WARNO? WarYES.

Red Dragon, with much better music.
Steel Division, with much better units.

(just avoid public multiplayer, there lies dragons)

As you can see from other reviews, the economic model incredibly angers laissez-faire capitalists which by itself should compel you to slam the [Add to Cart] button. Luckily, it also seems to be a pretty good game! Also, Paradox has a long history of post-release support, so its weak points should be filed down in time.

Its weakest point, a somewhat shy/lackluster AI, is easily remedied by playing in multiplayer with a dozen other people who also don't know what they're doing.

It works now

This is the best game I've ever played where my tie was a pivotal supporting character.

This is the best game of 2019

I am not being sarcastic in the slightest. You will rediscover a better part of yourself.

You should buy this game if you like conquering things. It's essentially a world simulator for the Age of Discovery (1450 - 1820) and is more refined than anything else Paradox has done on this scale. If you enjoyed Crusader Kings 2, this is the next step - less emphasis on dynasties, more emphasis on nation-building. Incredible depth and yet pretty accessible.

My MMO drug of choice of late. It's like World of Warcraft witih a decent storyline (I wonder where they got it from)
