This is AGEOD at its best, with all the usual fare: army and unit creation to your own liking, decision cards for religious and political change mingle with more military minded decisions, such as siege and mercenary recruitment cards. If you've enjoyed any of their previous games, you'll love this. So far the game has been very stable and the turn time resolution is very fast. If you are interested in the period, this will give you many happy days of wargaming.. Constant crashes prevent from enjoying this cool game.. The game crashes at very turn for me. Also, I am sick an tired of the developers(AGEOD) exploting their fan base and then releasing half-finished games like this one. The fact that you get "(...)" as unit description even after around ten titles released by the developer, becomes just outrageous. Did they really not have the time to put in some flavour and unit descriptions?? No time to type half a para for a unit (of which there are probably twenty five per scenario)?This game needs a better commitment from the developers. They just cannot pose as "niche game developers" and use that as an excuse not to do elimentary stuff while the niche wargammers flock to them out of compulsion as there is no other game which models supply and other realstic factors in such detail yet.. AGEOD formula done right. I really like the AGEOD's games concept but they all crash many times during the game.The longer you play, the more it crashes.That's a real shame because the games are really good.So I would like to give it a thumbs up if it weren't for the frequent crashes.. I have \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665ed and moaned repeatedly that Steam should give us the 3rd option apart from thumbs up or thumbs down and Thirty Years' War is a prime candiatate for the wavering thumb.Ok its brilliant in concept and covers most of this war in great detail.But then again where are the French? Omitted it seems. Worse, the tutorial, which beginners like me must cling to is an unmitigating mess.The instruction sprawl out ot their box and obscure what they are telling you to do.So there are then boxes to try and shift with provinces getting picked up and cluttered in with it.Meanwhile the instructions chug on even though you aren't sure you are in the right country any more let alone which stack to merge.I have a reasonable knowledge of German geography in the 17th century but a lot of the time I wouldn't have a clue where I was supposed to be,or how to do what I was supposed to be doing and the instructions were most likely obscuring it any way..I understand it's complex stuff and some brain is required to get to understand a clever game but the tutorial is a mess and the instructions construed poorly. The music is splendid , the game looks very good,and even a nit picker like me could not find anything wrong historically save the missing French. Ok,why the thumbs down? I want to play this game,and wasn't cheap either but I really can not be bothered wading through the awful tutorial again now......perhaps another day....a bit sad... It crashes on start up when the game loads :( WIsh it would work.
