So here's my list of issues with EU3, since do I ever do things in my reviews other than complain? There's an obvious idea of mixing Total War style battles with EU3 style campaign, but EU3 is extremely complex and would probably be inaccessible to most casual players, and it would be far too easy, since any half-competent human player can crush AI in Total War battles even with significantly smaller armies. You could vaguely compare it to Total War games, but without battles, and with a lot more complex and deeper campaign mode. Over the last couple of weeks I've been playing Europa Universalis 3.
