After a few hours, you're done with nearly any of them. Victoria is not one of these games. After a few hours you're still early in the learning cycle, but you're having fun, and you are just starting a long-term relationship with a great game. You have to approach Victoria differently than a simpler game. Download the latest patch (1.03c as of this review), go to the Paradox website to review the advice to new players, and play as an easy country for your first game. I suggest Sweden (ignoring the military) so you learn the economic system, and eventually build up to playing countries like the USA, before taking on the UK or Russia. What you'll get is the ability to play an incredibly detailed recreation of the world as it was 1835-1920. You can play as any of dozens and dozens of countries, from Japan to Sardinia-Piedmont, from the Confederate States of America to Prussia. You advance scientifically, developing and buildign railroad, advancing politically (if you like), moving from Monarchy to democracy. There are shortcomings to the game. The manual contains information on what is in the game, but not much on how you *should* play. The Paradox forums provide plenty of advice, however. There's a reason for this - once you learn the game, you'll get far more playing time for the tiny price Amazon wants for this game than you will out of nearly anything else you play (that isn't by Paradox, that is). Others have already realized what a great game Vicky is, and they are eager to share the joy with the rest of us. This is a deep, sometimes difficult game, but it is worth the effort. It offers more replayability than any game I have ever seen from any other publisher. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you?

You can not only decide who's tail to kick, but you can also decide what rights to give your people, and how conservative or liberal your nation will be. On the military level, the game is pretty much what you might expect from other Paradox games. The one exception is that, unlike Hearts of Iron, the troops themselves gain experience instead of commanders. Otherwise, it won't be any thing unfamiliar. Troops still move out to ships at sea, they can land any where (not beaches like Hearts of Iron), and moral can be more decisive than numbers. On the political scene (country via country) things are fairly the same but more fleshed out to reflect Paradox's earlier games. As you could in Europa Universalis II, you can make demands to end wars and don't have to annex the entire nation to gain territory (as you had to in Hearts of Iron). Interesting, however, is the extra feature of "negotiat Source: http://www.amazon.com/Victoria-Empire-Under-Sun-pc/dp/B0000VYKX2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1329530030&sr=8-1
