This game doesn't have a learning curve, its a straight jump to the moon. Played my first game as the Ottomans and looked through menus for like 2 hours. I then looked up tutorials and spent a bunch of time there. I felt prepared and attacked the Byzantines who had allied Serbia I think. I barely won that war then lost all my manpower to attrition. I then ran out of money by reinforcing my troops and being dumb in other ways. I spent all of my mana on deving random provinces and lost a war to Poland over Moldavia. After a few more catastrophes that resembled games I had a half decent game as Poland and got sucked in. I don't play many games for a long time, but if you enjoy learning about history and are willing to put in some hours of pure failure I would recommend this to you. THIS GAME IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. I would not recommend that people buy any dlc for this game until after a few games. Each game take a significant amount of time and if you don't enjoy those initial games at all then buying the dlc is unlikely to fix that. Nonetheless this game is a veritable masterpiece in player led storytelling and is my favorite video game, hands down. UPDATE This update is purely for a steam event ignore it.

Somewhat overwhelming to start but a few hours of figuring out the basics rewards with endless hours of absorbing nation building. Honestly staggering replayability, not only are there 100s of nations to play as giving a unique experience, but play the same nation 5 times and you'll have 5 unique experiences due to different circumstances unfolding in the world around you. Spread your colour on map = brain happy.

I realized this was an awesome game after some 10 hours gameplay; but played it for 1734 hours more just to make sure.

Hate this game, but broke up with my gf to unite Japan, control Phillipines, and proceeded to monoploize East Indies trade. Women are temporary, but the glory of tall nations are eternal.

For some reason, all the teachers in school acted like genocide, imperialism, and exploitation of indiginous peoples was a bad thing. They were wrong.
