Civilization Revolution vs Europa Universalis IV
Civilization Revolution
Civilization Revolution is a turn based strategy game where you take a simple stone age man and build up your own empire. Here you are able to build up your civilization to amazing heights, and even try to take to the stars and colonize new planets. In your way stand the opposing city states, who as you progress will try to stop you. You can of course just dominate them all to win too.As with many games you will need to spend your time exploring, gathering and preparing your empire. Increase your technology levels, farm materials to build skyscrapers and much more with a huge range of activities to keep you entertained. With many of the aspects from the series you love, with a new vibrant gameplay there is so much fun to be had here.
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(in a good way) and of course, the best selling point of this series is that almost everything is based on accurate historical references, be it a historical figure or an event.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.
