1849: Gold Edition
Description
"1849: Gold Edition" combines the base game "1849" plus the "1849: Nevada Silver" and "Epilogue: After the Gold Rush" content packs.
1849 is a city management game set during the California Gold Rush. Your task is to build towns, populate them with workers, and make sure that they are housed, fed, and entertained. You’ll have to manage and coordinate extensive production and trade networks to make sure your towns thrive.
1849: Nevada Silver expands on 1849’s simulation gameplay to provide more challenge on a bustling new frontier:
- Six new Nevada city scenarios, from frontier outposts to bustling boom towns, plus sandbox mode
- Train-based trading system adds a new strategic dimension
- New buildings, mines, and resources based on the industry and technology of the era
The Epilogue presents two final scenarios, taking place in the period after the gold rush, as the people of California attempted to forge a new identity in a state that went through an irreversible transformation.
"1849 is a neat city builder which works well within its theme and is quite satisfying to play if you enjoy city-builders."
- Lena LeRay, IndieGames.com
"1849 seems to be an accurate simulator in terms of its focus on 1850s city building. It's also a compelling and, at times, highly challenging strategy game."
- Chris Priestman, KillScreen Daily

- A campaign mode that traces the development of the Gold Rush from mining camps to bustling cities. Each city scenario presents players with unique starting conditions, victory goals, and obstacle events.
- Sandbox mode with a procedurally-generated map for your location, based on geography (from the Pacific coast to the Sierra Nevada mountains), precipitation, resource availability, and starting lot size.
- Vivid old west towns with buildings lining the streets directly inspired by California’s Gold Country.
- Over 50 resources that players can dig up, farm, refine or manufacture as they build complex towns and cities.

Too expensive for what it is
Charming graphics, but very simple game mechanics with a very limited freedom. Nothing compared to the great Sierra-games (Caesar 3, Pharaoh, Zeus, Emperor) with their replayability and variety. It was fun to play on the first four or five maps, but it's very repetitive and gets boring very soon for me. Too expensive in my opinion.

Not a GoG, This belongs on Bigfish.
I bought this through Steam when it came out. I enjoyed it, it is simplistic and repetitive but I enjoyed it. I doubt I'd every play it again though. I suppose I was just looking for anything remotely close to the old Seirra games. That said, I agree with the other reviews here. Too expensive, too causal to appeal to classic city builders and simply does not belong on GoG. Overall 1849 has relatively few scenarios compared to city managers of old, clocking in at only 20. It's marred by repetitive game play and simplistic design, this game looks, feels and plays like a causal game from Bigfish. That in and of itself isn't necessarily bad but this game has no place on GoG. Save this for Bigfish or Steam. The games asking price is the final nail in the coffin, this is entirely too expensive for what it is. 1849 is $4.99 IoS but PC users are inexplicably overcharged.

What are the devs smoking?
They offer this game for 12$ on a sale price. WTF are you kidding me??? This game is only worth 4 bucks at most.

Save your money
Apparently this game is or was on the IOS. I was unable to actually find it on the store but if you google 1849 ios you will find reviews. What we have here is nothing more than that game but with a $15 price tag. The game lacks any depth and is just plain boring. This is not a city management game, its a test of patience.
