Paradox Interactive has built a reputation for creating some of the most detailed strategy games on PC, and Europa Universalis 5 looks like its most ambitious entry yet. Spanning five centuries of history from the Middle Ages to the Napoleonic era, the game introduces a 2000-step tech tree, a population simulation system, and estate-based politics that force you to balance the interests of nobility, clergy, and commoners.
