Another New Colonization Gameplay Preview

In addition to the PC Gamer preview, there is now a Colonization preview on IGN as well. This article similarly focuses on various aspects of gameplay for Civilization IV: Colonization, especially the early game. While there are no new screenshots, it still is a good early indication of what this game will be like.
Quote:

Your task is to build an economy that supplies you with goods that can be packed away on the sailing ship and sent back to your mother country, where those goods can be sold for gold and where you can recruit fresh new units, like missionaries, settlers, specialists, and soldiers. You can also develop your own units in the New World, but it takes time to establish the necessary infrastructure to do so. Much of the game will involve this trade mechanism of the sailing ship going back and forth between New World and Old World.
