My god I love this game so much.
I genuinely cannot say when was the last time I've seen such an enormous step up in quality in a franchise where the quality was already very, very high. You just don't see that often. I've been with this franchise ever since my Dutch version of 1602 and I've simply never enjoyed it more than I do right now. That's something I can't say for most other beloved franchises of mine. I'm far from done playing 1800 but I already can't wait for the next installment. Please, for the love of Jupiter and the entire pantheon, please let that next installment be set in Antiquity. I would never play anything else anymore.
Anyhow, thanks again so much for this gorgeous game. Cheers
