A decent game to ''escape'' to, but not something that peaks my interest as a history buff. Enough of that, though! Let's get to the pros and cons! Pros: * You learn the basics of economics, from diplomacy to mustering of the military. * Focuses on not just one single ''historical'' event but, rather, a nice handful of ''historical'' events. I put ''historical'' in quotations because the game does take liberties because it focuses on real-time strategy. * Allows players to choose which side to fight on and also what country to run! Cons: * A bit pricy when not on sale. * Game takes unnecessary liberties when it comes to historical figures. For starters, they will die too early! George II died in 1760, and Dr. Samuel Johnson died in 1784. Do I recommend this game? Yes. Though, if I were you, I'd get it now when it is on sale! Goodness knows when this game will go back to full price! Oh, and be sure to make sure its minimum requirements meet with your rig's specs! Aside from the liberties the devs took to make this real-time strategy game, I'd rate this game: 7/10!3 found this helpful
Great game. Lost a lot of hours to this. Learning curve isnt too bad, if you like Civ 3, this is for you.2 found this helpful
i do truly enjoy losing all of my ships in the unknown seas, then get 7 revolts in a far away colony with zero way to get troops over there. fun. its especially fun that it takes 5 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ millennia to get a competent navy back, especially as the French because the English WILL ♥♥♥♥ my arse over if i dont have a navy of like 30 ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ships Edit: After playing for a... MUCH longer (another XCIX hours on Deaths and Taxes ontop of the XCIX hours here) I thought I'd remake this review to reflect what I think now. It's generally pretty good, the colonisation system genuinely sucks though. That isn't unique to EUII unfortunately but it is annoying. The HRE is... annoying, too. It makes it insanely hard to expand eastwards (or south) as any non-HRE member, especially as Sweden, France, and Denmark without getting half of the empire on your arse because you dared to attack Alsace and Lorraine so you could have France's modern borders. Even then, expanding into the lowlands is beyond annoying since they, too, are in the HRE. Defender of the faith system is pretty annoying too. Makes it... hard to expand into an area that isn't your religion when you aren't already a relatively capable n…1 found this helpful
yeah i enjoyed playing rev. france but idk after a long time it gets boring
Played this quite often as a kid, it certainly appeals to those who appreciate historical simulations and nation-building. It has officially achieved classic status and I have to recommend it to those who are interested in the historical simulator genre.
No EU4 or EU5 without EU3
