Europa Universalis IV vs Tribal Wars 2
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(in a good way) and of course, the best selling point of this series is that almost everything is based on accurate historical references, be it a historical figure or an event.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.
Tribal Wars 2
Tribal Wars 2 is a fantastic MMORTS game set in medieval times in a war-torn land. The game provides pretty much the best of traditional strategic gameplay of developing your village, building an army and conquering neighboring towns. However, what sets Tribal Wars 2 apart from its predecessor is that "hero system", where you can and need to recruit powerful paladins to head your armies. Paladins themselves can be equipped with gear to further enhance their combat abilities. Being the newer game, Tribal Wars 2 also has a larger playerbase, allowing players like you to have an even more enjoyable time fighting tooth and nail for control of certain regions on the map.Tribal Wars 2 has everything you'd need from a high quality MMORTS game. Best yet, the game's available on your mobile devices - both Android and iOS - too!
