It is wort nothing that this game is technically Europa Universalis 1, Svea Rike II was Europa Universalis II and Svea Rike III actually starts to resembles the Europa Universalis we actually saw coming. This is therefore not only for the Swedish audience, but it's a cult classic need to be made available to all lovers of Europa Universalis. And while playing they can learn and enjoy a piece of Swedish history =) Fun nostalgia is also that the game was made a board game, and the expansion is (as far as I know) one of the more expensive ones to get a hand over.

This game had me very invested as a kid. The historical events taught me a lot about Swedish kings, scientists, artists and how events like the Reformation shaped Sweden. Granted, I was not very good at this game.'s war part and kid me was not ashamed to use the game's built in cheats. I would love to try to play this again and refresh my history knowledge. There are also the mini-games, which were really fun and shook up the gameplay a bit. It's not super replayable. Playing as a different noble house pretty much only means you'll start somewhere else, but besides that it's a good game.

One of the games i played the most in my childhood. And it is good to learn kids about the swedish royalty history at the same time as you have fun. I played it a lot together with my brother and my parents. I still even have the game disc at home. It is so diverse. Every run depends a lot how you manage you troops, resources and if you want to fight a lot or want to keep peace. Since it is not suppported on newer machines anymore it would be nice to have it on gog and make it compatible with newer machines.

Lost Odyssey
Lost OdysseyLost Odyssey is set in a world in which a "Magic-Industrial Revolution" is taking place. While magic energy existed in all living creatures beforehand, it suddenly became far more powerful thirty years before the beginning of the game. Because of this, it has affected society greatly, with devices called "Magic Engines" harnessing this power for lighting, automobiles, communication, and robots, among other uses. While previously only a select few could wield magic, many magicians gained the ability. However, such progress has also caused two nations to develop new and more powerful weapons of mass destruction. The kingdom of Gohtza and the Republic of Uhra (which recently converted from a monarchy). Uhra is building Grand Staff, a gigantic magic engine, while the heavily industrialized Gohtza actively pursues magic research of their own. A third nation, the Free Ocean State of Numara, remains isolated and neutral, though it is falling into disarray due to a general attempting to stage a coup d'etat. Uhra, at war with Khent, a nation of beastmen, sends its forces to the Highlands of Wohl for a decisive battle at the start of the game.
