Europa Universalis III

Sandbox with your own goals

A grand strategy classic where you steer one of over 250 nations from 1453 to 1789 through trade, diplomacy, colonization and war. Enormous historical depth and freedom, but a steep learning curve.

Deep systems to master

A sprawling historical grand strategy game where you guide a nation across roughly five centuries through war, trade and diplomacy. Its deep economy, population and statecraft systems offer huge freedom but a steep learning curve.

Hearts of Iron II

Sandbox with your own goals

An extremely detailed World War II grand strategy game played in real time with pause, letting you run almost any nation and manage economy, research, diplomacy and armies. The learning curve is steep, but the freedom to rewrite history is huge.

Europa Universalis II

Sandbox with your own goals

A deep real-time-with-pause grand strategy game where you guide a nation from 1419 to 1820 through diplomacy, trade, colonization, religion and war. Historical sandbox freedom and dense systems make every campaign unique.

Europa Universalis IV

Sandbox with your own goals

A deep grand strategy sandbox where you guide any of hundreds of nations from the late Middle Ages to the Napoleonic era through diplomacy, trade, colonization and war. Its complexity is daunting at first, but crafting your own alternate world history is endlessly absorbing.

Historical setting

A deeply complex World War II grand strategy game where you run an entire nation, from economy and diplomacy to espionage and armies, in pausable real time. The learning curve is steep and the freedom to rewrite history is vast.

Imperator: Rome
