Скачать или смотреть 1492: Is it better than the original?

Why is an "old man plays old games" channel playing a game so new that it hasn't been released yet?
1492 is a remake of Colonization, which is over 30 years old. 1492 aims to be close to the original, but with the quality-of-life features that we expect in the current year. One of the best ones (shown at 19:37) is that the game remembers Indian village status - what they want to trade, and whether you have scouted them yet.

In the beginning, I'm just trying to get some kind of industry up and running. Selling trade goods to the Indians is a good way to start. I had to pay - expensively - for trained carpenters, but most of the rest of what I need turned up on the docks. I also got a vaguely decent cross factory working, which results in a lot of immigrants. But quantity is not quality... the predictable horde of criminals is dealt with in the traditional way: educate them to Indentured Servants, then send them to learn from the Indians. I got a bit lucky here with a capital that teaches farming.

I got just one Founding Father in this first episode, but it's a good one: Hernando de Soto causes all Lost City explorations to have a good outcome - and I got the jackpot, scoring two treasure trains worth 3000 and 4000.
