As your colonies grow larger and larger, you inevitably encounter native populations and are confronted with competing imperial powers from the Old World. You have no knowledge of what lies ahead of your ship, so you must explore until you find a suitable spot to lay down your first colony. In the beginning of the game you are given a trading/exploration ship and a small group of colonists. The game begins with the European discovery of the Americas (1500) and continues until approximately the time of the American Revolution (1800). You face many of the same challenges that faced colonial organizers of the time-competition from other Old World powers, strange native cultures, the problems of establishing profitable trade programs, and the problems of organizing an army from a rag-tag band of colonists.
