I don't remember if the player is able to win the game once an other nations colonies became independent

Yes, but you get a bonus to your total score if you're the first one (also, if you've achieved independence "early" - i.e. before the historical USA independence).

...hope you continue with sharing other game experiences, which ever you chose...

I'll second that!

I too enjoy playing Sid Meier's Colonization to this day

I was thinking of doing something like that, i haven't gotten around to test it yet. This might finally be a good use for the "RESERVED" unit. :) For now i have a "garrison" unit - basically an INF in a FRT class with no movement. Being in FRT class is important because all other classes (as far as ...

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to The Maness Brothers:

These guys will be touring Europe this summer June 10 - 28, catch them if you get a chance!

EDIT: new video just dropped today - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH8n48pYivA

There are bugs in some converted campaigns that messed up the player side - i don't remember the details anymore, been a while i last looked into it, but in essence you're playing as Allied while the game thinks you should be Axis and assigns purchase slots to Axis side instead (or vice versa). I ma...

One can easily mod a hex somewhere on the map's edge to visually display some "innocuous" terrain like sea / ocean while sporting a "concealed" airfield terrain. Well yes, that's exactly what i had in mind. :clap Actually, i would add a whole bunch of airfield hexes masked as an ocean hex, with one...

Here you have another potential endless debate; when did the thing started? I plan to eventually cover the timeframe from roughly the end of the Russian Civil War to the end of the Chinese Civil War. So say mid-1920s to 1950 or so. The aero-naval stuff... how can it work well enough? It can't. I'll...

PGF WaW - Why's and How's Well... long story short - there are two main motivations behind what i'm doing here: a) I want to make the game fun again - although, everyone's definition of what "fun" is will differ, i believe most of us agree that PGF as it is now is "broken", at least when used in th...

That works too!

So the best game would be a game that combines: - the tech tree, map size and duration of CIV III (RAR) - the town (expanded to provinces around towns) and worker management of Civilization - building system of the early ANNO games - the logistics (roads, railroads, ships) and overall management of...

Motorsports fanatic here. If it has 4 wheels and races i'm into it.
