Ambitious, Broad, Unreal Empire building. You wont stop Playing.
This game allows you to control an empire on world scale and either build it up economically or militarily or any in between. So many nations were put into this game it is almost unreal. It is also very historically accurate. The game has so many fun and interesting attributes incluiding managing each country with in your empire. Some times it can get tedious and overwhelming when you are launching a full front assault on another empire but if you have a strong army those revolts and rebellions can be put down easy. Although you often resort to exempting a third of regions from taxes to stop them all from rebelling at once you find that once you control and MAINTAIN a good amount of regions this becomes a very little problem.
Over All this game is comprised of all that Total War is and much much more..litterally on the world scale. If you have a good PC and you can get over the minor AI bugs and glitches you will not stop playing this game.
