Pride of Nations

Its becoming my favorite of the series.

Thought it would be a great game. Unfortunately, every 5-6 turns it needs to be restarted and the time it needs to go to the next turn is way longer than playing itself. Interface is really hard to use, using left mouse only results in returning problems with switching between modes. Moreover, it's really hard to click on the right stuff sometimes (in diplomacy or with fleets in ports). Units symbols are too huge for the map, so the icons of land units can be found in other provinces or even in the middle of the sea (and the player is forced to check the unit position every single time). The game has loads of indicators, but plenty of them are useless, as player has no influence on them. There's a whole research tree, but there's barely nothing you can do with it but scrolling a looong list of items. I tried to play the great campaign (since 1850), and had to give up in ~1866. Finishing the campaing will take me a year of constant playing. It's a pity, as the game is based on a great idea, but it is overcomplicated for itself. I'd gladly return to the game, but it has to be fixed first.

This is not a polished game at all, but there is no better simulator of late industrial revolution + realpolitik. I keep returning to this game like a madman)

This game will not run and I wish I had not wasted the money!!

this is a very old crussader kings game emulator

8 FPS в обучении. Игра просто пожирает время, не давая ничего в замен.

A good AGEOD game. However, there are better AGEOD games out there that are easier to grasp and can keep your enjoyment levels always full. EDIT: PBEM completely changes how PON feels, so I can fully recommend it as long as it is PBEM.

Hatte mehr erwartet.

This is the deepest and most comprehensive grand strategy game from this era. And contrary to Victoria 2 it is manageable on all levels. You probably need to play some 150-200 turns to get the full understanding but when you do, you will have a heck of a time for months.

I highly recommend the Sepoy Mutiny campaign. Very challenging.
