Is anyone going to buy Victoria: Empire under the Sun
I plan on it, it certainly looks like a promising game.
Devolution is quite as natural as evolution, and may be just as pleasing, or even a good deal more pleasing, to God. If the average man is made in God's image, then a man such as Beethoven or Aristotle is plainly superior to God, and so God may be jealous of him, and eager to see his superiority perish with his bodily frame.

Most certainly. I loved EU2 and Hearts of Iron.

FYI it comes out tomorrow, for those who do not know.

For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be;
Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight dropping down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew
From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue;

Does anyone who has the game care to issue any reccomendations? I'm quite interested by the concept, but I've not played any of the EU series, and I'm worried about finding it overcomplicated - I get irritated with micromanaging cities in the late stages of Civilisation games, which would probably be the closest thing I've played. The period of Victoria interests me more than that of EU and EU II, but I've seen one of them going for about a fiver and think it might be a good introduction - but they do crop up in my local games shops once in a blue moon.
