Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking short, immediately focused campaigns may hit a wall when managing long historical timelines and many national systems.
- Players who prefer tightly scripted history may bounce off the open-ended outcomes and the option to redirect major events.
- Players looking for character-centered role-playing may find the country-level focus too broad.
Our take on For The Glory: A Europa Universalis Game
The bounce point arrives when a campaign shifts from choosing a nation to managing its full historical trajectory. Players who do not want to track domestic policy, foreign relations, trade, colonization, warfare, and event-driven changes may find the country-management layer too demanding.
