AGEOD releases new specialist strategy title set in the Colonial Wars. Although we do not find this setting to be the most attractive among all those available, the game takes advantage of the incredible accuracy of the company and its historical research. This is almost a must for fans of the most realistic strategy, resigned to have very few titles of this level of quality.
If Pride of Nations is guilty of anything, it's simply guilty of being unimaginative. But what it lacks in imagination it makes up in historical fidelity and sheer depth.
Friends of complex and detailed historical turn-based strategy games will certainly have no problems to invest much time and patience in Pride of Nations, but everyone else will probably despair at the lack of comprehensibility.
if you like to spend a lot of time thinking about organising an army and love historical accuracy, then you might add 10 points to our review score. But if you want to go to battle and prefer a logical system for research and economy, try the demo first.
Another turn-based strategy of standard "Paradox" quality is more of an add-on than a regular game – five campaigns -however interesting they are-they don't give a full-value game. [Issue#207]
