Avoid on Windows 10

This game effectively no longer works on many configurations as the forums will attest to.

A thousand wonders let down by one flaw

This game is an extrodinarily well made economic sim for the old days of sea-faring trade. There are nearly endless things to trade, tons of ships to build, and many cities to rule. Sounds great right? But through all the greatness, 1 flaw shines through, 1 bad trade can ruin you. It seems that the cost of some items are completely random, some places produce a ton of fish but charge upwards of 600 per load, while another town that produces nearly no fish will sell it for only 375 per load, that is not how supply and demand works.

Real game, no degeneracy

Start a business, buy/sell some crap, expand, beat some competition to a pulp, and build a flourishing economy. No yappy empowered women or gender-confused men shaming you. L.I.B.E.R.T.A.R.I.A.N. 24/7 with this badboy. No underage anime crap visuals with this one either. Graphics made by people who actually studied art and were passionate about their job, 2d all the way. No forced Burger King Kids Club diversity - European male looks like a European male, the art for and aesthetics for local culture reflects the actual historial record. BUY THIS GAME.

Random Game Time Stop in Multiplayer

Although the game seems like it would be fun to play, time randomly stops and your ship will not move. You have to save and reload in order to get the game time flowing again. This happens repeatedly. Unfortunately, I didn't find this out until after I bought the game.

No windows 8 support, very disappointing

Gog is going to start to lose customers if they don't figure out how to support Windows 8. More and more games are failing on Win 8 and like it or not that's the OS that comes with PCs now.
