And the army of the King, sent to kick your arse when you try to go independent, is a juggernaut for which you'd better be ready. That's the really great thing about Colonization - that it goes out with a bang.
Unlike in Civilization where all too often thejgame finishes with a screen saying everyone's flown off to Alpha Centuri, in Colonization things come to a close with the mother of all battles, when your King sends a twatting great big army over to smash the crap out of you as soon as you dare mention the word. In the end, Colonization is not quite as awesomely mindblowingly epic as Civ IV, but it's not far off. As in history, movies, books and television, the poor old Native Americans get short thrift in Colonization.
They start as masters of a continent, living in a state of innocence among its Edenic splendour. They end having been shot, burned and starved out of anywhere worth living, left to rot in the deserts and swamps.
You too can take the traditional route and wipe them all out, stealing their land and treasure as you go. Or you take a more gentle route, becoming their allies, learning their skills, buying their land, establishing religious missions in their tee-pees, and plying them with booze and cigars. Either way, they are screwed. Sadly there's no option to play as the Navajo, or another Native American nation, and drive the white devils back into the sea. Browse games Game Portals.

There are various ways of modding Civ4, and each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. Below there are general descriptions of the four major ways to edit and customize Civilization 4, ordered approximately in order of increasing complexity and learning curve. The WorldBuilder is fairly intuitive and the interface remains essentially the same as in Civ4, allowing for individuals to make quick changes or more complex scenarios.
You can read more about the WorldBuilder and download a manual in this thread. Simple changes, like giving a unit more movement points or making terrain have a different food yield, can be accomplished with XML, as can more difficult things like creating new civilizations. For more about XML and modding in general, consult this guide to Civ4. Python refers to the more powerful language that is used by the game to control many things, including the interface, advisor screens, and map generation.
Python can be used to create totally new features that are not in the default game. Naturally, this is the most challenging form of modding, as it requires a more complex understanding of programming, but you can read an overview and instructions regarding the SDK on the forums.
