Europa Universalis vs My Blacksail
Europa Universalis
Europa Universalis is a historical real-time grand strategy game that includes all aspects of world history in the Early Modern Europe era, a period of time between the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Due to the game's meticulous need to be accurate in its historical accounts (period monarchs, known military leaders, and technological advancements), the game can, in some way, be doubled as an educational game since you can learn quite a lot simply by playing it.That said, the gameplay in Europa Universalis is just incredible for its time. The game is played on a huge world map that is divided into around 1,500 provinces where you can literally govern your nation the way you like. You can get involved in your nation's colonization efforts, explore new lands, trade with neighboring countries, wage war when they renegade on that very trade deal, spread the religion you've adopted far and wide, and of course, navigate the tricky political waters of diplomacy.
Not to mention, instead of using a turn-based format, the game has opted for a pauseable real-time format, so you can pause the game, issues orders and plan out strategies, before unpausing the game and let the world events play out. There are even tons of historically-based missions and events which may affect the world based on your actions and decisions.
When it comes to grand strategy games, there are only a handful that truly embodies the genre, and obviously, Europa Universalis is one of them. However, being the original game in the franchise, the graphics might be a bit worn for wear, but if you don't really mind, you can definitely pick this game up from GoG.com.
My Blacksail
My Blacksail is a pretty fun, pirate-themed MMORPG whereby you get to captain your very own fleet of ships in a dangerous, monsters-filled realm hidden behind the dimensional gateway at Bermuda Triangle. Take on challenging monsters and rival pirates alike and hone your skills. Upgrade your ship or craft a new one so you can defeat stronger and tougher opponents. The variety of dungeons and quests provided in this game is also pretty amazing. Not to mention, the gameplay is very well-executed but the most interesting part is that the rules of its turn-based combat changes depending on the type of ship you use.With great visuals and sound to boot, My Blacksail is a solid browser MMO with plenty of fun activities to do. Do give it a try!
