I'm pretty excited about this. Been reading about it online today and can't wait to get it.

EDIT: Preordered it today.

Colonization is an awesome game. I just hope I like this version as much as the original one...

Firaxis claim they have improved the AI; let's hope they mean in comparison to civ4 and not col.exe...

@shabba, you do know 'to improve' is marketing lingo for 'we randomly changed some stuff'. So it remains to be seen if things actually got better.

@paal: fixed that link, so you can all enjoy the save your eyesight mod again.

I know, hence the "...", which implies "OMG FIRAXIS SUCKS!!1! ". I do hope they improved AI, especially diplomacy. Still, I think col1 is still enjoyable, so col2 should be enjoyable if it is similar. But I hope the game is better. But they missed the opportunity to come up with a tech tree. That was what was missing in col1.

Does it have multiplayer support? Pitboss? It would be interesting to play the day it comes out or thereafter before anyone has played a SP game yet...

Interesting notion. However, the European and American release dates aren't the same (26th for Europe, 22nd for America).

How many turns per game? Perhaps if it is short enough, a game could get completed before the 1st patch, but I seriously doubt it.

I read somewhere that it's 300 turns for normal speed. So I doubt you'd be able to finish before the first patch.

26th is Friday, might could dicker around on gamespy that night since weekend is much easier to do for time zones and whatnot. Looks like it has about the same MP support as Civ4 after reading about it.
