Europa Universalis: Rome vs Soldiers Inc
Europa Universalis: Rome
Europa Universalis: Rome brings players back to the ancient ages where Roman, Celtic, Greek, Egyptian and six other civilizations reigned dominant across the game's 53 different factions. Set in between the years 280 B.C. and 27 B.C, you'll get to not only rule but also guide the growth of your very own nation from being a fledgling into a country that the world will need to reckon with (if there are any nations left that you have yet to conquer or brought under your rule). The game retained much of what made the Europa Universalis franchise such as a success, including beautifully deisgned 3D topological maps, historically-accurate figure and events, as well as an insanely in-depth political landscape where you can forge an alliance as easily as you break one.There are also plenty of exciting changes and new features in this installment though. The important characters in the governance of your nation, for example, will develop new traits on their own through their interactions with other people in the game, much like how a human would, giving the game more of a challenge due to all the unpredictability. The military AI used here has been completely revised as well. In addition to the usual 32-player co-op, you can now play competitively against other players... up to 32 of them!
Europa Universalis: Rome is a decade old and as such, you may need to tap into some of the mods made by the game's community to help bring the game to a new level. That said, it's still a really good buy at the current discounted price and if you're a fan of grand strategy games, you should definitely get this one.
Soldiers Inc
Soldiers Inc is a military-themed MMO strategy game set in a futuristic world where natural resources are running low worldwide except for the African country of Zandia. In this game, you assume the role of a military contractor. You are sent by your employers to do "whatever it takes" to lay claim to the land and stop others from doing the same. Build and develop a fortified forward base, recruit mercenaries to field your army, and send them out to take out other bases around the region. Forge alliances with like-minded players and work together to keep everyone else out from tapping into the wealth of resources the region has to offer.Although the PvP aspect of this game can be rather intense at times, Soldiers Inc provides players with many hours of solid fun as they try to rise up the ranks on the leaderboard.
