    Pride of Nations is a deep turn-based strategy game where the player can determine every aspect of a nation. Is a good game, but not for everyone.

    Pride of Nations is another incredible work from Paradox. Covering an aspect never considered before in the software house products (the colonial expansion), it delivers solid strategy for old fans.

    If you've got the patience to penetrate this game, and to put up with its dawdling, you're in for a treat.

    As fresh and insightful as it is slow, Pride of Nations offers major rewards to the patient player. [Nov 2011, p.76]

    AGEOD releases new specialist strategy title set in the Colonial Wars. Although we do not find this setting to be the most attractive among all those available, the game takes advantage of the incredible accuracy of the company and its historical research. This is almost a must for fans of the most realistic strategy, resigned to have very few titles of this level of quality.

    This is the latest game in a long line of superb turn based war games made by Ageod (Paradox France). Pride of nations is set in the VictorianThis is the latest game in a long line of superb turn based war games made by Ageod (Paradox France). Pride of nations is set in the Victorian / Industrial Age between 1850 and 1920. The game focuses on leading one of eight nations to glory through warfare, colonization, diplomacy and trading. If you are already a fan of some of the other Ageod games, you will feel right at home, but the UI will take some time to learn. This is painstakingly also one of the games shortcomings. If you are a newcomer to the Ageod games you will feel frustrated because of the how little you will actually learn from the tutorial and how much you will have to learn by making mistakes by playing the game. Warfare is handled the same way as in former Ageod games, you move counters around like a board game and it will show you how many days it will take for a unit to get there. Each turn is 15 days. If you are familiar with Victoria II than the combat is far superior in Pride of nations. Terrain, weather and supply plays a huge important role when doing warfare. All in all i give this game 7 out of 10, i would have given it higher but bugs in its current version makes the game near unplayable. Lucky enough you can go to the pride of nations forum at the paradox forum and grab the latest beta patch 1.01F (it is steam compatible). Which makes a huge difference!… Full Review »

The low ratings come from gamers used with intuitive control based games. It is hard to learn , but once you get deep into it you will start loving it. This game is full with realism, and you will feel the slow pace of development, instead of "mine this, build this, attack, win" type of strategy games. If it weren't for the diplomatic crisis system, I would have given it a 10.
    A beautiful, smart game for the gender.    … Full Review »
