I played the hell out of the original release, Europa 1400 - The Guild, and immediately followed up to buy The Guild 2 when it was released... and then released again with pirates... but have yet to get the latest installment, The Guild - Venice. An excellent geo-political/economic strategy game unlike pretty much anything else on the market. The AI is surprisingly tough, too. Thought you bribed the mayor enough to get that comfy position as (insert comfy position here to which there are plenty) only to discover one of your rival families bribed more than you... Just gotta play it. My only regret is not having ever played online with others. I wonder if we GOGgies can revive that? Hmmm...
