Europa Universalis IV vs For The Glory A Europa Universalis Game
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(in a good way) and of course, the best selling point of this series is that almost everything is based on accurate historical references, be it a historical figure or an event.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.
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.
