The OST for this great like the other old school TW games. If you can find the mod to play all factions it makes the game very enjoyable and makes you appreciate the days before everything of dlc greed kicked in.

I may be odd to say this but I like this more than any other war band out there. The Viking Warband mod comes in second for me, but this title game me hundreds of hours of fun playing it from gamersgate a few years back. There are a few broken quests in this game, but other than that, I suggest you buy and play until Warband 2 comes in another 5 years or so...

If you like other Ageod strategy games like CW2, 30 years war, etc. this one is just as good. It is very detailed like all their games and once you get over the learning curve, the more you will emerse yourself into the game. I have owned this game for sometime, but a grad class I am taking is having me write about the simulation, so I figured I would rate the game as well.
Final notes:
Trench warfare does exist in this game. It just gives to an opportunity to exploit the breech and then it becomes a game of flanks. The only negative for this game is the time it takes to process between turns. Find something to do for a min or two when you press the button for the turn.

This game is addicting to say the least. Reminds me of the good ole days of Sim City, but this baby is on steroids. Kudos to Paradox making another gem here.

I know many of the DLC have gotten crap as of late but I recommend this one alone for the music tracks because they are so good. Currently I am playing as Wessex and purposely incorporated in Bolgar into my bloddline just to have the tracks appear.

The portraits are great as well and adds flavor.

If money is the problem, just add it to your wishlist like I do and wait for a sale. It always comes around sooner or later.

Thumbs up for sure for sales!

If you are a Paradox fan like me, this game will please you. The detailed representation of the Civil War that is packed into this game is shock and awe from everything to dipictions of officers to the variety of units.

Now, I have been eyeing this game for some time now and picked it up on sale with the dlc for 25 bucks and I can't stop playing it. Not sure what the negative reviews are about with stability, I have had no issues at all and I have a good, not great rig running it.

If you love historical simulation like me, get this game. There is no other like it for the USCW.

Only con I find for this game and it is nothing major is scrolling with the map. It is nowhere as smooth as a Paradox game. At the same time the map is extremely detailed, more detailed than any other simulator I have played.

I fully endorse this game and plead to anyone who loves the Civil War and Historical Simulation to buy and play this game.

I don't think I will ever stop playing this game if Paradox keeps releasing dlc. I had the opportunity to see this game at the PI Convention in NYC in person with the creators and I knew this game would be a hit. There is so much depth historically, gameplay, simulation, hell this is the ultimate sandbox in everyway.

Yes I am a Paradox fan boy in many ways but I am critical when need be for their games. That being said, buy this game if you love historical simulation. You will not be disappointed.

Been playing Europa since the first instalment and still is the best franchise out there for a historical simulator. If you love history and geography, this game is a must.

If you are a Paradox Fan, grab this game. The only thing that is really lame to me is the music is no where on par with their other titles. So mod it and put your own tunes on it for the perfect game!
