For the Glory changes are very subtle to the casual observer: rebalanced starting conditions, country-specific sprites, the alerts from EU3, increased mod support, better AI. Still, it’s really only for the EU2 mod community.

For the Glory is still being played. I’m frankly having a hard time understanding how it’s superior to EU2 with free mods attached – different map modes and expanded event limits aside.

Expect a rule report on it soon.

I bought this today based on seeing your post here (they owe you a commission!) It’s a lot of fun. The user interface is great. Sure, the graphics are archaic, but I prefer simple graphics to sexy graphics that aren’t tight, and it’s really expensive to do sexy graphics well. This works nicely. I don’t like miniature games but it plays like a Command & Colors: Ancients on steroids. I’m flying thru scenarios against the computer in 10, 15 minutes. Good times.

Hmm, looks interesting. Nice touch making a netbook-friendly wargame too, which may well sway me towards a purchase.

Bit of a shame about the tremendously spartan look of the thing, but then I suppose we’re used to that kind of thing in wargames by now. Still, a little more care on the presentation wouldn’t have hurt.

I think I may look into this. It seems to be a good deal for those that cannot get miniature gaming groups together
