The American Flag is backwards in this game, that's kinda wierd.
For those that don't know the blue star portion of the Flag must always be located in the upper left section of the flag, Here it's located in the upper right.
@YesIamEccentric It probably is but still why not try it out. I mean I love Hearts of Iron 3, Vicky 2, and EU 3 yet I still play games that are not as good.
@frejarimmer Saying 'you wouldn't want to go further' when people have been asking to do so for a long time just doesn't make logical sense because clearly people DO want to go further. I don't see why not have the option, just to mess around.
@frejarimmer I like both the Paradox published wargames and the Total War series games. The wargames published by Paradox are usually more complex in many aspects but it certainly is not any more of a 'serious' or 'true' strategy game then the Total War series. I find the Total War series far more challenging then HOI3, EU3 or any of the other Paradox published war games I have played. I do love them both equally though.
EU3 was one of the most boring games I have ever playing in my life, sitting around waiting for things to happen in the game historically, waiting for buildings to be built, waiting for trade to be done, you couldnt fight battles because of the cassus belli system either. This game will no doubt be exactly the same but just more complex in the wrong places. The trading for example looks mind numbingly dull.
That is all well and good but does it suffer, like every other Paradox game has, from the constant chasing around of armies after battles and the terrible Paradox cassus belli system that makes taking over countries a real pain. They need to take a look at Ageod who do far better games.
@nstutt Terrible casus belli system? Bullshit. It's not Total War. Casus belli is the best thing in this game. It forces you to use diplomacy and constantly think about relations with other countries. Without it players would steamroll through the continent (and even the world) with ease (as it happened in previous versions of EU) and that would quickly get boring.
@Paradoxplaza, you mention sandbox mode which removes restrictions... my question to you is does this include time limit? Can i play past the end date in sandbox mode? I love Europa and Victoria etc but i hate it when i just want to dominate the world yet have to do it by a certain date. If sandbox mode removes this restriction you have sold another copy. :)
I just wish paradox would STOP making games with time limit i love all there games but i Hate the time limit!just give us a option to continue pass the date if we wanted to.
@kxr225522 Fully agree with you, i love Europa and the one thing that i dislike is end date. I want to carry on until i either conquer everyone or get conquered. I don't care if Technology stops at a certain date just let me play on!!!
@goodgimp I know this, as i did this in games like Europa, however once the game reaches the end of the tech the game will always crash unless you add more tech. I would like to see a mode where we can play past the end date and even continue when your nation has completed all research. :)
@kxr225522 Just live with time limits... remember on the plus side, at least the game tells you when it ends, unfortunately your life is less kind. :P
@kxr225522 You can do a 10 second tweak to all games and remove the time limit by setting it to a date like 31st December, 99999. Still strange why its even there, though.
@kxr225522 Except this isn't Paradox. This is made by Ageod, who was founded by the guy who made the Europa Universalis Board game. Paradox has published the game.
@kxr225522 I agreed with that, but that how they make more profits with multi-games. Only games i like from Paradox is Mount and Blade and AoD, the rest is garbages!
@kxr225522 Well, you can easily change the ending date. Go to your games directory, open common file, and in there you will see the txt file DEFINES, open that and you wil see Start_date Last_Start_Date End_Date
Change your end date to 9999, just change the year, don't change the month or the day. I hope i helped :)
Aww... the Ottoman Empire may have been the sick man of Europe, but it was still a great power even at the time... a shame you can't play as the successor to the Roman Empire!
This game looks like Vicky on the outside, but its very different. The military system looks much like those of AEGODS American Civil War. Which i didnt like so much, because the combat system lacked frontage and made it impossible for me to see where the frontier rly was. I hope this is better and that you can see stuff better.
Deep, complex, challenging game that'll teach you something at the same time and will give you some real insight into why history unfolded the way it did.
@davelantor They are not the same mechanics. Each of the games look superficially identical, but each game in paradox's grand strategy series is unique in very important and fundamental ways.
Also, Sword of the Stars 2 is coming if you want sci-fi. :)
What do you guys think is better Pride of Nations or Europa Universalis 3 I don't know which one to buy
