I want to get one of the two paradox games Europa Universalis 3 collections or Hearts of Iron 2 Doomsday for my laptop (HOI 3 won't run) and I am not sure which one to get.
I am interested in both timelines equally so that is not an issue. I know EU3 is over a much longer timeline but I am guessing that the pure intensity of HOI 2 being a world war makes up for the lack of years in EU where diplomacy and other factors probably come into play more.
I have never played a strategy game like this before (or any strategy game) and understand they are complicated and am willing to learn. Historical accuracy is a bonus for me but I am not the kind of gamer where inaccuracy will ruin my game, it is important but not that important that it has a big bearing on my choice.
For those who have played both:
Which game has the best AI?
Which game would you say is the most rewarding?
Which game is the most fun/exciting?
Which would you suggest and why?
I have been trying to make a decision for a week now and I still don't know. It is not worth getting both as either game has a massive lifespan I reckon meaning the other would just be left.
