This is an amazing board game. If you like economic strategy games, very few beat designs by Martin Wallace and this is one of his best.
This conversion has a lot going for it. The interface and visuals are well presented and very rarely let you do anything you need to take back.
Heres the downers:
AI is absolutely dreadful. They focus completely on Cotton Mills and put themselves into a corner. Ive played games where most of the opponents are passing for both turns in several rounds!!
You cant see how opponents have developed their stacks. This is critical when trying to anticipate moves especially regarding the shipyard.
Minor gripe but end game is very abrupt and doesnt entertain you with animating through final scoring like it does at end of era 1.
ultimately I hope this gets some more dev time
