    Thanks Voigtkampf, I was wondering how much of a "full" game MotE was, and that second paragraph really helped me out. The rest of the review was excellent and I can't wait to check the game out.

    Personally I think the game really shines in multiplayer. Singleplayer, the AI is a bit wonky at times and does things counter productive (like annexing instead of making nations satellites, as satellites give way more troops to your war effort) but it's still a neat game.

    If anything it reminds me of Sengoku in that it feels like an experimental game before another big title, in the way Sengoku preceeded CK2, MotE preceeds EUIV.

    I think for single playing , the time of it is very short , just 20 years. I think it isn't worth to buy is it? it's really far from CK2 or EU3!

    Well, yeah. It's 20 years but the game time moves a lot slower. It's not as slow as heart's of iron where you go through every hour, but it's close. The game felt to me like a really stripped down version of EU with an improved version of CK2's combat ontop of it. I don't know about buying it purely for singleplayer since that almost missed the point, MotE strikes me as a game meant for multiplayer.

    Gregoshi-sama... thank you... I think. The still depicting this video is creepy.

    And to continue with the theme, here are the details about how to get the March of the Eagles key. Special offer for the Org members; in case you got no Twitter or FB account, you can simply enter your "plea" in this thread. Good luck, y'all!

    Yeah, sorry, that still is rather creepy. And I simply meant you bring goodness to the Org with your give-aways.

    I know you meant that. You are too kind, as always.
    Do not hesitate to compete for the game if you feel like playing it. You can also get the demo from Steam to check it out if you feel like you may not enjoy it enough and are holding back because of that.

    PS I'll be adding more games to giveaways on a regular basis from now on. Stay tuned.
