Version 0.5.3 of FreeCol, a free/open-source Colonization clone, has been released.
The objective of the game is to colonize the New World. You start the game in 1492 with a vessel and some colonists. The goal is to build many colonies (with the help of Europe) so that you can live off the land after a while. Once the majority of the people are behind you, you can declare your independence. The King will then send over his forces from Europe and try to gain control over your colonies. If you survive the attack you've won the game.
Changes:
- The map size can now be chosen when starting a new game.
- It is now possible to give units goto orders when it is not your turn (multiplayer).
- The non-admin players are now able to view the current options (multiplayer).
- Chatting is now working properly.
- Tons of other bugfixes.
