Greetings, all.
I just found out this site when I was doing a search for Colonization. I couldn't find any copies of Colonization so I thought I'd give it a shot online, and here I am. I just downloaded it, and I have a question or two for you guys.
I had Colonization for the Mac 10+ years ago, but unfortunately, the disc got screwed up somehow, so I couldn't play Colonization anymore until today. I finally got it running on my PC computer, and I'm looking forward to having some good nostalagia times.
The question I have, is I've been wondering if there is any way to extend the game cut-off year? I remember it was 1800 or 1850, but I was wondering if I could go for a longer game, such as extending the game to even 1900, 2000, 2100+. Wouldn't it be quite funny and interesting to have 1700's tech in 2100+ AD instead of lasers, spaceships, etc.
At any rate, if any of you know how I could extend the game cut-off to past 2000 or more, for a truly epic game, I'd be greatly grateful.
My other question is... is there a max number of colonies that I can build? I've played Civ 1, 2, and 3, and I've built 50 - 100 city empires. In Civ 3, the max number of cities is 512, I believe. Is there any similiar limit in Colonization? I'd like to try to build 20 - 30 colonies to make a nice, epic empire.
Any info on that would also be greatly appreciated.
