I know what you're thinking; video games are for the limp-wristed, and... you're right. But tell me this - where else can you invade an impoverished nation, trade their natural resources, and then outsource the locals to fight in wars over lands they've never heard of? Certainly not in reality anymore!
This intricate strategy game covers everything from sinking the French and Spanish on various trade routes that, by God, naturally belong to the British, to getting all your French and Spanish chums in neat little columns of rank and file to be shredded by cannon and cavalry. Why not marginalize a once proud tribe? Educate your towns across the world so they come up with new technologies to aid you in vanquishing foes more efficiently, then enlist dragoons to lead cavalry charges on the locals when their fine education leans too far towards reform.
Jove, if you wanted to, you could conquer Paris just to increase taxation! Muahahaha. In short, a no-holds-barred historical strategy game covering all the ins and outs of warfare in the age of empire.
