FreeCol is the only one really worth playing, it's only downsize is lack of OG music

Yeah, I think that's the word.
>>
America or random map?
>>
>>1905662
Both good. What I like about america is all the resources are bunched together by climate. What's nice about random is you can't just bee-line whatever is good. I do enjoy making a mega-monopoly on rum/cigs so I guess america is my favorite by a smidge.
>>
>>1904435
I love the goods processing/transportation and mobile population aspects. Has anyone tried to mod those into a regular Civ setting?
>>
>>1905722
Just mod Civ4Col if you want that.

Thinking about it
>ancient mediterranean where different civs specialize in different goods (olives, copper, clay amphoras...)
>Founding Fathers (now made non-exclusive) are inventions on separate tech tracks and the points they need are gotten from your citizens doing related things, e.g. maritime tech evolves if you fish a lot
>sea peoples barbs disrupting trade routes could lead to bronze age collapse
but probably never actually doing it
>>
>>1905908
England cuz shitton of immigrants
>>
>>1905908
English or dutch. I prefer not to bother with natives one way or another unless they attack me or they occupy some absolute prime real estate.
>>
>>1905997
you could make similar game with greek cieties/phonecian colonization
>>
>>1906285
Just make a Fall From Heaven Colonization game. Even better.
>>
>>1905662
>Col
America
>FreeCol
Random, but no bigger than 500x500
>CivCol
Random, max size
>>
>>1905908
French default. Dutch when I want to rush the victory.
>>
>>1906145
Their bonus is literally irrelevant once you have 3 pop colony and get a church. Of all faction, theirs is ironically the weakest.
>>
>>1907192

>America
Wouldn't it get boring playing the same map over and over?
>>
>>1907261
>No, I never played Col, how could you tell
Nigger, do you have any fucking idea how big impact randomisation of special resources make on replay value on the exact same map? Of course you don't, because you never played this game.
>>
>>1907305
Why are you angry? I asked because I only played with random map.
>>
>>1906156
>I prefer not to bother with natives one way or another unless they attack me
Wouldn't French be a better choice for that?
>>
>>1907324
I'm not angry, but ok. Here is a clue: people can call you names and slurs, because you deserve them, not because they are pissed.
>>
>>1907537
faggot
>>
>>1904878
just download the OG music and play it over the game
>>
would we ever get a slavers mod?
>>
>>1907478
French want to put missionaries in tribes and use converted natives who aren't worth the trouble IMO.

Don't get me wrong. I do like FreeCol.

>>1904435
is there a version for 20th century palestina?

rimworld

>>1909360
We have a whole bunch of those for Civ4Col
>>
>>1909772
visual feedback is important for a game and this one just looks ugly and feels like shit compared to the game it's trying to copy
>>
Gonna try my shot in the dark here. Hope some oldfag civ players can help me out. I've been trying to find the right CIV game for ages that I played around 15 years ago.

It was a port of the game to phone, one of those old button phones. Basically normal civ, but the premise is that you could select the planet you wanted to colonize and then you had to compete against other colonizing factions up until you built up to space age and then you could claim that planet for your space faction. Don't remember the name, just that it was fairly basic civ progression. Obviously 2d. Someone please help

Revival or Revival 2, java game for pre-touch screen phones, made by Russian dev Herocraft. Great game. I had lot of fun with it playing on my sony Ericsson W890i phone.
>>
>>1911983
thanks, yeah I played it on a sony ericsson too. It was really chill.
>>
>>1909480
>who aren't worth the trouble IMO.
Feel free to have a wrong opinion.
Plus the actual goal of picking French is having all native aggression penalties halved, no matter the difficulty, meaning you can leave natives alone and do your thing without any issue
>>
>>1911858
>Game with clear-cut interface and readable fonts is bad, because... um.... it's not pixelated like the original! Meaning I value "muh sovl" over the things I supposedly talk about.
Way to go, champ!

???
are you the dev of this shit? you're trying too much to defend your garbage java fangame mr. pajeet
>>
freecol looks like shit because it's made by soulless freetard commies, not because clear and readable interfaces are bad
>>
Freecol is tad soulless, it would be cool to see something like simply old Col upscaled to be less pixelated.

Great non-argument, champs
And the funniest part is the only people always bitching about soul are zoomers, an entire generation of clueless consumers.

>game ends up 100x better and more fun than any of the modern 300gb slop that requires 15th gen CPU and card with 32gb ram
Its a fucking shame what happened to this industry.

You can play the game without the approve of others.
