Europa Universalis II vs Europa Universalis III
Europa Universalis II
Europa Universalis II is what many have deemed as the best sequel to Europa Universalis. Set during the period where the hundred-year war occured, you'll need to lead your country's expansion and guide the growth of its domestic and foreign policies, while engaging in religious battles and sending expeditions to beat the competition and claim large swathes of the new world. Similar to the original game, you'll get to, depending on your decisions, interact with historical figures and momentous events (some of which though are special, random events).However, this time around, the game has a revamped and frankly much improved system for diplomacy, trade, military and overall country development. You can even demand tribute or knock out deals in order to make peace with a foreign nation. As religion is often the cause of war, this aspect has been greatly expanded in Europa Universalis II, requiring you to actually deal with cultural differences between nations of different religions.
In some way, Europa Universalis II managed to not only build on the game design used in the first game; it has also introduced a series of new features of its own. This is exactly why the game has gotten critical acclaimation from both fans and critics alike back when it was first released. So, if you love grand strategy games, you'll want to check this game out.
Europa Universalis III
Europa Universalis III follows in the footsteps of its predecessors by offering players with one of the best grand strategy game they have ever experienced. The game dives deeply into each of its four major aspects - exploration, trade, warfare and diplomacy. Nation-building is as flexible and as in-depth as ever. Each country in the game's over 250 countries is also historically accurate, so as most of their global events and famous figures.However, the sequel has had some changes made to further improve the experience that it can offer. Some of these changes include a nicer 3D topological map of the world rather than the flat 2D version as well as the availability of a cooperative multiplayer mode where players get to work together - like an actual government - to govern a single nation. You can even start the gameplay whenever you like between the years 1453 and 1820, and freely customize your game.
That's good and all, but the best part about all of this is the thriving modding community that is constantly churning out new and exciting content for you to have fun with. Sounds awesome? Well, you simply must check out this amazing game.
