Otherwise Colonization is absolutely pointless. The options should be Colonize OR Plunder.
Good post, +rep, wait for it wait for it...one day the plunder option will come.

What form it will have? I dont know.....but they are working on it.

Personally I am very happy to wait and give them all the time they need...hopefully so the mechanic is well balanced and bug free as possible. It is crutial that they get it right.

Your strategy for colonies also has counters, Like I said there are a MULTITUDE of options in Age II for outside the box thinking. Thats why I love it.
