I love Civ V (and loved Civ 2 back then), somehow I never played Col. Just installed Civ IV Colonization and the weekly build of FreeCol :)

You can get the original Colonization DRM-free from GOG for $6: https://www.gog.com/game/sid_meiers_colonization

It's worth it -- the Civ IV DLC version didn't really capture the magic of the original, and FreeCol has been a work-in-progress for a long time. The '90s graphics of the original can take a little getting used to, but the gameplay is still extremely solid. I keep a copy on my laptop to play when I'm stuck waiting around in airports.
