A Hidden Gem!

The Guild was one of those games that was really easy to overlook on the retail racks. The box art didn't promise anything new, and the name didn't promise anything different than the other games that were part of the at-the-time flood of medieval based games, but The Guild is something different. In the guild, you don't set out to be a mage or a demon slayer, but instead you might be a perfume maker, or a blacksmith. While you're focused on improving your chosen business, you also have the chance to slip into political or religious office and try to use the money from your business and some of the goods you make to improve your standing in society, sometimes across several generations. It's that all-encompassing just-one-more-turn feeling that makes games like these greats, and The Guild has it in abundance!

A true gem

The Guild GE is simulation game set in Europe in the 1400s. It's centered around managing your business(including but not limited to innkeeper, priest, carpenter, thief) and securing wealth and (political) influence for your family over many generations. To achieve your goal in becoming the wealthiest and most influential family you can also use more shady methods like bribing others to gain a public office or sabotage enemy businesses. The game has it's problems, for example the IA does a lackluster job of running your businesses for you or its' own for that matter. Furthermore the combat system is, in my opinion, not the best the world has seen and is my least favorite part. But still I find my way back to this game time and again. Seeing your character and his children(of one you will take possession upon your death) draws my in and by now I have spent many weekends in early Renaissance Europe killing and bribing my way to the top.

Симулятор средневекового бизнеса

Guild Gold или Europa 1400: The Guild, по началу кажется странной и не понятной, но чем больше в неё играешь, тем больше ею проникаешься. Помимо ведением и развитием своего предприятия, здесь можно заниматься политикой, начиная с малой должности, поднимаясь всё выше и выше. Интересно ещё то, что многие люди будут относится по разному к вам, от нейтралитета до вражды или даже дружбы, вы можете уладить с ними ситуацию мирно, либо устраивать им саботажи, шпионить собирая информацию на своих противников, чтобы потом использовать её в суде и т.д. С развитием навыков, вам будет легче и эффективней ввести производство, а после получения максимального навыка в одной профессии можно учиться уже на любую другую. Ещё интересной особенностью является система династии, а именно наш герой не бессмертный и может умереть, как от страсти, так и от болезни и т.д. Поэтому необходимо заводить семью и продолжать свой род. Своим детям конечно же нужно уделять внимание: давать им денег (чтобы у них был начальный капитал, при совершеннолетии), дарить игрушки, которые будут развивать их навыки и немало важное это их учёба, чем престижней она, тем дороже и лучше будут развиты навыки. Смертность относится не только к герою игрока, а также и к самим НПС. Некоторые династии могут разрастись, а некоторые наоборот вымирать. В отличии от последующих частей этой серии, первая часть, вышла более атмосфернее, а саундтрек этой игры атмосферность только увеличивает. Из минусов: На некоторых ПК эта игра работает некорректно. У меня она почему то сильно фризила. (Есть решение в папке с игрой помимо оригинального exe-шника, есть ещё один с припиской _TL, если его запустить, то фризов не будет). Подводя итоги, я рекомендую эту игру всем тем, кого не пугает старая графика, кому интересны старые игры, а также тем кому нравятся игры с интересным геймплеем. Сейчас такие игры не делают, увы..,

Multiplayer Broke

LAN works great! But forget about playing over the internet multiplayer...I had hoped GOG would have fixed this. LAN works though. Same old game as before. The game is great although somewhat boring single player after a few games, but multiplayer is the way to go. So if you can get a LAN game going, you will love this even more.

Great game despite flaws

This game is a lot of fun for people that like the idea of playing a dynasty in the context of history. The historical titbits are rather interesting and relatively well written. The various roles you take on are capable of directly impacting the game world, which can be exciting. Building the houses and other sites and upgrading them is nice, especially since you're passing your estate down generation after generation. However, there are not enough different roles to play. There are not many career paths and the majority of the elected/appointed positions have little to no value other than making you eligible for a higher position on the food chain. One problem there is that the computer players are not limited in this way. Many NPC's are elected to offices far above your station without holding any office what-so-ever - a feat impossible for the player. The combat, such as it is, is horrendous. This is not simply a condition of the game's era, either. The scheme for selecting your units does not work (dragging a box) half the time and you must individually select them from the bar at the top with their faces. Of course, they often all have the same face and their position in the bar is unrelated to their position on the battle field. Then there is the path finding - or complete lack thereof. I have one combat more than once by simply not doing anything and watching the AI also not do anything for the entire 5 minutes or so that combat can last. Really, quite disappointing. The economy is almost interesting, but is mostly artificial as far as I can tell. Yes, you can flood the market with a product and lower its cost (screwing the competition), but it quickly 'resets'. There is also no way (as far as can tell) to determine the age of the wo/men you are to court for marriage prior to marrying them. I was quite the black widower in one of my dynasties - marrying women who died within the very game term I married them over and over - despite never intending to do so. I'd say it's worth the price of admission, but one must understand that it's under-polished and be prepared to be deal with the flaws.
