Our take on Pride of Nations
The likely sticking point is the management scope: players who do not want to engage with diplomacy and a detailed world economy may hit a wall before the military campaigns. Multiplayer also uses simultaneous turns, which may not suit groups who prefer taking turns one at a time.

Set during the colonial period from 1850 through 1920, Pride of Nations lets players direct one of eight major powers: the USA, Great Britain, Germany, France, Japan, Russia, Austria-Hungary, or Italy.
The campaign covers industrial development, territorial expansion, and warfare across a worldwide map. It features diplomacy, systems for raising armies and fleets, and a global economy.
