The game's forum hasn't been used for months. So you get a chance to win 5 points here, by answering the following

1) Does the game come with the original non-HD version?
2) If no, then what are the gameplay differences other than the higher resolution? I know it comes with extra campaigns, but does the gameplay or the original campaign get affected in any way otherwise?
3) On the GOG page it says it's part of the "Stronghold Crusader" series. Is it really? Something like Civilization and Alpha Centauri? Any reason to play them before playing Space Colony?
4) And finally, I know it's subjective, but is this game good? Should I keep it in the hope I'll play it some time, or just gift/trade it? I generally like RTSs and building sims.

Thanks.

If it's anything like the HD versions of Stronghold and Stronghold Crusader, then there's no gameplay difference. As a matter of fact, all of these are literally just the latest official patches for the regular editions. You can even get the patch files for free from Firefly's official website.

I think that's just because both Space Colony and Stronghold were made by the same people, so there may be some similarities in design, but they seem to be completely different games. I haven't played it yet, so I can't say for sure.
