@gualixo that sounds like almost entirely new graphic set not to mention XIX century units (Belgium exists since about 1830s). Sure ability to play in that era is a great idea, but it probably won't happen before Free Col 2, there might be at least a decent Africa map/scenario coming in forseable future, though.
@hutzli Back to the new graphic set I think, that such more cartoonisch graphics...

I'll never understand that... do so much work just to give it up and bury fruits of your work forever? I can understand that SweCol team cmay no longer have time to work on the game but it's unbelievable that they would loose interest in Colonization totally and completely, that they wouldn't even visit other sites once in a while.
Did they die in some tragic accident or sth...?!

To add more professional feel to the game, I have prepared some icons ilustrating the main stats in the game; Gold, Discovery Points, Tax and year:

As well as icons to illustrate Rebels/Tories in a Colony:

I've got a question; why make up our own game if original Col offers a cheat that is perfect in it's shamelessness. The MoW were just appearing out of thin air 1 turn from the Declaration of Independence 1- 2 sqares from the colonies and it was virtually impossible to stop them. (I guess it was to signify that the REF were really there allthe time, watching and patrolling the area as well as...

Just a sec.... Forgive me for splitting hairs, apparently I didn't understand how switch between buildings in the newest Free Col works, but while reading mpope's answer a though occured to me. Any chance of merging "this bug" with the Stockade option (That could help keep difficulty even, as well as create a more Col 1 faithful ruleset option for those who want it)? - For the record, I'm not...

Yeah, I'm an optimist myself, but that's pushing it :)
Very glad you made that report. I had a similar cas, but I lost the save file somehow, during the change of computer. I could probably find a save with about 4 lumberjacks in a row, though.

It is an example of a situation where Free Col sharply deviates from COl 1.
Decrease of population didn't stop building construction once it begun in Col 1. Somebody will now pop in and say that it was a bug; Perhaps, but in Col 1 you could also switch between buildings without loosing hammers, or store hammers before sellecting a building. The entire game can't be a bug.
(Civ 4 Col utilizes...

It is an interesting idea to give eavery tribe a general opinion about Europeans; so if Spanish for example brake peace with Arravaks, and burn some of their camps, the next visitor instead of peace offering gets a message like "We are already acquainted with the treacherous ways of Pale Faces, blah,blah,blah, wrath of our warriors, begone!
But Natives Do see the difference, otherwise if a...

I know, we have lots of threads dedicated to Col 2. That's the beuty of Free Col. But I was taking minly about the different projects scattered around the Internet, some of which can help Free Col, and not only as source of ideas.
For example [Coltoo][1] which is a open source project, abandoned for at least 5 yoears now, has a full set of 2D Col graphics. (So if there's anyone willing to...

That is what I used to call the many Colonization related remake and sequel fan projects of all shapes, colours and sizes which have been and still are appearing all over the Internet.
Only on Sourceforge I was able find some 20 independent project dedicated to this goal, most never reach playable game stage, but some live long enough to come up with some promissing code and graphics. Free...
