I played the original Europa 1400 "The Guild" which was a bit buggy, and really wasn't fun to play because of the game crashing every 10 minutes or so. I've been playing Gold for awhile now, and it seems to be a little less buggy. It actually runs pretty good for me, online play still doesn't work worth a crap, but people say playing it on lan works O.K. I'm not sure because I haven't beenable to test it myself. With gold there are plenty of new items that will help you politicaly and revenge, or for your own well being. Also new professions, like the Traveling Entertainer, Tailor, and Graveyard Keeper. Which bring in good money from the start, especailly Graveyard Keeper and Traveling Entertainers. New building types, like the Magnificant palace with cannon tower, so on. Where you can make wizards potions that you can't sell, but come in handy. I'd say it's worth every penny. It's the best game to play when you have nothing to do basically, sit back kidnap some people, rob people, whatever.

I am really enjoying this game. Its a hard one which is why I like it so much. I was dissappointed that it did not come with a manual but I managed to get a pdf one online. I will probably get the rest of the Guild games once I master this one. I had some difficulty getting it to play on my 64bit Vista laptop but I did it. For those who might have the same problem try changing the compatibility mode check Windows XP and check the Dissable display Scaling on high DPI settings. That worked for me.
