I have the full East India Company package, and I find myself playing this most of all. It's the standard game with a bunch of small but noticeable improvements that make the game a lot more fun - it's great.

Get this as bundle og get the free update/patch from the official gamesite.

As a layer who got to play this game BEFORE this expansion/update, I can trely say that this "Directors Cut" is Awsome.

I have played the game for 13 hurs straight and not suffered a single crash. Not only is the game stabile, it is easy to play and challenging as the time moves foward.

Buy this game if you like strategic trade games!
