Civilization 4 Colonization - Native Tribes Screenshot

Civilization 4: Colonization PC Game - More explanation screenshots

 

The native tribes in Civilization 4 Colonization computer game, are minor civilizations and will not make settlers and expand. Their villages are already in the new world, and we are actually the invaders. But we may play without fighting them. The game is to oppose the king, and the native villages can be very useful with Defensive Pacts. If we build our colonies around them, pay for the land we occupy, and attract some key Founding Fathers, the Indian tribes may love us and bring gifts from time to time.

First we can trade with them and avoid the insane taxes from the King. Second we may place missionaries to convert the natives, giving bonus free colonists. And third, we can train the gathering professions only from them. There is no Tobacco Planter specialist in Europe during these times. Here on the screenshot, the Cuzco village can train our free colonists into Expert Cotton Planters. The most useful are the farmer trainers.

Civilization 4 Colonization - Starting Revolution Screenshot

Civilization 4: Colonization PC Game - More explanation screenshots

By starting a Revolution in Civilization 4 Colonization computer game, we enter the last stage in the game, where we declare independence and fight the king's army.

First, to be able to do so,  we need more than 50% Liberty Bells. Liberty Bells are acquired by the elder statements colonists, which work in the liberty buildings in our cities, like the Printing Press.

Second, we need a good army. To the left is our army reserve, and to the right is the king's army. Right now it will be a suicide to to begin the revolution. We need a lot more free colonists and muskets. In general, when it comes to it, we will want to destroy the ships while they transport the armies, so the defining factor is the warships. A lot of warships will compensate the less foot units.

And third, when the revolution starts, we no longer can trade with Europe if we change to democracy. so we will need at least a few native tribes left to trade.When the revolution starts, the king will begin sending its forces in waves. We need a lot of dragoons and healers in adjacent squares on hills.

Another important aspect of Civilization 4: Colonization computer game is the Europe Dock. The dock will be available until the revolution for the independance from the European monarchy begin. After that we can trade only with the natives and the rival colonists.

With the docks we can trade all available resources with Europe.

Also, from time to time an eager to go to the new lands immigrants will appear. The rate of their appearance will be faster if we have more crosses(bottom of the screen). And third, we can buy ready educated specialist from Europe to work in our industry(top right on the screen). But some agriculture specialist can not be bought, only the native Indians can train a colonist in Sugar Planter for example.

Civilization 4: Colonization - Maximum Level Veteran Dragoon Screenshot

Civilization 4: Colonization PC Game - More explanation screenshots

An important aspect of Civilization 4: Colonization game is the army units development. The quantity of the troops is important too. Here on the screenshot we can see the eastern shores of the new lands are lined with soldiers. They seem ready for the revolution, but the other rivals in the continent are still a threat. Either way they too will try to approach from the seas with ships. The best one of this huge army is the insanely upgraded veteran dragoon. We should have 2-3 of this if possible and we must keep them alive at all costs. They will lead the army and heal them on rests.

This dragoon have two special upgrades(a general attached and inspiration bonus) and 12 regular upgrades. This is 3 withdrawal upgrades, that give 90% chance to retreat if the odds in battle turn out badly. 6 strength upgrades that give another +75% unit strength. And 3 healing upgrades for maximum  first aid efficiency. Though such a unit is not needed if we are not playing on higher difficulties and without loads.
