Colony (Civ3)

Colonies are built and maintained by a worker and enable exploitation of tradable resources that lie outside your territory. As with all tradable resources (strategic and luxury), you need a road connecting the colony to one of your cities to get the benefits of the resource. It is advised to protect a colony with a military unit, as barbarians and hostile civilizations can destroy a colony easily.
Note that colonies cannot be built in the desert.
