I'm writing this mainly to reassure anyone who might be uncertain because of AngryHatters review - the game works just fine on windows 7 (and just in case it doesn't work for you there's always the return option of gog.com). Europa Universalis III was the only Paradox game I played before bying this game here, and for me it was a bit of a disappointment as I had assumed it to be more complex as it is - then again, I tend to avoid wars, so I missed out on a good deal of what was there. Still, while I probably will give this another try sometime, it's back to other games (EU3 among them) for me.
