Europa Universalis: Rome vs Wargame 1942
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.
Wargame 1942
Wargame 1942 is an MMORTS that allows you to influence the fate of the world by joining, albeit virtually, the Second World War. Set up a strong economy to support your military operations and mobilize your troops to defend your country from hostile invasions. You can generate money passively via factories and residential buildings and money can then be used to obtain ammunition from ammunition facilities, and crude oil that can then be refined into gasoline or diesel, as well as to carry out intelligence missions. There are also a ton of units you can recruit and upgrade as well as branches on the tech tree to unlock.Due to its intricacies, Wargame 1942 may not be an easy game to get into, but with wise decisions and strategic fleet deployments, you’ll stand a chance to take over the entire map and be one of the most revered yet feared leaders!
