good game

Jan. 2024

These games are definitely underrated. It's basically a skeleton of something that could overtake the strategy gaming industry and could easily compete with paradox if they had the meat and the blood to back it up. It lacks in updated graphics, more diplomatic actions, and government admin. However the economic portion of this one specifically and military is superb. It's not too difficult to comprehend, but there is still plenty of room to micro and be able to skillfully gain a competitive edge. This one for sure could be single player or multiplayer. I'm not a huge fan of making history 2's economy, this one is for sure the better of the 2. I've only played these 2, I haven't played the one that came out in 2021, but it really needs a graphical upgrade. For now it's a skeleton and it has the organs of something phenomenal and great. It needs some purdy flesh to go with it. I'm a huge fan of these games. But they definitely need some funding to bring it to the next level. If it had the graphics of a paradox game, this game would immediately catch peoples attention. It has the mechanics. The mechanics in my opinion are better and more complete than pretty much any other grand strategy game. Its more complete in the sense that for example Total war games focus mostly on battles, and the eco is missing. Or paradox mostly focuses on the role playing portion, and in other ways seems incomplete. This one definitely feels more complete, and I don't think it'd be difficult for it to take off fast if it was more visually appealing. This one specifically truly is a hidden gem. The second one isn't bad. But this one is a diamond in the rough.
