- Colonization (Sid Meier`s)
-
- 1. As soon as you land to survey the continent, it's imperative that
- you find the hidden treasures before anyone else. Quickly send out a
- scout to do the searching.
- 2. The best way to maximize your colony score is to declare
- independence on or before 1776 and win before 1800.
- 3. Your colonies should be just a few squares between sites because
- you'll always need to move supplies between them.
- 4. Your ships will have access to a port if you locate near the edge
- of the map.
- 5. If you attack a world power, be sure that it will retaliate.
- 6. You'll need to be friendly with at least one of your world rivals
- because you'll need their help when you declare independence.
- 7. Try create a strong army and navy at the onset of the game.
- 8. The most important items that your colonies produce are liberty
- bells and crosses.
- 9. Use pioneers to plow the plains and savannas. The food production
- goes way up with an expert farmer, and brings you more colonists
- quicker.
- 10. If there's any water showing among trees, that map square is only
- good for food.
- 11. Ensure that there is an armory in every town that has a skilled
- carpenter.
- 12. Build a blacksmith's shop in every town that is producing ore or
- you'll have a continuous shortage of tools.
- 13. Attack as soon as you have four or five dragoon units.
- 14. Concentrate your attack on one unit so that you capture the enemy
- colonist before the end of your turn.
- 15. Important: before any warfare begins, go to game option and switch
- the "end of turn" option on. This will let you fortify as many
- soldiers as you want before the enemy's turn.
- 16. Make sure you have a good road network because dragoons can cover
- a distance of nine map squares and still attack effectively.
