MODERATORS
Got a recommendation for someone who has never played any of these games?
Victoria 3 is the most accessible of them and is also the most intuitive to a socialist. It has a wonderful feedback loop between economic and social improvement, captures a really interesting period of 19th-20th century history, and the modding community is strong.
Europa Universalis V is the most in-depth if you want to get lost in history. It has so much detail and covers a 14th-19th century timespan across the globe. However it's harder to learn than Victoria.
Crusader Kings III is like if The Sims had a complex genetics model and took place in a really detailed 9th-14th century simulator. Its UI is harder to learn than Victoria, but it has the most individual character development. There's also a really fun post-apocalyptic mod called After the End.
Thanks!
