Europa Universalis III vs Nantucket
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.
Nantucket
Nantucket is a strategic whaling game with an emphasis on ship and crew management that is based off on the famous classic literature, Moby Dick. In this game, you’ll get to dive right into the life of a captain of a whaling ship in the mid-nineteenth century. Aside from hunting whales, sharks, and other massive sea creatures, upgrading both your crew and your ship, as well as raking in tons of coins from selling your whaling goods, the game will let you set off on your personal quest to finally hunt down the infamous Moby Dick. Will you finally be able to avenge Captain Ahab and put that monstrous beast to rest?In short, Nantucket is a truly impressive strategy/management game that puts you behind the wheel of your very own whaling ship. The game seems to not only has a storyline that continues where the classic literature Moby Dick left off, and also an engaging gameplay with a unique, turn-based combat system. Granted that there are a few minor aspects the game can improve on, such as adding in more player portraits, Nantucket is one of those rare indie gems that will be making waves in the gaming community and industry.
