Europa Universalis III Chron App Reviews

A great strategy game, covering historical times. You’re the leader of a post medieval European country that you pick (choose the recommended easy ones when you start, my advice :). For theose who like Civilization, this is a step further in richness … and complexity. After 30 hours or so of play, there are still a number of concepts that I don’t master (and the pdf guide is not always very clear). Despite this, and some improvable interface points, I grant the 5 stars for the impressive simulation engine and captivating gameplay.

game works fine, but there is no way to choose one of the expansion packs mentioned in the discription

Graphics from stone age, terrible user interface + absolutely overwhelming complexity. I never survived more than 60 years, doesn’t matter which nation is taken.

I would love to rate this app but after downloading I get "Europa Universalis III Chronicles" is damaged and cant be opened. Delete it and download it again from the App store. Just did that for the second time and same error message. Funny there never seems to be an issue with taking payment just delievering the goods.

Whether youll like this game depends on your definition of gaming fun. If your idea of gaming bliss is sitting down with Angry Birds, then this may not be the best choice for you. If, however, youre willing to invest some time in understanding the inter-related systems behind Europa Universalis 3, youll find this to be a deep and rewarding game. I dont say that to knock people who like Angry Birds, but to make sure that people who buy this know that they will have to invest some time to get the most of the game. The 1.02 version finally comes with the manuals, but the game went through four expansions, each of which revised game mechanics significantly. Youll have five manuals on the launch screen. Check out the Paradox Interactive forms and the EU3 Wiki to help you understand whats happening under the hood. If youre willing to invest the time, this is a phenomenal gaming experience.

This game has interesting strategy and tactics involved, however the interface is to get used to. You will need a bit of google and wiki searches to get to understand all options. Some options are well hidden. Saving is crucial so to avoid unpleasant events through out the game. The AI does some irrational moves and dont excpect too much of his help in case you are allied. You can play with any nation, however I suggest you start somewhere in western Europe.

After updated it two weeks ago,this game kept crashing every time when i was trying to play it. Why release the update package in the first place??Plz fix it

Gameplay is good. However, I could not type in _(under bars) nor use the copy paste command. Please fix this.

The game does not work when you start

It always crash in some moments and you must restart the game using cmd+Q Some files arent translated or upluad to the game so there are for examples files with written extension (.txt, .dsg)… Missing very texts and a lot of bugs. I gave 5/5 rate, because i had this game on pc long time ago :D Please fix that, i want a play without changing from osx to win :<<<

Hello, Excuse me, but Russian language in the game is not working... Its very bad, cose I know English, but game is very difficult and I want to read on my language... Pls, fix this problem. Tnx.

I have the same isuue as denksen: when I press "single player" the game is pending and is not working. How to solve this problem? У меня такие же затруднения как и у denksen: когда нажимаю "одиночный игрок" игра виснет и не работает. Как решить данную проблему?

Freezes every time when trying to play in Russian=(((

The program which I bought doesnt support Russian language.

I just bought it a few minutes ago and everytime I start a game it just keeps freezing after clicking on the date to start the time… no way!!!

Cannot play at all! MBpro with Lion. No way.

Loved the concept and the depth of the game. * Needs an immediate update on manuals. i dont know how to play!

Dont get me wrong, I love Europa Universalis 3, but for all the problems the game had when first put on the App Store, it was still good and playable. The latest update changes that, breaking selection of your armies and fleets and getting information about enemy armies and fleets. The latest version does speed up performance and adds some nice new features like additional map modes, but it doesnt matter when you face all these issues with one of the most important elements of the game. It used to be that you would just hover over a unit to get information about it and could then click it to select -- no longer though, as you now must zoom in to such a high degree that you can see the little 3D model to get any information about it. And even this can be a little fiddly, and is definitely a major issue when fighting wars or just dealing with reorganizing your forces. Hopefully Virtual Programming or Paradox will fix this bug quickly. Once this truly terrible bug is fixed, Im sure youll find EU3 to be great fun, a sandbox-ish type of game where you can point your country to almost any goal you so desire, but until then its mired in tedious zooming in and out.

This game has a wonderful story conceit, fantastic depth of actions, and it is wonderfully impossible to play. Its not that the game is too hard. Its that the interface is attroious. Popups appear with annoying regularity. It is difficult to maneuver military units. The map scrolling and zooming is erratic. The various menus are not well organized. Abbreviations are used in the game with no explanation as to purpose. There is no accompanying documentation. The tutorial is insufficient. It is too bad this fantastic concept is burdened by bad execution.

Amazing game but needs a manual
