I think that thanks to all this tiny pieces of historical info that are "published" in the "gazette" this game makes one feel just like it its real and one is a part of all that. I just love the game and I find it very hard to stop playing it. But there of course are drawbacks - uniforms - they are from XVIII century not XVI. ;) But I personally do not care. If someone is interested in the history of taming the native America, this game is a MUST. Howgh!
