Europa Universalis IV vs Forge of Empires
Europa Universalis IV
Europa Universalis IV is the fourth game in the award-winning Europa Universalis franchise. Similar to its predecessors, the game has everything you'd need to build your own nation from the ground up and guide it through the ages. The freedom in which you get to customize your giverning style, your nation and even your game is simply ridiculous (in a good way) and of course, the best selling point of this series is that almost everything is based on accurate historical references, be it a historical figure or an event. This time around you'll get to grow your nation over a much wider span of history, arrange royal marriages, form coalitions, support rebels in proxy wars and more. You can even cooperate with up to 32 different players to govern a single nation. The multiplayer mode apparently now has an improved chat and a new matchmaking system.Unfortunately, the major downside about this game is that the developers, Paradox Interactive, have apparently "sold-out" by adding in features that should have been in the original game into DLCs that players actually have to pay extra for, ending up spending over $200 for just a single game. Not to mention, many players have complained that the DLCs they release are priced at the same price point despite having progressively lower amount of content.
That said, the game is still an epic masterpiece and a worthy sequel to the Europa Universalis series, but the game's hardcore player base is admittedly not happy, and honestly, we wouldn't recommend getting this game unless you can get all of the DLCs dirt cheap... maybe like in a bundle.
Forge of Empires
Forge of Empires is a very unique MMORTS game developed by Innogames that spans across generations of human civilizations and era, from the Stone Ages right up to the future. Being a strategy game, you'll need to develop your city, the crucible of your empire; advance technologies to usher in a new age, and amass a formidable army. Command your troops to expand the boundaries of your empire by conquest through an exciting turn-and grid-based combat... or you could just buy them out via negotiation. The world in Forge of Empires can be a very hostile one - are you a strong enough leader to not only safeguard your people from invasions but also to help them achieve prosperity?Platforms
