History Lessons

A new batch of Paradox Strategy titles comes to GOG.com, just in time for yet another floor of the Bundle Tower! That's <span class="bold">Europa Universalis II</span>, <span class="bold">Europa Universalis: Rome Gold</span> and <span class="bold">Hearts of Iron II: Complete</span> - our bundle of <span class="bold">History Lessons</span>!

<span class="bold">Europa Universalis II</span> is very much like the original title - but with a longer timeline, hundreds of new provinces and playable countries, and even more detail combined with quality of life improvements. It's the sequel to the award winning (and groundbreaking) strategy title that's spawned so many of Paradox Entertainment's future games - including the two released today.
One of EU's direct descendants, <span class="bold">Europa Universalis: Rome Gold</span> also known simply as Rome, brings the familiar gameplay into 250 years of Roman history, with a few twists like a fully 3D-map, and a story that can start all the way back in the year 27 B.C. The Gold release also includes the Vae Victis expansion pack.
<span class="bold">Hearts of Iron II: Complete</span>, like any Paradox sequel, is both deeper and more streamlined than the previous entry, offering an all-around improved hour-by-hour World War 2 grand-strategy simulation full of historical detail, and tactical depth. Small-scale invasion scenarios to all out global war - this one has you covered.

Learning history has never been more fun, than with the Bundle Tower <span class="bold">History Lessons</span>, available now 75% off on GOG.com!
EU2 was my first PC game and I never went back to consoles after that. Just might buy it if nothing else interesting pops up in the next few bundles.


edit: Hearts of Iron 2 came out in 2005, not 2009. Thats when HoI 3 came out

WOW! Heaps of good strategy games premiere on gog.com in a PROMO! I bought AoW3 expansion today, but it looks like my wallet will become very thin...
Awesome releases! Instabought!
I'm thinking about getting the History Lessons bundle, but I just want to know: how easy is it to get into "grand strategy?" Looks like it might be a tad bit daunting.
Happy to see EUII and EU:Rome are here!
Next step, For the Glory and EUIII. :)

More likely For the Glory - A Europa Universalis Game, Arsenal of Democracy: A Hearts of Iron Game, Darkest Hour: A Hearts of Iron Game and Europa Universalis 2 - Asian Chapters (and maybe even Crown of the North AKA Svea Rike III). Then Europa Universalis III Chronicles, Hearts of Iron 3 complete and Sengoku (and maybe March of the Eagles).

Here's few possible choises from games published by Paradox Interactive:
Knights of Honor
Sword of the Stars: Complete Collection
East India Company Collection
Commander: Conquest of the Americas Complete
Supreme Ruler: Cold War
Supreme Ruler 1936
Pirates of Black Cove
Warlock: Master of the Arcane Complete Edition
Cities in Motion Collection
A Game of Dwarves Complete
Impire Complete

Now go vote, the lot of you! :-p

That's not necessary but thanks :).

Keep it up Paradox. Most of your games are DRM-free...(technically all of them but the new ones are using steamworks *sigh*)
