I absolutely love this game and the direction paradox is taking to not only make the game more fun and challenging with the the new custom nations and the new game modes for the new expansion, it's honestly makes my day when i can sit done and relax and grind through through the game over the course of the few hours of free time i have everyday. I love the excitement of when i can create my ideal nation and take it into a completely random world as well as adjust for a flat base tax that puts everyone on a fair footing at the start. The only thing i don't like about the flat base tax option is if you colonize you get the best base tax provinces in the game but also the sever diminishment of other nations that have a strong start, this can be good for new players to the game; however for vetren players that like the challenge of overcoming Castille, Burgundy, Austria, and France in Europe. It tends provides less entertainment when you can make a few allies and curb stomp the weak Austria off the map as Ulm. In short it's still an overall great game and worth the money spent for countless hundreds of hours of replayablitity Europa Universalis series provide the player especially if you like to do the grand campaign challenge of running from CK II-EU III-Victoria II from the Dark Ages up until the sparked conflict of the first Great War and the beginings and Rise of the Third Riech in 1936.
