Hm. Blackbeard, Conquest of Paradise, Empire of the Sun, Clash of Giants II, Grand Illusion, perhaps even Successors 3... :mmm: A massive package will be inbound? :shifty:

CoG II is the only game on that list worth buying.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
-J. R. R. Tolkien

Hm I need to consider the odd chance of playing with boardgame-liking non-wargamers... something which I might have more of in the near future. Conquest of Paradise and Successors 3 look like good choices for that. :unsure:

I was seriously unimpressed by Conquest of Paradise.  Only played it once though, felt dry and flavorless.

Anyone tried Unhappy King Charles?
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Because it is a good simulation of the conflict and ergo kinda boring :P

The Dutch game looks fun.

It's an odd game.  It takes some of the mechanisms of Tresham's Civilization and complicates it.  It's a couple of games before you even figure out what a reasonable plan of action is.

Playing as the burghers I immediately realised my victory conditions do not really overlap with anyone, so I cautiosly and silently (like an afterthought) expanded in the fishing towns, occasionaly conflicting for land. Nailed victory with the others (most of them also noobs) hardly noticing the danger until it was way too late. Much like England in HIS.
