Ancient War vs For The Glory A Europa Universalis Game
Ancient War
Ancient War is a brand-new MMO RPG/strategy game that you can play for free directly on Facebook. In this game, you will need to choose one of 3 factions to join, namely Thebes, Athens or Sparta, before setting off to develop your city-state, recruit legendary heroes and their associated battalions, and take on your enemies.The gameplay here is pretty generic in many ways, but there are a couple features that stand out although they are not entirely unique. One such feature is the world map. Unlike many other games within the same genre, the world map feels a lot more real and alive as you can see the boundaries of each faction being drawn and re-drawn as players of the same faction work together to conquer other faction's city-states.
Another feature is the faction hierarchy. Each faction is governed by the players themselves and only the strongest players will be able to climb the ranks and assume one of the 4 important positions in the hierarchy. If you are the best of the lot, you can even be appointed King.
Ancient War isn't exactly a refreshingly unique browser MMO game, but it is not your run-of-the-mill game either. The gameplay is quite decent and the epic Greek-theme that it has may appeal to you as well.
For The Glory A Europa Universalis Game
For The Glory A Europa Universalis Game is rather like an updated version of Europa Universalis II with a chunk of mods bundled together. So, in some aspects, the game is essentially better than Europa Universalis II in every way (due to the mods). There are more historically accurate events for you to deal with, more countries (over 180 of them) to play as, and better nation-building features, for example. However, many players have complained of bugs - bugs that will never be fixed since the development process for this game has long stopped... the game is 8 years old at the time of writing.However, if you're planning to buy Europa Universalis II, you might as well give this game a look-over first. Who knows? You might find that this game saves you the time needed to search for, download and install the mods you'd want to get anyway.
