Yeah... I haven't played Colonization but it's by Sid Meier, was made after Civ, looks a lot like Civ, and I had heard it's a Civ-style game, while Conquest of the New World is unique... still, I'd put them in the same subgenre (if you call it that) of strategy games. Both are New World Colonization games... some more recent ones in that category would be the two Anno games... Anno 1603AD and ... um, Anno 1492AD? I don't remember, I haven't played them... :)
CotNW was cool, though. I didn't play it a huge amount but it was fun... exploring to find the discoveries (and naming them), the city-building which wasn't complex but had strategy with building placement and city size limits, the simplistic-but-fun battle system... :)
