A slow-paced, methodical grand strategy where careful management of industry and military over years of turn-based play determines the outcome.

What players say
Players praise the simple yet deep grand strategy, especially the meaningful civilian population and challenging economy. Many say minor nations like Netherlands or Argentina are surprisingly fun. Some note the AI is weak and territory expansion is limited, while others find the resource management too painful.
