   It does have some problems, like the insistence of Russia to conquer Oman in EVERY game, but that is (hopefully) something that will soon be addressed with the patches.
   I haven't played it since before the patch 1.2 so we'll see - hopefully it'll be even better. Even without the patch, I loved it! Excellent game!!… Expand

   I consider myself well read of history. I love to read about the period which this game takes place and have always done the 'what if'I consider myself well read of history. I love to read about the period which this game takes place and have always done the 'what if' senarios in my head. What if the CSA won the Civil War? What if Germany never unified? In this game I set out to play those what ifs. I played as the House of Lippe (a german province) never unifying with the rest of germany. Instead I conquered it. conquered parts of poland and later became a great power. I ended the game colonizing africa and being a super power. This game is full of those what ifs.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lets be honest, this is not a game for everyone, it can be over complex and sometimes it feels like artificial difficulty, that is 1 of 2 reasons why I think its not perfect, you can play as almost every country, the game obtains mantain loyalty to real life, and at the same time it obtains to mix them with the ficticius things, every single thing is important to keep you empire, and the battles are very simple, contrasting with the rest of the game… Expand

   Offers a unique combo of features, economy sim and grand strategy elements mashed together with the flavour of the less explored 19th centuryOffers a unique combo of features, economy sim and grand strategy elements mashed together with the flavour of the less explored 19th century (when it comes to video games, at least). But it's also buggy and certain features are difficult to grasp at first, even though not very complex per se - because of the UI and usability.… Expand

   Paradox games are generally only playable after their first expansion by which most of the worst bugs and imbalances are ironed out (EU 3 isParadox games are generally only playable after their first expansion by which most of the worst bugs and imbalances are ironed out (EU 3 is an exception that took more than one expansions to be the great game it currently is). I think this is also true for Victoria II even though it was released much more finished than the horrible HOI 3. The good thing about Paradox interactive is that they actively keep updating their games even several months and years after their release. As of the current version the game still suffers from many small problems but it has an active modding community and an expansion on its way.… Expand
