Absolutely terrible, horrendous, incomplete, filled with bugs, objectively one of the worst games to ever exist. But still better than Victoria 3 though.

My 2nd favourite Grand Strategy game before EU4. Works really well for the period it is set in, and still more enjoyable than Victoria 3, even without mods.
