0 A.D. vs For The Glory A Europa Universalis Game
0 A.D.
0 A.D. is a really unique game not because it is possibly one of the most well-made, open-source, historical real-time strategy games we've ever seen; the game started off as a mod for Age of Empires 2: The Age of Kings but ended up being a standalone game with its own game engine and everything. This is a pretty huge feat and puts 0 A.D. on the same level as other successful mod-turned games like Garry's Mod. However, the game may lose out a bit when it comes to popularity mainly because it's not available on Steam, which happens to be the current largest PC gaming platform, and partly because there isn't a lot of promoting from established gaming media, or marketing, even.That said, the game is incredibly impressive for an under-development and completely free game. You can play as a number of civilizations that has their own graphics and models to set them apart. There are also citizen-soldiers who like in real-life, can switch between gatheirng resources like a civilian and fighting as a soldier depending on need. Unlike certain RTS games that allow you to unlock every branch of the tech tree, this game offers technological tradeoffs between two equally important tech, forcing you to really consider your choices and pick one that fits your play style.
0 A.D. also tries to be as historically accurate as possible, conforming its 3D models and maps to actual historical depictions of the people and land back in the day. The effort into making game realistic is astounding, but of course, the devs have mentioned that if they had to choose between having a feature that's historically accurate or playable, they will definitely choose playable every time... naturally, since this is still mainly a game and all.
So, if you're interested, know that you can get the game for free on their site.
For The Glory A Europa Universalis Game
For The Glory A Europa Universalis Game is rather like an updated version of Europa Universalis II with a chunk of mods bundled together. So, in some aspects, the game is essentially better than Europa Universalis II in every way (due to the mods). There are more historically accurate events for you to deal with, more countries (over 180 of them) to play as, and better nation-building features, for example. However, many players have complained of bugs - bugs that will never be fixed since the development process for this game has long stopped... the game is 8 years old at the time of writing.However, if you're planning to buy Europa Universalis II, you might as well give this game a look-over first. Who knows? You might find that this game saves you the time needed to search for, download and install the mods you'd want to get anyway.
