Game options

If you decide to start a single-player game or a game server, you will be able to choose which nation to play and which colour to use. The map generator optionsmap generator options allow you to load a map, or to set several parameters that will influence the size and terrain of a randomly generated map. FreeCol includes a large map of the Americas, which can be selected by clicking on the map icon.

The game options proper allow you to select several parameters that influence game play, such as non-standard rules, victory conditions and the difficulty of the game.

If you join a multi-player game, you can also choose a nation and colour, but other players might already have selected your preferred nation.
