When you are asked for a nationality, take the mouse pointer to the lower part
of the screen, just under Spain or so, and a red square will appear. Click on it
and you will play as a country called "Spring". This is very usefull because as 
Spring you can control the four leading nations at the same time. 
(doesn`t work in version 3.0)


CheatMode:
---------
Got some additional cheat info in colonization. These are things you can't find in 
the cheat menu.

After you typed ALT + win You can use the following heys.

SHIFT + 1  Finishes all buildings in a city up to the maximum. 
           If you do this ofter you can have a warehouse in 
           which you store thousands of items
SHIFT + 4  Adds a thousand cash to your treasury
SHIFT + 5  Select any good (guns?) and this will give you 100 extra
SHIFT + 6  Select any good and it will take 100 of it In a city,
SHIFT + T  a new colonist is added.
SHIFT + S  specializes the selected colonist tothe task he is 
           doing. for instance a statesman becomes an elder 
           statesman.

If you're up to some real exciting game open the "names.txt" file. There you can 
alter nearly anything, like the cost of recruiting units and the appearance of the
founding fathers. Put Cortes to 20 in the first position and you'll be able to 
recruit him as the first one. You can also alter the harvest you get from several
terrains etc., so you can for example gather 50 ore from sea water if you want. 
The opponents have the same advantages however so be carefull how to use it. And
of course,you should back up you original names.txt first.
