There are certain goals that many of the main countries get assigned but for the most part this game is a sandbox that allows you to follow or alter history. Straight forward goals would not allow the player to do the alter history path of the game.

This game is more complex than any other paradox game out there. It lets you dive deeper into every aspect of your country and give you greater control while expanding the ever growing pool of menus in menus in menus, but I highly recommend you give it a try.

To use your words, it is “HUD Simulator 2016", but I will say that I play both EU and the total war series and I can easily say that I enjoy paradox’s grand strategy games of the Total War series. I think you should give it a try!

So I continue to see in many user reviews (mainly on metacritic) that HoIIV is not as good as HoIIII. Their reasons always seem to be that paradox has dumbed down this version of the game and has actually made the game lose some of it core players and veterans of the series. For those who have played this game and it…

Actually they only sent ravens to the other houses. Toward the end of the episode Sansa wanted to go ask them in person, but Jon said they had no time. This leads me to believe that they did not go in person to any other houses.

This is definitely the game that I am looking forward to this summer!!!
