It's alright, maybe worth an hour or two.




In all seriousness a really good grand strategy game that is popularly known as the map making simulator, and for good reason. In this game you paint out your own history in an ever so detailed fasion. Either creating a grand colonial empire, be a war mongering country, or a simple trade company. Sure, it may be a little intimidating to get into the game at first, but if you have a friend or watch some videos on it, you should be fine. I would give the game a 9/10, good content, but there are some small bugs here and there and the dlc is kind of expensive. You can share dlc with people though in multiplayer if they host it.

Cheers :)

EDIT: Would still recommend the game but the more I play the it, the more bs i see in the AI and how Paradox is pretty lazy in properly handling them. AI get more ally slots, more general slots, no attrition for units, no fort maintenance on borders, lower agressive expansion, less base unrest.... you get the idea. The thing is you can still beat them, I was able to form Italy and dismantle the HRE with a Poland, austria, massive bohemia, lithuania pu group stacked against me that was allied to russia and the ottomans. So ey, sometimes it comes down to luck.

RE EDIT: My notes above are tad bit salty but yes their AI is still fairly trash. I would now say to buy the game when it's on sale only and I recommend to buy some dlc with the purchase since the base is completely different from a game with dlc.

RE RE EDIT: Game is still fun. Some mods have brought be back into the game. If you want a fantasy touch to the game, get anbennar. Some might say it's more in depth than the base game.
