Looking for my next AGEOD title and would welcome your advice. I have been playing Civil War II and have enjoyed it immensely. I prefer the grand strategy, long running campaigns on a large scale. The bigger & longer the game is, the more I like it. What other titles would you recommend after finishing Civil War II? Any period is fine, as I like all eras...

If it's about length, there is really nothing beating Pride of Nations. If you pick the 1850 scenario, you will have 1680 turns to play. That will keep you occupied for a very, very long time. PON however is not only a military game, but primarily about nation building - there will be wars along the road of course, but you will also spend a lot of time building up your nation. It is grand strategy in the truest sense of the word, as it offers you the entire globe.

Revolution under Siege is more comparable to CW2 in that it is primarily a military endeavor, but the scope is vast, as it depicts the entire Russian Civil War from European Russia till Vladivostok on the Pacific Coast. The grand campaign goes from 1917-21, and there are three sides to play, so there is definitely replay value if it is a military-oriented game on a large scale you are looking for.

And of course To End All Wars is coming out today. :)

Thanks. Yes, I enjoy seeing how a long campaign game develops over time, so length is a consideration. I would also add detail and scope, but all of the AGEOD titles seem to have that...I will look at your suggestions...they are all intriguing
