I am a big fan of strategy games based on the Europa Universalis engine. The games are usually tough but deep, and the replay value is just plain amazing. I do however, get very aggravated when a good publisher like Strategy First decides to repackage a game, put a new name on it and sell it again to fool customers who trust them. That's what's happening with Two Thrones; it's a stripped down version of Europa Universalis: Crown of the North. It's not a Gold version, a new version or a better version of Crown of the North: It's the same thing! Even the introduction movie says Crown of the North! Stay clear of this game and go get Crown of the North from the bargain bin instead.
