Victoria 2 (and indeed Victoria if there's still anyone left playing it here)

I get that, but the gameplay seems much the same.

In actual I'd say warfare is quite similar to HTTT, but there is much more to Vicky than warfare. Whereas EU3 is about controlling territory and COTs, Vicky is about developping your nation's industry, managing your population - and their response to the industrialising world, and competing with other world powers for diplomatic/trade spheres to fuel your economy. To my mind, HTTT is about creating a powerful nation or empire, Vicky is about modernising and industrialising that nation/empire and carving the rest of the world up.

In a way, I'd almost liek to see a renaissance mod for Vicky, that would allow you to have the whole pop/politics thing as well as a bit mroe detail on industry and trade that EU3 doesn't have.

I'd personaly like to see a save game converter from EU3 to Vicky 2. Sure the rush to africa would become redundant but it would be nice to see a world I've molded snce 1400 enter the imperial age.

I have to say that it's pretty difficult to "annex" another nation when it's impossible to reach to other nations farthest province. In my game China had this island of a province in Russia, which UK couldn't capture so they had a "war" that lasted for a decade before China just gave in for some reason (maybe it's because they realized that their entire nation was destroyed?).

I'm finally having my first world-war. My infamy is so high that Britain doesn't miss a chance to attack me to contain me (no way no how!!!). I've given up trying to protect my Chinese/Vietnam/Indian possessions because the Brits always outnumbers me. I'm just holding the Mediterranean with my superior (technologically) fleet and building up transports to invade UK proper. Added to that a massive recruiting drive across French Egypt/Africa and a $6m warchest I'm just going to drag this out until I have enough men to conquer UK, and then...THE WORLD!
