I did) just before losing an afternoon's hard work.Ī brilliant game, if you still use your old 486, try it. and the controls are not the only thing buggy about this game. but that's something windows users should be used to. Sounds, are somewhat dissapointing, but, let's face it, this genre does not need help of a great soundtrack to entertain.Ĭontrols, well, a mouse driven interface, that worked very well for the DOS colonization, but this windows port seems to be a little buggy, and the mouse does not respond to your command. Every country has a unique color to id their units, and every native faction have their own buildings. The graphics are well drawn, kind of what you would expect from a turn based strategy game of the 90's, and this windows port uses the same graphics the old colonization used.

There is a difficulty level option, and you can always choose the country you will represent from the start (the netherlands and spain seem to be the most powerful countries given their advantages, but that's for me hehe). Seasoned strategy gamers will find it very similar to previous strategy games, and is not that difficult to get into it. If you are not into strategy games, you will have a rough time learning the many aspects seen in this game, but giving it some time, you will get hooked up. To begin with, the gameplay, is just smooth, a great turn based strategy game. And this time, it was not the whole mankind history like in civilization, but just the colonization process given in the Americas, and let's be honest, playing against any of the monarchies found in the game is fun hehe. At first, colonization proved that Sid Meier was not a good game maker, but one of the greatest (including the developing teams he has worked with). Games that recreate a historical time of mankind are always welcome.
