There’s lots to take in, but soon players will find a powerful interface that is logically laid out. This approach can be frustrating, though the game can be paused to consider your options and get more acquainted with the set-up. The only thing to do is to jump straight in the campaign for some heated practice. The government trial offers nothing new from the previous ones and is therefore somewhat useless. They cover military actions, colonization and government, but only on the most basic level. Trials act as guided play sessions, and these are a little more helpful, but certainly not exhaustive. The tutorials are comprehensive but impractical: Information is unloaded onto the player with little subtlety and no interactivity. The systems are so complex that it would probably take a normal person four centuries to work everything out. Unfortunately, it’ll take a huge amount of effort from players to invest themselves in the game. Between this customization and the sheer volume of playable nations, Europa Universalis III is almost endlessly replayable. Players can start from the very beginning and see everything or create a custom game, deciding their own starting year. You can choose one of the eleven preset starting points, each focusing on a particular area or conflict such as the Thirty Years War. From this global view, divided into roughly 1700 territories, players command their civilization. The Europa Universalis III Chronicles includes the original 2007 game along with it’s four (!) expansion packs: Napoleon’s Ambition, In Nomine, Heir to the Throne and Divine Wind. In this third installment, you can choose between no fewer than 250 Nations to guide through history from 1399 to 1820, taking charge of politics, monarchies, economics, the military and colonization.
Europa Universalis is the series that put the “grand” in the grand strategy genre.
