But hey, I am now supreme ruler of Africa!Ģ) The AI and engine is actually mimicing how history actually plays out.ģ) Depth! I haven't even explored half of what it means to play this game. Declare that the Portuguese throne is rightly yours because of marriage? Well, seeing as I married into every european civilization and they didn't like the direction I was using those marriage alliances, that was one massive war I had on my hands (reload save.) Go on a crusade of extermination against all the Sunni's in Africa, and yep, every Sunni nation and now the Ottoman empire is pissed at me. So, instead of trying to worry about the rules of the game, I just think about how things would work in the real world. Yea, the game engine is probably 1 million lines of logic operands that is complete gibberish to your average consolite japanophile pedo, but the effect is that it mimics reality. As I get better though, I am getting more and more confortable moving at the faster time settings.ġ) It is intuitive in my opinion. Well, I took the plunge and boy am I glad I did.Įuropa Universalis III: Complete is the shit! (and only $29 for the game and 2 expansion packs on .) I've not even completed one campaign, because the game is epically long.
So it is strange that I have never really delved deeper into this genre until now. The civilization series has sucked away more of my life than any other game other than WoW, and unlike WoW, it doesn't destroy lives.
