Founding Fathers (Civ4Col)

Here is a complete list of all Founding Fathers in Civilization IV: Colonization.

All Founding Fathers except those in the Political category require a combination of points to recruit. Exploration fathers require both Political points and Exploration points, Religious require Political and Religion points, etc.
