Is it still worth playing?
You can lead any country in the world, starting on 1 January 1936 or 14 August 1939, in single player or multiplayer, in this 2016 grand strategy wargame centered on the Second World War. You can follow a nation's historical path or lead it down non historical ones. Military factories produce equipment and dockyards build ships, and both are built with civilian factories. Civilian factories also build other buildings, make consumer goods for the population and oversee trade. Most nations begin with many civilian factories making consumer goods, and as the nation mobilizes more are freed for other uses. The economy that feeds a war is the heart of the game, as it still is.
