Always enjoy its high level of freedom to decide the future of the country. I really like how this game provides many scenarios where we can freely choose different periods and experience various large-scale wars. And of course, the opportunity to learn the history, learn FROM the history - How a wrong decision could lead a country into disaster; how a tiny mistake or moment of negligence could cause a war to take a sharp turn for the worse; how naive one can be to believe that any alliance would last for good. [u]In the game, we can pause or even sl, but in real life?[/u] The reason we study history is to prevent past tragedies and disasters from happening again, to stop us from killing each other, and that is why it is even included in our school curriculum. Unfortunately, in the real world today, there are not many places where true history is actually taught. Instead, history is often manipulated, embellished, and distorted. Not to mention that many people who study history still end up repeating the very mistakes that history was supposed to help us avoid. Oh my...We and our children are going to suffer from the cycle!

The game is great, you can play it over and over again and will definitely take you quite a while to figure out all the mechanics. I played almost 70 hours so far and I'm still struggling lol There's lots of things to experiment with, but around the first 5-10 hours I got the hand of the main mechanics which allowed me to try a game on my own and from there it's just discovering new and new things. The downsize is the expansions, as with any Paradox game. You need them to properly enjoy the game, and it's insane to demand of someone to spend 375€ to enjoy a full game they've BOUGHT. So the only alternative is to pay for the suscription, which is still rather expensive, and slowly test and acquire those expansions you like the most. And please don't spend 50€ on the base game. Also, for the minority out there of MacOS users, the optimization is terrible, at least the M Series of chips. You can't play on fullscreen unless you have an external monitor, as the GUI clashes with the notch(you can adjust the GUI scale, but even that isn't properly done!), and the game will just decide to crash randomly and ♥♥♥♥ up your save - especially when the Ottomans annex Byzantium, for some reason. If you are on MacOS and are thinking of buying it, do it at your own risk. Other Paradox games like HOI4, Cities Skylines(kind of), or CK3 work a lot better. And make sure to set the autosave every month. It gets tedious but you won't lose your save. But you may also get lucky and have a game without crashes until the mid-late game! I'd give it a try if you snatch it at a nice discount :)
Ну что, искатели приключений, любители перекраивать карты и вершить судьбы народов! Присаживайтесь к столу и слушайте) Вердикт мастера подземелий: Это не игра — это война миров в масштабе четырёх столетий! Вы берёте под свою руку любое государство на карте и ведёте его через эпоху Великих географических открытий, Реформации, колониальных войн и Наполеоновских баталий. Здесь нет места мелким интригам — тут решаются судьбы континентов! Осмотр локации: Карта огромна, как сам мир! Вы можете отправить корабли в Новый Свет, заключить союз с турками, натравить французов на англичан и прибрать к рукам пол-Европы. Всё в ваших руках: дипломатия, торговля, войны, технологии, религия. Один неверный шаг — и ваша империя рухнет как карточный домик. Оружие и тактика: Главное оружие здесь — ум и расчёт. Думайте на сто лет вперёд! Заключайте браки, стройте заводы, управляйте торговыми потоками, подавляйте восстания. И помните: побеждают не те, у кого больше войск, а те, кто лучше понимает геополитику. Как в великих шахматах, только пешек — миллионы! Сложность: Этот мир не для новобранцев, искатели! Он требует железных нервов, холодного разума и готовности к тому, что ваши планы рухнут в одно мгновение. Но именно в этом — величие игры! Награда: Когда ваша маленькая страна превращается в мировую империю — чувствуете себя настоящим завоевателем! Как Александр Македонский или Чингисхан, только с картой и дипломатами. Итог: Всем, кто устал от мелких разборок и хочет вершить судьбы мира — настоятельно рекомендую! Всем любителям истории и стратегий — обязательно! EU4 — для настоящих властелинов! Удачи в ваших завоеваниях, герои! И помните: мир никогда не будет прежним.
Все еще лучшая игра от этой студии, конечно выходили говно дополнения и 99% нововходящих скажут, что тут насрано механиками, но нет, когда начинаешь вливаться то эта игра тебя не отпускает. А еще это одна из немногих игр пароходов, где ИИ действительно твой соперник. В общем все кто хочет игры, где нужно думать и разбираться в механиках - велком, это прекрасная игра.
Possibly the best game ever made? You do need most/all of the DLC's for a good experience of the game. It can be straining on the budget if you buy them all at once. If you are thinking about trying this game, go for the subscription. Last I know you can cancel anytime and 7$ a month isn't that bad.
With all the DLC at a cheap price and an UI mod for your resolution it's a very solid game.
Ідеальна гра для того щоб не виходити з дому не митись та не спілкуватись з жінками - 12 сулейманів 6/6/6 З 10
Tarihin en büyük önderlerden biri olan adamı saçma bir yaklaşım ile soykırım iddasında bulunup üste çıkmaya çalışıyorsunuz. İp ve sandalye ile gerekeni yapın.
You make historical grand strategy games, yet your official Discord mods literally ban people just for having Mustafa Kemal Atatürk as their profile picture with baseless accusations. Clueless, biased moderation. Won't support a company that treats its player base like this.
