Europa Universalis vs Sid Meier’s Civilization VI
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.
Sid Meier’s Civilization VI
Sid Meier’s Civilization VI is what many fans have dubbed as the worst Civilization game so far. Why's that though? Well, one major concern about this game is its terrible AI system. Considering that you'll be playing with many different AIs, each controlling a different country, it can be hard to cooperate with them when they are being incredibly unreasonable when it comes to diplomacy, trade and well, basically everything really. Can you imagine an AI proposing a deal to you but ended up breaking up the deal because it didn't agree with the terms it made in the first place? Anyway, there are many other game-breaking bugs too, some of which will crash the game.However, the game does have many of the features that had made the Civilization series great as well as really appealing graphics, it's just that there are too many broken stuff that apparently won't get fixed anytime soon. If you are considering getting this game, we'd recommend you to get Civ 5 instead. It may be older but it's definitely a lot superior than this installment.
