Europa 1400 Gold verdict?
I know there was a lot of controversy surrounding Europa 1400 Gold on GGF, but those threads are long gone.
Does anyone remember the final consensus on this game? Is anyone still playing it?

Don't know how much you remember.
Those of us in the states who supported the original version never got a final patch.
The gold version is the original plus the expansion pack released in english. Buying the gold version is the only way to get the expansion pack. (Same thing happened with silent storm. It makes for an interesting choice for those of us interested in marginal games. That's another topic)
My understanding is that the expansion pack adds in a couple of professions, but doesn't really change or fix the game.
Now...final verdict time....Europa is what I call an interesting failure. It's a lot like playing a medieval version of the sims. It's fascinating and very different than most games on the shelf, but it has a limited appeal. Good for....10-15 hours of gameplay. You will love the parts that work, curse the parts that are broken and think..."gosh with a little polish, this could have been one of those games that stayed on my hard drive forever." Then you will delete and play something else.
