Age of History 3

if you like AOH2 but want a game that is more like HOI4 that isn't as difficult as HOI4 then this game is pretty good

I personally enjoyed this game and would recommend it. This is because it's extremely simple for people to get into grand strategy games. While this game doesn't have complex division templates like (Hearts of Iron IV) or an economy system as complex as (Victoria 3), it keeps things very simple. Buildings give you money, and your economy gives you more money. The stronger your economy, the better you'll do, with some small variations. By making everything simple, you can focus on painting the map and expanding your empire. The features this game has work, and it doesn't need to be more complex. While this game does use AI for its images and a few other things, I personally don't have a problem with it and think the use of AI is fair. This game's images are AI-generated, and while they don't look perfect, they're completely fine. It logically doesn't make a lot of sense for a solo developer to pay someone or spend hundreds of hours creating images of temples or different leader portraits with variants for every era and region. The use of human-made artwork on the scale expected in grand strategy games is a luxury that large video game companies can afford, not most indie games. (Age of History 3) is one of the few alternatives to the games made by Paradox and Firaxis that we have gotten. Overall, this is a simple game with many formable nations that are extremely fun. If you want deep, complex systems like those in (Victoria 3) or (Hearts of Iron IV), look elsewhere. But if you want a simple grand strategy game and don't mind AI-generated images, then this game is for you.

хорошая игра на подобие HOI4 и других игр этой серии. Подходит тем, кто не любит: мыться, женщин, траву, солнечный свет. Также подходит: социофобам, интровертам, эгоистам, гинофобам

1. Literally a solo project and feels like there's an entire team working on it. 2. Works extremely well on any hardware (if it works on mine then it 100% works on yours) 3. Every update is a major distinction from the previous one. 4. More customizability than volkswagen cars. Recommended.

For the cost, it is what you kind of expect - A (very) shallow and light version of Europa Universalis. It allows you to go bananas on your world conquest powertrip even on a lower end PC (like a cheaper laptop) and it absolutely crushes on achieving that. What it won't offer you is depth, historical consistency and a themed narative. All nations are very generic, with just a few random modifiers to make them different from one another. The mods help a lot if you want to get a semblence of historical flavour because the base game is... well not developed at all in that department (Hello King Ethelred of Napoli...). What the game does offer instead is full powertrip - The economy can just be pumped to such dumb numbers that with enough persistence you can snowball into a fully 'organic' god mode - infinite gold, absurd amounts of resources, a level of manpower so comical that your already gigantic armies just refill instantly and you can just spam build every single building into all the provinces with just a selection. The game does become pointless afterwards but achieving that is fun if you are into this sort of maniacal repetitive behaviour. Good overall game for what it tries to be, and mods do help with some variability. I rate it 8/I'm having dreams of spam increasing my Economy.

The military system ruins this game. The new economy improvements are really cool, but if you actually try and spend money towards them the AI just kills you. I really want to like this game but it's just not fun when a 1 province minor you've been ignoring just decimates your entire army as a much bigger power

Средняя стратежка, смесь второй части с хойкой и получилось это. В этой игре прикольно медитировать собирая ачивки делая разные цивилизации как убой лишнего времени, но не более. Упрощенная версия хойки, для тех кому кажется что хойка уж слишком сложная и душная, добро пожаловать! А ну и ещё уж куча ИИшки на квадратый метр, очень раздражает, но игру делает один чел так что я бы так же делал.
