Colonies at War 12+

Amazing Game!

I’ve been playing the French And Indian War game for two years now and I stumbled upon this game. I really love this game and the multitude of countries you can choose from. I was not expecting Zulu, Madhist, Aboriginal or Polynesian to be in this amazing historical game, as they are usually left out in other games, so it was nice to see. One thing I really like about John Gregory’s games is the soundtrack that plays in game. It is also found in the French And Indian War game. The soundtrack is amazing, soothing and relaxing. Thank you John Gregory for producing such an excellent strategy game!

Great War game!!! Couple of suggestions

This is a Great War game and I’ve been hooked on it for the past few weeks. Great way to pass time and easy to get the hang of after playing for a bit and if you can be bothered to read the instructions.

Would you ever considering including a different game mode with the sole objective of eliminating every other nation present on the map? As opposed to economic or power victory.

Would also be great to see the diplomacy system developed a bit. E.g to receive gifts from allies, having the option to request that your ally stops supporting another nation. Would also be great to have some joint war mechanics with allies. E.g proposing joint invasion of particular territories or entire nations. Requesting troops to assist you in war and a system to dispute territory with your ally and maybe potentially purchase disputed territory. Personally I’d love to see additions of that kind!

Lastly, I would LOVE some kind of custom game option. Where you choose what nations are involved and what their starting territories would be. Would also be great to be able to set up existing alliances from the start of a game or change the starting tech levels of different nations. Maybe even the possibility to add your own custom nations strictly to custom games?? Personally id be willing to pay for this type of expansion, the existing paid map packs aren’t all that appealing in my opinion.

Thanks for making a great game and I hope to see more!

Developer Response ,

Hi, Thanks for your review. If you want to continue to conquer the world you can, the game does not end at the victory page. and you should be able to continue past 250 turns. I kind of get bored with the game once I am in an unstoppable position so I have never owned the world. A lot of your requests are available with the use of contracts, but I understand that cost money. I am considering adding a 'design you own scenario' or game builder to this game in the future, but it would be a bit of work. At the moment I am concentrating on my new WW2 game. Thanks for your input. John G

Great but found a bug

I’ve had this game for a few months and have really enjoyed it but recently I have found a bug where the game crashes after a turn whether that’s the first turn I make or the 5/6th turn it will crash and I will have to redo my turn all over again.
I have really enjoyed the game and other than this the game is great. If the developer see this please can you fix this?
