I've paid sale price for this game and I definitely got my money's worth. This is the first game I've tried of the series, so I can't compare/contrast of the others, but I have to say its a good play. However, the community has a way around the multiplayer through the use of third party programs that allow players to join games through their Lan. However, you have to weigh bugs, your patience, and an absent multiplayer(online) into playability of the game. Not only does it provide objective based rules, there is a sandbox to try out new things for single and multiplayer. It lightly delivers an RPG feel, has a great economic system, and unique way of going about the game from a military point of view. If your more into killing, return to C&C or SC.

If your more into killing, return Bottom-Line I would only and very much recommend this game to anyone who looks for an RTS that isn't trendy. Ironically, one of them was a fellow patron, my greatest competition who held office title and hated me for spying on her.Bottom-Line I would only and very much recommend this game to anyone who looks for an RTS that isn't trendy. Unfortunately, I got infected by the plague (Black Death swept over Venice.) and died at the age of 30, leaving my wife as the widow and the only successor to my dynasty.īy then, 2 out of the 12 competing dynasties had died out (their last member died without having a successor). I played as a patron in Venice and started a bakery shop because hey everyone needs to eat! I got married at the age of 28 and opened a public house (like a restaurant) for my wife two years later. There are four "classes" and each has multiple career options: patrons, craftmen (trademen), scholars, and rogues. Politics exist but you must have strong finance to make your way up. It revolves more around business sim than politics though. The game plays like Crusader King at micro level. There are many game modes but I always play "Dynasty" so the game won't end unless the last member of your dynasty dies. Mind you all the "expansions" are stand-alone and has all the added features. I have been playing Renaissance because that's the latest release.


I got addicted to the Guild (Europa 1400) years ago and finally bought Guild 2 series during Steam sales in February but didn't play it til last night. Hello guys, could not find any topic dedicated for this game, so here it goes.
