For me as a big fan of the settler-series and enthusiastic player of departure of an Empire the Silver edition was of course if only for collector purposes a must buy. And let all those who have so far missed the game (major fault ;-)) was the Silver Edition also highly recommended. Power already very chic on the shelf and the game is simply well thought out including extension at any point. Graphically very successful, strategically challenging and varied - optimally in scope.
Who owns the game and expanding empire of the East, however, already, the place is nothing really new in this box. Because the metal tin contains only the main program and the expansion in the classical DVD packaging. If you want more, already has access to the Limited Edition.
