Heh, this and the China mod were the reason I made an account. I played this mod at an interesting time in my life, so obviously it will stick in my subconciousness.
Everything has an end I guess. I'm just glad we have a finished product, unlike most of the other mods that stay under development for years and get slowly forgotten. With modding, it takes guts to actually end something. Notice how I said end, not abandon. There are way too many abandoned mods that were left alone to rot and wither... If modders were bakers, most would just play with the doe, add sugar on it, change its shape but never put it in the oven. The developers of 1866 got through that stage and delivered an excellent cake. I can honestly say this is the best mod on these forums, both content and gameplay wise. I'll never forget it as long as I'm alive.
