	good game! posted by setreset1 @ 141.108.19.101 on Mar 15 2010 9:47 AM
Smooth. Very loyal to the original while updating graphics and interface. Some (few, minor) annoying features. Fun, just like the original.

Very nice game:) It takes a while to load(java) but then it's ok. However, I don't know why sometimes my turn is skipped. Tutorial should be much extended... I hope I won't have a reason to complain about v. 1.0.0;)

Re: err... posted by Anonymous @ 24.10.183.2 on Feb 9 2008 4:05 PM   Ah yes, this problem I came across a little while back. It is a problem with recent release of xorg. Novell released a patch for this that has since been incorporated into openSUSE. For now you can run this before you play the game: export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=true   [Reply]   Re: err... posted by marduk @ 78.8.6.199 on Feb 10 2008 10:15 AM Thanks! It works.   [Reply]

I've tried to play this game few months ago, and it was extremely slow: is it any better now?;)

Re: speed posted by Anonymous @ 129.177.138.109 on Sep 20 2007 9:43 PM   I guess so.. try it out.. They fixed a lot on the speed-part   [Reply]   Re: speed posted by nath @ 88.72.212.88 on Sep 26 2009 4:35 PM I just tried 0.8.1 and that was so slow that it was unplayable.   [Reply]

	slavery posted by Anonymous @ 87.189.34.175 on Jul 18 2007 10:57 PM
will this game also feature slavery
[Reply]
Re: slavery posted by Anonymous @ 80.223.73.171 on Jul 18 2007 11:58 PM   probably not (unless you consider indentured servants, criminals and indian converts slaves) as original Colonization did not include them. Not that there would be much use for them either as you usually end up with more colonists than you can effectively manage or find use for (in my current game I have set up two colonies just to eliminate the excess colonists [I have some 100+, have starved to death another 50-100(yay concentration camps :P)] and have more than 50 proffessional that I can't figure use for just sitting around. To make it worse, my colonists are breeding like rabbits :P generatin roughtly one extra colonist per turn).   [Reply]   Re: slavery posted by Anonymous @ 24.84.205.13 on Sep 1 2007 2:54 AM   Will there be smallpox infected blankets?   [Reply]

I am running Mac OS X 10.4.9; anytime I click on a drop down box, the screen becomes black and the system locks up. If I run "java -showversion", here is what is displayed: java version "1.5.0_07" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_07-164) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_07-87, mixed mode, sharing) Anything I'm doing wrong, or could it be a bug? Cheers.

Re: FreeCol posted by Anonymous @ 121.45.48.181 on Mar 31 2007 2:12 PM   I have the same problem on Mac OSX10.4.9   [Reply]   Re: FreeCol posted by Anonymous @ 62.101.126.216 on Apr 12 2007 12:07 PM   I have the exact same problem   [Reply]   Re: FreeCol posted by Anonymous @ 131.217.6.7 on Apr 22 2007 8:21 PM   Yeah, the game currently has a number of issues with Mac OSX. If you run it with the --windowed option it is at least playable :)   [Reply]   Re: FreeCol posted by Anonymous @ 137.194.32.33 on Jun 6 2007 10:34 PM   Mac OS X.4.9 on a Titanium 667. The CVS 0.6.2 version works just fine on my old machine (6 years old).   [Reply]

	very nice artwork posted by moewe2 @ 77.177.177.112 on Mar 18 2007 8:31 AM
This game comes along with a nice artwork and smart new ways of handling. Some features are still missing, but - at the point of view of a user - I can say that most of the work is done.
