Black and white. That game back then didn't deserve the rating it got. Anyways IGN PC is a lot tougher on rating games so if it got this high of a rating then it has to be good. There are no PC games rated 10/10 but there are several dozen console games rated 10/10(most don't deserve that high of a score. Like GTAIV is not a perfect game. Maybe someone is paying them

) This is the 7th highest rated PC game at IGN of all time.

Apparently it has as high of a rating as Star Craft.

Even then, there are some short term goals for the English. If they can strike out against the French in Canada and take out the Cherokee in the south, the entire colonial protectorate, from the Carolinas up through Maine, will merge with the British empire.

Oh dear lord. This is incredible.

This might explain why the colonials have appeared as if they are directly controlled by the British in some screen shots. Clearly the AI had achieved that condition and merged the colonies with its empire.

It is going to be a long painful wait until I can get a PC with enough muscle to play this game.

I'm sure that will make a bunch of people with powerhouse machines happy.
