This game is probably the best simulator of the 19th century there is. This will be a picture lets play of Prussia as it turns into the German Empire. We are starting in 1865 about 10 or about 100 or so turns in to the game.

One of our coastal forts. It's purpose is to repel an enemy seaborne attack and defend the Baltic coast.



Our rapidly aging navy has been rendered obsolete by ironclad ships which I cannot currently afford.



Economic and trade flows in this case for coal show that we have a lot of satasfied customers. Especially the Japanese who have a trade fleet in the North Sea.



Similarly Steel Kruppstahl is a global export as well. And the US is our number one customer.



Strangely chemicals seem to be sent to South America primarily. Wonder why?




While the UK loves our dyes for fabric.



While the USA who has a lot of rebuilding from the ACW to do is buying a lot of wood from us.

In depth army update later now I need sleep.

looks complicated.

Strategy games of any sort usually are.

PC games (not games ported to PC from consoles) tend to often be complicated just by default (WAY moreso than most console titles), but strategy games can be hyper complex even compared to those.

And this one is put out by Paradox, who does the most complicated of all.

Games like this are DEEP though and tend to have extreme replayability. They're the sort that alot of players will get hundreds of hours out of. I often get into this sort for those very reasons.

Typically though games like this have a nasty learning curve. These do NOT hold your hand one bit; they dump you in the deep end and say "Okay, good luck, try not to die horribly!"

The most common problem with this sort.... and particularly with Paradox's games... is a lack of a tutorial that ISNT terrible.

Technically ageod is owned by matrix games which has produced some of the most challenging strategy games on the market. Including this one if I might add but it is very addicting to try to get the economy sorted out.

The Garde korps is really a full Army, one of five facing the French border. It has 4 Infantry Korps, a division of militia, 5 divisions of light and heavy cavalry and a lot of artillery. I also have sappers and engineers as well as a field hospital. Lets take a closer look at the Guard regiments.



The regiment is equipped with breach loading rifles and has better stats than most of my regiments but is more expensive in terms of state funds and prestige.
