Empire Earth 2 vs Europa Universalis IV
Empire Earth 2
Empire Earth 2 lets you dive back again into the embrace of a timeless real-time strategy gameplay where this time around, you get to lead great nations and take part in the greatest historical battles known to mankind. Like the previous game though, you'll get to advanced through the ages, allowing you to experience both ancient warfare right up to a futuristic version. You can also decide to dominate others with your military might or via diplomatic techniques. This game even includes its expansion, Empire Earth II: The Art of Supremacy.Empire Earth 2 may not be as perfect an RTS as its original, but many would say that it's still a much decent game than Empire Earth 3, which is exactly when the franchise was shuttered for good. If you love Empire Earth, this is a pretty decent game to buy.
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(in a good way) and of course, the best selling point of this series is that almost everything is based on accurate historical references, be it a historical figure or an event.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.
