The game models the reasons why countries made the choices they did. Extremely complex internal politics model, detailed external politics, warfare, and economic concerns make for a plethora of options. Want difficulty and even mor e accuracy? Try Magna Mundi. Many fan-made mods are available to tweak the game further. Nothing is perfect, of course, but this comes close. The game is historically very accurate - far better than any game I've seen before. Play the Frech superpower, play the backward Aztecs, or play the tiny nation of Hamburg inside what *may* become Germany. Using a historic earth, you can start your game anywhere between 14, playing as any of over a hundred nations spanning the globe, and, if you choose, conquer or colonize the entire world.


If, on the other hand, you're looking for light strategy, action, or RTS, I highly suggest you find another title. If you're looking for a grand strategy game with details galore and historical accuracy to boot, you need go no further.
