It ran on MS Dos...<br /><br />Looks like they have it for less than 2.50$ American. A hair more reasonable than the 20 bucks on steam if that changes anything.<br /><br />http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/sid_meiers_colonization#s_3<br /><br />Lukashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05779189363430537747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-50758485011809214662012-09-21T07:25:58.119-06:002012-09-21T07:25:58.119-06:00I haven't played Colonization.

No doubt it would add some wrinkles ... but I don't know if I would buy the game just for that purpose.Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-6904719518772559742012-09-21T00:17:56.842-06:002012-09-21T00:17:56.842-06:00Alexis, here's a question, have you ever playe...Alexis, here's a question, have you ever played Sid Meier's Colonization? <br /><br />It has interesting crossovers in that it's a lot more individual resource evolution and production based and basically is at a stationary tech level.<br /><br />Not all things should be included, but some of it's gameplay features may be applicable.<br /><br />And if you wish to play for pleasure and haven't yet, I recommend hunting down the original and NOT the civ 4 version.Lukashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05779189363430537747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-84477366825563940212012-09-18T11:33:40.282-06:002012-09-18T11:33:40.282-06:00See, I'm glad we're talking about this.

I just assumed we'd hop off the boat in Koufonisia and the local populace would shower us in the coins of their owed back-rent. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-37563617047024277452012-09-18T11:16:11.612-06:002012-09-18T11:16:11.612-06:00Is a good question - who is the tax collector?
I ...Is a good question - who is the tax collector?<br /><br />I think despite recent uninformed posts about my need to make tables for pregnant farm animals, it really isn't that necessary. I can give you a name for him, but I think his "cut" can be presumed and not reflect upon the party's radar. I could later create a small adventure based on the tax collector stealing from the party - but until the party imposes perhaps one of their own absolutely reliable fanatic henchmen (Sophia, say) as the landlord, that's the chance they take.<br /><br />Still, the question comes up - and I was going to have Lukas remember this - if the Archbishop has been dead since Sept 13, who is collecting the taxes NOW? And where are they being sent?Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-38152761488506330072012-09-18T09:04:07.709-06:002012-09-18T09:04:07.709-06:00I like the broad strokes.

Is there any infrastructure the party is expected to maintain as landowners? Does this come out of the 1/4th or the 3/4ths the party doesn't see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
