Hearts of Iron, Victoria - An Empire under
the Sun, Two Thrones, Crown of the North and the acclaimed Europa
Universalis II and Europa Universalis II - Asia Chapters have all been
compiled into one extraordinary boxed set that is sure to keep strategy
fans pleased for months upon months with six classic titles.
Whether you're battling your way through
World War II or discovering the new world, the Strategy 6-Pack is
probably the most unique games pack around with its varied, addictive
and challenging gameplay that is a must have for all lovers of strategy.
Priced at an extremely affordable $29.95
that is available online from
www.auran.com or at your local computer store, the games are almost
guaranteed to run on just all modern computer systems from around the
turn of the 21st century.
Although graphically, the Strategy 6-Pack
is a little dated with similar titles of today, the majority of games
still hold up quite well, especially the Europa series or the Crown of
the North.
With that said, many of the titles are
reminiscent of board games with counters as units that have nicely made
the transition to the humble computer. Exploration, diplomacy,
resources, war and human achievement are the titles that make excellent
strategy games and this pack is no exception.
Summary of titles:
Hearts of Iron: Hearts of Iron is
the first ever World War II PC game of true Grand Strategic scope. The
game map spans the entire world and allows players to take the War to
any new front of their choosing. Any nation in the world is playable,
but the game focuses on the epic struggle between the great alliances of
the new world orders Fascism, Communism and Democracy. Hearts of Iron is
developed by the team behind the award-winning sales success Europa
Universalis I and II and brings the same depth of gameplay and
historical accuracy to a modern day gaming experience.
Victoria - An Empire under the sun:
Guide your nation from the era of absolute monarchies of the early 19th
century to evolve into a fully industrialized Great Power at the dawn of
the 20th century! You must make sure that you stay ahead in wealth and
strength, and skillfully manage the democratization process without
disintegrating.
Europa Universalis II:The award-winning hit of last year that
changed our perception of strategy games forever is now followed up by a
sequel that expands the scope of one of the greatest strategy games ever
made. From the medieval battles of Jeanne D'Arc to the fantastic empires
of the Incas to the flaming wars of Napoleon, Europa Universalis II
invites you to take the seat as the ruler of a superpower for 400 epic
years. Now for the first time in history you get the chance to take on
the role of the Colonizing Might of Spain, the feudal warlords of
Samurai Japan as well as the small trading nation of Genoa. In a game
where you battle against one of the most advanced AIs or meet a
multitude of human opponents over LAN or the Internet - history is truly
in your hands... The sequel includes new features, new player nations
and a huge period of history to sink your teeth into. The game starts in
1419 - the 100 years war between France and England has been going on
for over 80 years and the English troops are outside the walls of Paris
- and ends with the rise and eventual fall of one of Europe's greatest
strategists, Napoleon.
Europa Universalis II - Asia Chapters: Europa Universalis II: Asia Chapters
feature everything the original Europa Universalis has. In addition it
has an expanded content, 6 new Asian campaigns and new events focused on
the grand Asian campaigns as well as map changes have been done to it.
New historic opinions and views are available, that have global
implications but are not commonly accepted views of Asian history
outside of the continent, for instance, the Treasure Fleet campaign
takes the view that China has already explored much of the world. The 6
new campaigns are ‘The Treasure Fleet’, ‘Imjin Waeren’, ‘Cultural
Metamorphosis’, ‘Rebellion and Civil War’, the ‘Sengoku Period’ and 'The
Grand Asian Campaign'
Two Thones:
Two Thrones takes place in the years
between 1337 and 1490 in a time where nobility and the church held
absolute power. This was a time at the height and splendor of the
medieval period, where great achievements and chivalric deeds were all
common as were the treacherous tragedies and villainous actions of its
people. In this period new cities were founded, great castles
constructed, universities, convents and cathedrals built. Terrible wars
were fought, the Black Death extinguished near a third of Europe's
population, famine and marauding warriors were scourges to the
population. A time where noble families in France and England engaged in
an epic war for the control of the two thrones of the kingdom.
Crown of the North: Crown of the
North is based on the Europa Universalis engine and takes place in the
years between 1275 and 1340 in a time where nobility and the church held
all the power and Sweden was about to launch into civil war. Play as
Norway, Sweden or Denmark and plot to change the historical legacy of a
region seldom explored!
