The award-winning hit of last year that changed our perception of strategy games forever is now followed up by a sequel that expands the scope of one of the greatest strategy games ever made. From the medieval battles of Jeanne D'Arc to the fantastic empires of the Incas to the flaming wars of Napoleon, Europa Universalis II invites you to take the seat as the ruler of a superpower for 400 epic years.
Now for the first time in history you get the chance to take on the role of the Colonizing Might of Spain, the feudal warlords of Samurai Japan as well as the small trading nation of Genoa. In a game where you battle against one of the most advanced AIs or meet a multitude of human opponents over LAN or the Internet--history is truly in your hands...

The sequel includes new features, new player nations and a huge period of history to sink your teeth into. The game starts in 1419--the 100 years war between France and England has been going on for over 80 years and the English troops are outside the walls of Paris--and ends with the rise and eventual fall of one of Europe's greatest strategists, Napoleon.
