Thanks a lot to both of you guys! I'll take the 1.6 Piecemeal with disable gemgens so I'll be able to play the nations the way I remembered and loved.
Gandalf: yes I already found and checked that link yesterday, very interesting stuff!
Edi: oh that's great I'll go there and see if the new community is great like it was the old one here, thanks a lot! Maybe I'll convince someone to play a 1.6-no-gemgens game.... Difficult, to be sure, but that would be fun
EDIT: Oh also I found some community at the Gaming Den that plays vanilla... nice
