![]() ![]() ![]() Back during it’s release, it was plagued with two problems. That brings me to Colonization, the stepchild of the Civ4 brand. Moreover, mods are continually released for Civilization 4 and Colonization daily, adding to this count. The latter of those two is already an old dog having been released 4 years ago. As of writing this, Civilization has over three times as many mods for it than Civ 5 and Civ 6 combined. If you look at mod count in CivFanatics, I’m apparently not alone in this. ![]() But after years of practice, I can easily say this engine is one of the easiest and most forgiving of the franchise to mod. I was a big Civ3 modder back in the day, and I found the leap to Civ4 daunting at first as I adjusted from sprites to nif’s. They have truly turned a rather obscure and independently released modification of Civ4 and turned it into a full capable game that competes against other titles being released today.Ĭivilization 4 was the first truly 3D version of the Civilization franchise. I have a lot of respect for these modders who have worked to keep this updated, and are willing to take community recommendation (a feat in itself, I can tell you from experience) and implement them. At the time I write this, the latest update was on April 23rd and includes 54 updates in the last update alone. Today, I want to specifically talk about a mod for this game called We the People. I recommend to anyone who enjoyed the old Civ4 games and own a copy of Colonization to revisit some nostalgia. At the time of writing this, there are a few mods still in active development which have updated the game. Despite being released over a decade ago, the game continues to enjoy a cult-like following from its mod community that has kept the original concept alive by modding in aspects that keep it in a modern state. Behind this simple concept is the Civilization 4 engine which allows for the significant amount of customization for which the franchise is well known. I also enjoy this game because of it’s simplicity in game play – you win the game winning a War of Independence and that’s it. Civ4: Colonization has been an on and off favorite of mine since its release in 2008. ![]()
