FreeCol
Open source remake of the old Colonization
The FreeCol team aims to create an Open Source version of Colonization (released under the GPL). At first we'll try to make an exact clone of Colonization. The visuals will be brought up to date with more recent standards but will remain clean, simple and functional. Certain new 'features' will be implemented but the gameplay and the rules will be exactly the same as theoriginal game. . Examples of modern features are: an isometric map and multiplayer support.
This clone will be developed incrementally and result in FreeCol 1.0.0 which will be an almost exact Colonizationclone. Incremental development basically means that we'll add features one at a time. This allows us to have a running program at all times and also to release an unfinished but working game oncein a while.
Once FreeCol 1.0.0 is finished we'll start working towards FreeCol 2.0.0. FreeCol 2 will go beyond the original Colonization and will have many new features, it will be an implementationof our (and our users') image of what Colonization 2 would have been.
freecol is a game in the spirit of Civilization but taking place in a colonial background. Colonize the new world, build towns, trade or fight with natives and other European civilizations, trade with your homeland until you're ready to fight for your independence !
