Description
Europa Universalis II invites you to a global struggle for supremacy from the dark times of Jeanne D'Arc to the flaming wars of Napoleon. As the leader of a country you have to guide domestic and foreign policies. Engage in religious struggles, set up expeditions to claim the New World, lead your country to prosperity and victory. Send your Privateers to roam the seven seas, muster mercenaries to bolster your defences, and send missionaries to convert infidels to your State Religion.

Interact with true historical events and persons to determine which path your nation will take in the game. The new game includes an elaborate and expanded system for diplomacy, trade, military might and development. It also includes new graphics, music, sound, manual and a new tutorial system to lower the learning curve.
  • The possibility to demand or offer any combination of provinces, gold and diplomatic agreements as a result of peace.
  • Europa Universalis II expands history's greatest cause of war "Religion", introducing Hinduism, Confucianism and Buddhism. Cultural groups based on linguistic differences between peoples have also been introduced to portrait the difficulty with which one controls the subjects of another culture during different time periods.
  • A brand new event engine that produces historical, random and special events. The event engine is designed to let the player create his own events making it very fun to build scenarios. Many of the events have multiple choices.

Learn the Europa engine

You can use the early Paradox titles to learn the basics of the Europa engine before continuing to the modern games based on the Clausewitz engine. This game is stable and offers reasonable challenges. I've enjoyed my playtime.

Great game but the game frequently crashes and there appears to be no solution for this common problem.

EU IV < EU II < EU III

It might not be as good as EU III but it's far better than EU IV. Get it while it's free.

Great game if you have an old computer

Unfortunately the lack of a windowed mode or support for modern monitors makes this game unplayable. It was an awesome game though. And if eventually they patch this to add a windowed mode, it'll be totally worth to revisit. But as it currently is, unless you have an old monitor, give it a pass.
