Avoid Victoria. The developers stuck rigidly to a series of "historical rules" they created for themselves, with the result that gameplay frequently has nothing to do with the user controls, and timed events produce bizarre results. (As I recall, Russia's population doubled in 20 years during the latter part of the 19th century--because the rest of Europe was experiencing a depression, don't you know.) And the head of the development team is a very mulish sort who sent angry letters to several magazines when their reviews pointed out his game's shortfalls. :rolleyes:

As for Napoleon's Ambition, I've yet to get it, but I'm seriously considering it.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

Well i bought Victoria when it came out and did have a lot of fun with it but it is the least favourite of my PAradox games due to the micromanagement. You spend more time managing your economy than anything else ;)

The EU series and Crusader Kings are my favourites.
