Europa Universalis IV vs Romance of the Three Kingdoms
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(in a good way) and of course, the best selling point of this series is that almost everything is based on accurate historical references, be it a historical figure or an event.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.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Romance of the Three Kingdoms brings an exciting MMORTS game in which players are recruited to help Cao Cao dominate the Three Kingdoms in his bid for the throne.The game allows users to manage their own empires along with its resources, buildings, and finances. Players get to experience an immersive story mode in which they get to assemble ancient heroes and conquer kingdoms in strategy-based combat systems. The game also offers a multiplayer experience with PVP battles for the players. Guilds and alliances can also be created to counter the stronger group of enemies in the fight for glory.
Based on a 2D interface with stunning 3D visual effects, Romance of the Three Kingdoms is one of the most enjoyable strategy MMO games out there.
