Europa Universalis 3 is a big improvement over it's predecessors. It's more stable, the interface is greatly improved (why did it take until the third game to make the space bar the pause key?) and of course the graphics are better. As far as I can tell, this is the best grand strategy game out there, certainly the best historical grand strategy game. You are in command of any country in existance in 1400, and you run it until 1820. There are other scenarios included, but this is the game people get it for. It is very complex, and not well explained, so if you don't want to spend a lot of time playing and learning the game, get something simpler.

First. I have Windows Vista, & game loads & runs. But, the Tutorials crash, & are useless. NO Manual, in mine or my friends. Tried contacting Paradox, both through Customer Support & Forum, no reply. Tried just playing it to try to figure it out. Much to involved. If I felt like spending a dozen years working on it...maybe. Thus...save your money...it is a NO GO.

Love this game. I've spent countless hours playing it. For novices, it will take some time to learn how to play as the games is very deep. You're not going to get Total War style battles, but rather and extremely in depth Risk style game with many, many layers.

I made a mistake by buying this game. The main reason being that it doesn't work on my computer. So I checked online, and I saw that numerous users running different versions of Windows (Vista, XP) are having identical issues. Paradox Interactive, the company that made this game, is of no help. I spent time on the "support" section of their Web site, but it didn't help.
So do yourself a favor, save some of your hard-earned money and some of your precious time: do not buy this game to then spend hours looking on the Internet to find ways to fix this non-functioning game.

I can't believe people are rating this a 5. I've played Hearts of Iron I & II from Paradox and those were good fun. This however has little real game play interaction, combat is boring and never seems to end. There is no process for how combat is resolved. One navel battle took 3 weeks and this game is supposed to be historically accurate, where fantasyland? And of course there's the computer player which makes up it's own rules as it goes. If you're looking for something decent try one of the "Total War" games as they are probably the best. If you feel like wasting your money go buy grass seed, you'll enjoy yourself more watching the grass grow.
