I did like the original and I'm certainly in the market for an
updated version. It strikes me as kind of nuts to have just a four
colonial powers, like in the original game, though. At a minimum the
Portugese and Swedes deserve their chances, and there's other footnotes
which could have been made playable yet challenging nations (eg, the
Swiss).
I hope the economic model is something exciting, although I
admit my standard for that is Victoria.
