This is great expansion to the EU series; it includes more depth than before. The Graphics are a big improvement over its predecessor as it has moved to a more 3d engine, the game play is smooth as the days and months flow smoothly on. The interface is straightforward to learn and should be familiar to people who already know the series. The sound remains almost the same as the last EU. In terms of plot you can take control of virtually any country that existed in the time frame of the game, once you have control It’s yours to do with as you please, however be wary as this like its predecessors this is not a strategy game where everything depends on who has the biggest war chest or horde. EUIII is a game more about decisions, actions and consequences. Every action has a reaction; therefore there is a lot to think about before you make you moves in the game. I would recommend this game to gamers who like games where you have to think out your moves carefully as it’s a game about decision making and weighing up probabilities. I think this is the best grand strategy game at present; graphically it looks nice, the interface is good, it’s historically accurate and covers all the aspect you would expect: Government, Policy, Religion, Trade, Diplomacy, Exploration, Colonisation, Land Warfare, Naval Warfare, Leadership......

EUIII was arguably better than EUII, IN rocks it.
Simply the best when it comes to multiplayer game where you can enjoy a gaming platform with in depth strategy and countless posibilities...
There is always a way to defeat an apparently more powerfull nation by the ue of spies, diplomacy, etc...

The last expansion of the EU3 series. Like the NA expansion, In Nomine makes a great game even better and adds an earlier start date. My only wish is that Paradox would add to the end date so that the game ends around 1880 instead of 1821. You can manually change the end date but the history and tech won't be there. Also In Nomine is well supported by mods from the fan base.

A game of Europa Universalis 3's scope will never be complete. However, both the original game and the expansion Napoleon's Ambition felt slightly disappointing to me who was used to Europa Universalis 2. While I appreciated the move away from historical determinism, the third installment seemed a bit too unstructured. There were other issues as well, but most of them were remedied in this, the third expansion. The new missions gave some structure both in terms of suggestions for the player and more transparent game mechanics, and dozens of other game features were improved. There is still some imbalance, some countries tend to expand monstrously and without mods the history in an In Nomine game is still just not plausible, but with all the fixes, I finally enjoy the game enough to give it five stars. For those of you who want an ultimate strategy experience - when you feel comfortable with the game, try the Magna Mundi mod. It improves the game in so many ways you never thought was possible, but on the other hand, it's really, really hard, so get comfortable with the original game first.

Quite simply the finest expansion ever. It did everything that EU3 needed doing to it and improved that already excellent game. It would be rude not to buy this.

This is an extraordinary add-on for Europa Universalis as it adds lots of features and stuff. Basically if you play Eu3 with In Nomine once you cannot return to Napoleon's Ambition once again because you will find the features awesome!

This expansion really complements EU3. It's obviously my opinion and others might not feel the same, but I always thought that EU needed some in-game goals and not only the ones that are set by yourself, so the missions were a really great addition.
The decision system also adds more choices and also involves objectives (as you need to fulfill certain conditions to pass decisions).
Even though EU3 was really complete alone, and then with NA, it's even more complete with In Nomine and any player that buys EU3 should get this one too.

In Nomine is the 2nd Expansion for Europa Universalis. It wonderfully expands on what was already added with NA and really does complete the game.
EU3 itself wasn't too historical in content but the new missions/decisions system goes a long way to improving that. While it doesn't guarentee a historical game it does give it a lot more flavour and it rewards the player for meeting certain requirements.
National Decisions have been rebalanced and a few more tech level requirements have been handed out which has been done so very well, Really making the player choose between numerous options of where they want to guide their game.
Overall a wonderful addition to EU3 it expands on EU3 and NA wonderfully, it adds a lot more historical flavour and adds much more of a challange even for veterens of the series. It is a must have expansion for anyone who buys EU3 and NA.
The extended timeline allows the player to experience some events such as the Hundred Years War in a greater scope. The additions to the Papal System are also a good addition. Being able to launch a crusade and excommunicate someone are excellent powers and really offer a reason to gain favour.

EU3+NA+IN with Magna Mundi mod is just flawless perfection of historic strategy gaming.

This is a great update to the original EU3 game! It adds and changes things in the original game, and pretty much all of the additions/changes are great in my book: changes to how missionaries and settlers work, national, religious and province decisions, expanded timeframe, more units (I believe), new events, missions, changes to spy actions, nastier rebels, etc.
This is a must buy for anyone that likes EU3. After playing In Nomine, you won't look back.

EU III In Nomine is a wonderful addon to an already great global strategy game. If you have a knack for deep strategy and long to have the ability to steer the fortunes and the destiny of your empire vis a vis human or AI controlled competotors then this is the best that is out there. The add on gives you more leverage to shape your country or empire destiny in a more realistic and challenging environment where the AI will act not in predicable ways so with more gusto than ever before. Thinking creatively about how to expand your empire will necessitate carefu diplomacy, planning and forethought, you cannot just go out there and hammer everyone by force , this game doesn't work that way, in fact if you approach it like that your gonna loose big time prestige (just like George Bush did when he invaded Iraq with UN approval), and may invite others to form alliances against you in order to bring you down. EU III and In Nomine are addictive in a positive way, you learn alot about international history and get hooked not because of glitzy graphics but rather because of deep challenging historical strategy gaming, its amazing to replay history or change the course of it, and have the ability to choose any country or empire that existed back then. Think about, all games you see nowadays on the shelves...they are more about mindless repetitive killing then creative thinking. Go get EU III - and expansions NA & INom , Vikki, Hearts of Iron and forget the rest !!

This expansion is a must for anyone who has already got the other two EU3 games. The added control and events are amazing and the improved gameplay through the roof. Things like the size of the country affecting more than just stability cost is only just the beginning. Rebels are now improved greatly and the national ideas overall is great. Definitly a must buy. If you like strategy games and dont currently own the EU3 series i would suggest that you purchase the bundle IMMEDIATLY

Another addition to a great game. For people who enjoyed the historical aspects of EU2, this goes a long way to covering this. Be warned: it is consistently harder (more realistic, and not worth not buying it for), particularly fiscal management. This time you have to choose a path. One aspect not mentioned is that it tells you on the peace screen if they are going to accept, which is more realistic, I think, but takes out an element of chance. Arabs stronger to start with; colonisation harder (particularly if you fix leaders to history).
The powers that develop ... might not include you.

If you enjoy EUIII with NA expansion this is a must buy. When coupled with the upcoming MMP Mod this EUIII/NA/IN will be the best thing going in strategy gaming. mmmmmm stategy gaming....:)

An extremely interesting game. Very well done. I found only one serious bug, which is less than any other game I have ever played. The AI is now challenging to play against.
A must have for any global strategy lovers.
