Looks like they gave the old Civ IV engine a big facelift, the water in particular.

I wonder if it would be possible for some enterprising modder to port these enhanced graphics back to the original Civ IV?

I wonder if this could break new ground, if this is a succes. Could we see more stand alone expansions?

Perhaps Civ 4: Final Frontier, Civ 4: NextWar, Civ 4: Fall from Heaven, Civ 4: Rome?

I would love to see a few of those.

If this is a commercial succes they may be tempted to do another smaller expansion for the regular game.

Read the article before posting. It's not a Mod, it's built from the ground-up using the base Civ4 engine (which to remind you is GameBryo).

Quote from article:
Conceived from the ground up to take advantage of the Civilization IV engine, Colonization will be available fall 2008 exclusively for Games for Windows®.

Why did you just quote exactly what I said whilst telling me to read the article?

Just what do you think taking a game engine and modifying it or a new title is?

I do admit, it looks a lot like civ 4 just with more flexible borders and no limits on city placement.

So that makes 99% of all computer games mods according to you. Because sure as hell development companies don't re-invent the engine every time. I'm sure you don't believe development studios don't use their own code over and over for other projects.

Not unless we see another expanison.

I think a stand alone expansion is brilliant idea. If this one prooves to be a succes, they should make another.

Then have a warlords scale XP for Civ4 that would use up some of the pretty and usefull stuff in the two stand alones while improving upon/fixing espionage, space victory, UN/AP, state property and a slightly better modern/future era. That way civ 4 would be complete and we could look forward to civ 5 in late 2009, early 2010

The civ4 engine has a lot of life left in it. And Civ4 is far from a spent game, its in many respects similar to Civ2, Civ5 will be a let down unless enough time passes for new ideas to emerge and for alternative games like Civ:Rev run their course to test new possiblites.

I'm intrigued, it looks cool. Though at the moment I will admit it does like a little bit too much like the type of mod you would find in a standard Civ 4 expansion; instead of a full game in and of itself.

Though it is of course hard to tell at the moment based off just a press release and a handful of screenshots. I hope we will be seeing some kind of preview soon.

I never played the original Colonization, makes me want to track down a copy.
