Starting ore mining early is a good idea. Later you may also start selling horses, if you have too many. Sell everything else immediately, including ore (it's much more expensive than tools at this point, so it's counterproductive to process it).
Keep food, lumber, guns, tools and horses. Production per turn is going to be pretty low, but you will have a lot of them by the time you need them. Just because of losing a single population 2 colony in early 1500s, they may in year 1620 have only as much as they'd otherwise have already achieved by 1600.īuy some horses in Europe and get 2 horses in each of your colonies. By hurting computer players you delay their development by many years. Its point is not as much the value of what you just conquered, but significantly weakening one of the other powers. If someone else's colony is very close to you, and is undefended, think about getting 50 horses, equipping a Dragoon, and attacking him. Optionally, you can use the soldier for a quick attack.

Your priority should be deforesting colony square (usually +1 food, and free product changed from furs to something more valuable like cotton, sugar or ore), plowing or building a road on each used square (+1 food/product, +2 lumber/furs, but everything except food and lumber gets twice the bonus if used by a specialist), plowing each colony's central square (+1 food) and after that building roads between close colonies (distance 3-6, big projects should wait). Using pioneers for cutting trees, plowing and building roads will be a good idea as soon as you have some 5 colonists in the new world. He wouldn't be able to produce much more than he has to eat anyway, as he's a non-expert working on a non-plowed and probably forest terrain. Because the central square usually produces only 2 food units, you'd have to use one of the colonists as a farmer instead of doing something useful. You start with 2 colonists - a pioneer and a soldier. If you publish modified versions somewhere, I'd like to be informed, so we don't end with a lot of versions out of sync.

By the way the Colonizopedia contains a few really awful mistakes ( Expert Farmers/Fishermen mod is +2 not +3, minimum population required for some building is wrong etc.).
If you're interested in game mechanics, you'll need to crosscheck it with the Colonizopedia. This document also includes a description of major portions of the game mechanics, especially those that aren't described well in Colonizopedia. While I'm not aiming at that level of excellence with this document, I want to provide a good set of tips to enhance your gameplay. Master of Magic has a great one, and FreeCiv wiki is one of the best such documents for any game (FreeCiv is technically not one of the classics, but it's extremely close to Civilization I and II in gameplay). I'm writing this document, because Colonization seems to be the only of the classic strategy games without a good FAQ.
