It is different. Unfortunately I have gotten rid of mine just recently
because I disliked it so much, I can't just quickly fire it up to refresh my 
memory, it was long enough ago that I don't remember what it was that pissed me 
off so much that I stopped playing it inside a week. 

I any event, I play freeciv, and I still enjoy that. It's as good as, or better 
than, the original Colonization (I'd play the original still but it has some 
graphic glitch that makes it not display properly on my screen). 

It's still in development, and it still has one or the other fault like very 
rarely hanging on the AI's turn, or it doesn't center on the current unit at 
times. Other than that it represents the spirit of the original better than 
that scripted version for Civ IV.

-P.
