For your question, Crusader Kings might teach you history. It certainly plays like a boring history lesson.

Ehhh, none really. Paradox games help a little bit through events, but they're mostly good for geography since history is rewritten every game.

If you want to learn history, just read Wikipedia and ignore any injected opinions.

Its funny, because in Croatia and Bulgaria there were actual, serious, academic, discussed and voted on plans to turn albanians and gypsies into glue, soap and fertilizer.
Yes, to take undesirable humans and kill them to reuse their fats, sinews and bones, while also confiscating their property and any assets.

>>335684529
Before GSC Game World made Stalker they made some great historical rts games. Cossacks and American Conquest are great isometric rts games and also have some good proper history in them. Not just 'Russia was run by guys called Tsars one time' history, like full explanations of the politics that lead up to big wars that shaped modern Europe.
>>
>>335689526
>Cossacks

One of my favorite all time games. I played Art of War the most, and mostly against the AI.
Such a cool game, and so many good memories. Shame nobody knows it exists these days.
>>
>>335689701
AI skirmishing was great. The AI's consistent but brutal wave tactics made for great turtling games. And those campaigns were hellishly cool.
>>
>>335689776
And turtling actually required sorties, because of the HUGE range of those little cannons spitting fire at your buildings and throwing shrapnel around.
>>
>>335688030
>>335685448

Agreed.
Though I'm sure even as glue they would lack the integrity to hold things.

The more units you have, the more food you lose per second, and need to supply.
The more troops, the more gold. Every shot fired takes away coal and iron. Ships have 99999999 health and lose health each second they sail. A building has 200x the health of a pikeman, and you don't see the usual Age of Empires case of a small army of infantry hitting a building with spears until it collapses. There is just a lot of SCALE. An infantryman feels like one, a cannon feels like a cannon, a warship like a fucking warship.
>>
>>335689886
Yeah, turtling in Cossacks is more like a less aggressive version of what the AI does. If you aren't constantly churning out mobs to take out key targets you'll eventually get taken out even if you accumulate ten times as much stuff as your enemy.

Stealing artillery with Hussars was the shit. Those guys absolutely flew across the battlefield so with a big mob of them you could wipe out several smaller parties of infantry before a counterattack could be arranged.

>>335690021
The original and its expansions are like the swansong of the isometric rts. They've aged gracefully and are still interesting to play because of the streamlined design and high skill ceiling and difficulty.

From the looks of it Cossacks 3 is trying to be the original but in a 3d engine so that it can justify a decent price and haul in a new audience. It's got quite a following in Europe so it ought to do fairly well provided that they don't fuck it up.

Nobody bothers with Cossacks 2.
>>
>>335690235
>Those guys absolutely flew across the battlefield so with a big mob of them you could wipe out several smaller parties of infantry before a counterattack could be arranged.

Yes, but they absolutely SUCKED in a fight. Like, 36 pikemen could kill 76 of these guys, and suffer low casualties.
They were very much a dedicated harassment unit.

>>335690719
Mines are even more brutal in American Conquest, where the campaigns often give you one out of the way source of coal to fend off indefinite hordes of natives. If you lose it you're fucked.

The weirdly scaling mine upgrades in Cossacks make late-game raids high-stakes to the max. You can fuck somebody's production so hard if you manage to blow up a couple of their key mines.

Well I know nothing about the game but it might be including North Africa with Africa even though they have nothing to do with each other whatsoever. And in that case, pale skinned peoples may have been present in North Africa at multiple points in history.

People requested for Portugal to be added to AoE, so they were added. The expansion that added them was called African Kingdoms, since it mostly adds africans.
