Anno series (no natives here, though)

Anno had natives. Or at least 1602 did, although they weren't particulalry useful unless they were your only source of tobacco or something.

you guys forgot FreeCol, remake of the original Colonization into java.

Alien Legacy is one of the more interesting ones, although it tends to get bogged down in planet exploration micromanagement (you have to fly a ship/probe/something across the different planets/moons/asteroids looking for things, searching every tile... Or maybe I was just feeling compelled to be thorough).

Reunion is another gem from early 90th.

It's pretty buggy though. Plus winning the game has some basis on chance.

Spoiler: Spoilery explanation of that (click to show/hide)

You have to defeat the Morgruls(the guys who continuously attack you until you do) quickly or else their homeworld becomes impossible to defeat. Literally. It's becomes a literal wall of cruisers(the biggest ship type) if you take enough time. And since discovering new systems is based on chance, it can take that long to find their homeworld.

You don't have to search every single time once you research the Warp Radio(which happens fairly early on). It'll show science resources and important sites with two different icons when you scan with it.

Damn, all these games are rather old. >: NO offence, gents.

Maybe someone should make a "Post what kind of games you are looking for" thread because there are so many "Games like X" threads on these forums that it's just not funny. I want to make another one, too.

That'd just make things confusing. This isn't exactly seeking a lost name where only 1-3 people will even have the slightest idea and post. Every request would get flooded by suggestions.
