Europa Universalis III Chron App Reviews

This game is very good, as you run a nation and try to balance all your talents into creating an empire-without accumulating to much infamy (taken for every province you have that is not a core). I have a couple suggestions-but the game is excellent. First of all, Castille always becomes a superpower, especially in Africa. I now hate "Castillian Africa". Second, Russia rarely forms. Give those nations a chance. Third, either England or France will ALWAYS collapse. I have literally never seen France become a great power. Fourth, army administration, and national administration is very limited. It annoys me that you only have to have 1 or 2 generals because they can teleport around the world in a second. And it also annoys me that when I want to supply and fund ONE unit or one army I have to supply my entire force. There are no ministers (in the gov) and the monarchs importance is limited. Also there are no governers in the provinces, the king cant do everything. Lastly, I feel like I am often sitting around waiting for my infamy to go down. If the government administration was there, I would have much more fun during peacetime. But, mostly great fun. Excellent game. These are just my annoyances, but I am more of a micromanger than most people.

The game works great on my Macbook Pro. I had no trouble downloading it and it plays wonderfully. The game covers all the aspects of empire building I enjoy from resource management to invasion. The game contains a wealth of different countries to try out which is really cool. This allows me from saving money from having to buy several different games. Im very pleased with this purchase. My only complaint, is that there is no manual, perhaps on the website?

This game is my favorite game of all time. I randomly bought it back in 2007 and I have not regretted nor stopped playing it since. Outstanding!

I find that this port of EU3 is great and works fine for the most part. But every now and then it does crash, and I am also missing textures for the buildings menu when you click on your provinces. It also crashes when forming Spanish nation for some reason. An update with bug fixes would make this a five star rating.

Frustrating to invest time only to have to start over after a crash. Have played twice and crashed twice.

but their is a few issues when you click on the build menu, some buildings are just black.

This game was horribly boring. I could not build or do anything. It was going to take 100 years to research one piece of technology and in the meantime I basically just sat there and stared at the clock while it wound. I am sure I am missing something, but all of the options were restricted.

I played and loved Europa Universalis 1 & 2 but stopped playing games on my computer for a few years. When I saw version 3 was available I jumped but I wish I hadn’t. The tutorials are terrible and yes, as an experienced player of the previous versions I need tutorials. The introduction to the interface is sparse but decent enough. Then comes the indiscribably bad tutorial on units. Sure, I made an army and the tutorial recognized that. Then I moved it to Brandendurg. Nope the tutorial doesn’t know I did that. So ends the first tutorial. The second is about colonization which I sorta figured out but guess what? Yep, the tutorial doesn’t guide me any further. Meanwhile this game was ported by one company and semi-supported by another. It is supposed to include several extra games that were originally extra content but it doesn’t. I gather one must first get a registration number and register the game with Paradox - but that’s a Paradox because the registration number comes from Virtual Programming which seems to take weekends and Mondays off. Maybe more than that, I don’t know. Without the tutorials I’m at a loss. Maybe I’ll re-rate the game in the future but for now, if I could give it a negative star rating, I would. And now I’m off to rate another game - the game that returned me to Mac games - Xcom. Paradox and Virtual, if you are paying attention, this is how you do it right.

The multiplayer interface has to be the worst I have seen and is not compatible with my computer. Trying to navigate the auxilliary website associated with this product is a joke. Trying to get your money is close to impossible.

I’ve been playing this game for years now. It never gets old, and it’s heaps of fun. Absoloutly would recomend buying. Gonna play it right now actually.

This game was perfectly fine until they decided to fix bugs wtch made it even worse. I cant click and hold to make a box to select my armies and the game crashes every five minutes. Please fix this

This is pretty buggy and overall pretty horrible. I am unable to change the video settings at all. Also, if you’re into changing/editing gamefiles, you can’t with this version as it’s read only. Go get the steam version. If you waite for a sale you could pick it up for $2-3. Works perfectly and also can be modded if that’s what you like. Only downside is that the “Heir to the Throne” and “Divine Wind” expansions aren’t available there (which is fine, they don’t add that much value anyways).

This game worked great until the most recent update. I have had this game for at least three years and had no problems until yesterday when it updated automatically. Please address your most recent update. You have ruined a GREAT game.

Just downloaded the game, not even playing 5 minutes and it already crashed!!

I have played this game a ton. Its complex and takes a lot to learn it. But thats fun for me. I really enjoyed forging empires and learning about the world at the same time! Forming Italy from Milan. Rebuilding the Byzantine Empire was quite a story! Conquering the new world as England. And of course trying out tribes, and hordes which rebel like crazy. EU4 looks awesome and so does Crusader Kings two. I really want to try those games out when I get a newer computer. I have a Mac Book Early 2008. The update will not even go though on my computer.

application won’t start. It also quite on its own … I suggest a fix of that ASAP. I really like the game but until that issue is solved 2 stars is as good as it gets … the 2. star is because I like the game …

Title says it all. I very much enjoy this game, but its unbearable how often it crashes. The game also is very glitchy, for example my rulers sometimes die and need to be replaced upon loading a saved game, and there are all sorts of glitches in the graphics.

See title. Six weeks ago I played with no problem, now the game has to go through a “verificaiton” process when I open it, and then doesn’t open. What gives?

This is not your average strategy game. It’s very hard to get into the gear of game if you’re used to playing AoE or Command and Conquer. But once you get a sense for the game play its well worth the time you put into it. It’s a well crafted, carefully thought out, highly addictive game!
