Good game in concept, very bad in practice. There is no roleplay factor in the game, AI dont even try to hide their intension, which is destroy players. Whichever country you play doesnt matter. Historical rivals will come together to destroy you because you are a player.

I keep coming back and wanting to enjoy this game, but it just lacks any flavor. It can't decide if it wants to be EU or HoI and it lands no where. If you want to have fun building lumber camps and iron mines, this is a game for you I. That's all you're going to do.

game runs way too slow even on modern specs. couple this with the fact that you can't really Do much besides try to pass laws and build stuff and it just gets way too boring way too quick. tutorial also doesn't really do a good job of showing you much of anything
