Minor powers info

[edit]

Without a good reliable source discussing how these powers were 'left out' of the game, commenting on them constitutes original research. Historical articles about those powers doesn't address this game (and article) directly and would seem to me to be WP:SYNTH. DP76764 (Talk) 20:28, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

reworded the portugal section. Gamespot's article did note that Portugal's removal was of note.Oldag07 (talk)
from the gamespot article: "Four colonies aren't much to choose from, and the Portuguese are a notable omission. The Italians made the rounds. Heck, even Germany gave colonization a shot in Venezuela. The New World was anyone's game in the 1600s, and it seems that having only four countries to choose from is a bit limiting." http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/sidmeierscivilizationivcolonization/news.html?sid=6193071 Oldag07 (talk) 00:33, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Looks good. Given the quote, we might be able to expand the statement to address 'minor powers' (the lack thereof) in general; but perhaps not mentioning more specific examples. DP76764 (Talk) 02:49, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Clearly Italy, Germany and Belgium are minor powers. But Portugal isn't. Note that it was the first nation to colonize both in America, Africa and even Asia (and also the last to loose its overseas possessions. And a distinction is clearly to be made —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.80.209.159 (talk) 02:59, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rename/move article

[edit]

I suggest moving the article to Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization since that is the game's full title. SharkD (talk) 01:28, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seems reasonable, a similar action was taken on Sid Meier's Colonization. Oldag07 (talk) 06:20, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- BTW, you might want to look at Help:Moving a page. there is a template that should be posted on the article. Oldag07 (talk) 06:34, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is moved Oldag07 (talk) 19:20, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No. Is it Sid Meier's Civilization IV? This was discussed months ago in the Civ IV page. Why would you have this be Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization and not have it Sid Meier's Civilization IV? If you want to change the name, you'd better convince everyone at Civ IV to change its name to Sid Meier's Civilization IV, because it isn't going to fly. You'd also have to change the names of the two other expansions, too. (ie. Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword?) PS. It shouldn't be Sid Meier's Colonization to begin with, because there's no other Colonization game. The only reason you use the maker's name in a title is to differentiate it - see SimGolf and Sid Meier's SimGolf. JAF1970 (talk) 22:10, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
More discussion has occured here. SharkD (talk) 01:42, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removing Civ Tables/Trivial Lists

[edit]

This is being discussed in the Civ:V article and likely to have ramifications for this previous incarnation's article too. Rather than tread the same ground over please join the debate; Talk:Civilization_V#Removal_of_tables_of_Civilizations to see if we can't reach a consensus.-Oosh (talk) 12:12, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mods

[edit]

Can the modding community be mentioned in the article, maybe in the reception section? Because my reception of the game was very poor, since its release I played it once, was disappointed and didn't touched it again until I was recently introduced to The Authentic Colonization MOD, which IMHO is exactly what the original game was about and what this one should have been. I don't know how WP notability works, but as far as fans of the franchise and gameplay the modding community put this game on the map.--84.111.101.105 (talk) 03:21, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Generally the answer would be 'no, niche communities and their opinions are not notable', barring quality sourcing of course. DP76764 (Talk) 04:10, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
