It has been edited chaotically (oh, it doesn't work like that, edit, edit. This document may contain errors, and strategies different from those suggested may be successful too. 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.
