Europa Universalis vs Seas of Gold
Europa Universalis
Europa Universalis is a historical real-time grand strategy game that includes all aspects of world history in the Early Modern Europe era, a period of time between the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Due to the game's meticulous need to be accurate in its historical accounts (period monarchs, known military leaders, and technological advancements), the game can, in some way, be doubled as an educational game since you can learn quite a lot simply by playing it.That said, the gameplay in Europa Universalis is just incredible for its time. The game is played on a huge world map that is divided into around 1,500 provinces where you can literally govern your nation the way you like. You can get involved in your nation's colonization efforts, explore new lands, trade with neighboring countries, wage war when they renegade on that very trade deal, spread the religion you've adopted far and wide, and of course, navigate the tricky political waters of diplomacy.
Not to mention, instead of using a turn-based format, the game has opted for a pauseable real-time format, so you can pause the game, issues orders and plan out strategies, before unpausing the game and let the world events play out. There are even tons of historically-based missions and events which may affect the world based on your actions and decisions.
When it comes to grand strategy games, there are only a handful that truly embodies the genre, and obviously, Europa Universalis is one of them. However, being the original game in the franchise, the graphics might be a bit worn for wear, but if you don't really mind, you can definitely pick this game up from GoG.com.
Seas of Gold
Seas of Gold is a very interesting naval-themed browser MMORPG in which players get to embark on an epic adventure across the seven seas of the world in search of adventure, conflict, and of course to sweet, sweet plunder! The game plays out a bit like other seafaring MMOs including Pirate Storm - there are quests to complete, sea creatures to slay, and instances to clear. There is even a PvP aspect, allowing players to come up with creative strategies to make use of their environment and ambush their opponent. Like most R2's games, there are plenty of events to keep you engaged even after you've had your share of looting and slaying.Although the game may not win any award in the "best-looking game" category, Seas of Gold is still a decent and fun MMORPG that lets you play as a dashing captain of a magnificent ship, sailing across the seven seas. So, if you're interested, be sure to try this game out!
