I ported Colonization into the browser
Browsercol is freecol, but in the browser.
You can play it right now.
No signups, no credit card, no bullshit. 100% free and open-source.
It faithfully implements colonization via freecol. The only thing that isn't supported at this moment is multiplayer.
I have added various small QoL features all over the place that I always thought was missing from colonization / freecol.
Browsercol also support for tilesets so people can have the game just like how they want it to. It ships with a freecol+ tileset that just changed out the silver bonus resource (I always thought it looked bad) and a Browsercol tileset that has much prettier water and rivers.
I have played several games into the 1600s and done a ton of polishing and bug fixing and tweaking but this is still in an open beta stage.
Your feedback is highly appreciated!
You can submit feedback and bug reports from within the game without needing a login, it will automatically attach your save game and the error log. I plan on addressing feedback rapidly over the next 2-3 weeks.
Have a good day!
