Very captivating game. Good mechanics and a great story based on real events.
Solid 8/10 surprise for me.

Great game that allows you to customize your own spaceship
Go hunting down pirates or mine resources to use on your ship
On ship factories can process the materials or you can sell them.

Combat can be quite challenging so make sure you go into battle well prepared.

Great, engaging gameplay in a visually very appealing form.

10/10 would subjugate barbarians again

Great little game with a lot of potential. Innovative organic growth gameplay. A bit rough around the edges in regards to UI but this is to be expected with an early acces title.

Great game for armchair generals and tacticians alike. Lead your country, great or small, to victory in whichever way you see fit.
Pro's:
- Addicting and diverse tactical gameplay
- Accessible UI (HoI III put me off due to a confusing and difficult UI)
- Historical accuracy
- Deep interactions with everything from industry to division designing
- Continued development as with EU IV and CK2

Cons:
- Somewhat simplified
- Pricy DLC
- Underdeveloped game elements

I would like to note that the DLC does enable prolonged development that would otherwise not continue past 2 years after release and this does also mean certain underdeveloped elements such as naval and air combat get frequent revisions and updates.

This game has captured my attention once more after ignoring it for a few months.
The new horde and pillage mechanics in this game are quite good and they bring new things to the total war table that has been the same for a few years.
The era is what interests me the most in this game. Same as with the first Rome and Rome 2. The clashes between romans and others nations and tribes are what make these games great and they are the best at representing this era well in my honest opinion.

Pro's
- Setting
- New mechanics that add depth
- Family tree is back
- Mods

Con's
- Still slows down after a number of turns (but performance has improved quite a bit)
- Factions behind paywall


8/10

They didn't bend the knee so I destroyed them.

10/10 would conquer the world again

Stannis seal of approval

Excellent hex based wargame that really pushes your tactical and logistical skills to the limit.
Use your tanks to cut off enemy supply lines or punch trough the frontline to encircle the enemy all while trying to maintain your own supply lines and not stretchting your own infantry too thin.

Good old gory fun like the old mod. great stuff for when you are in a bloodthirsty mood. :P
