  • Today I think I've found the most basic 'Grand Strategy' game ever made, that's right! What if you take out all the features from HOI4, Eu4, CK2? Pretty much this game. I decided to do a playthrough as the Holy Roman Empire and found some rather overpowered bugs that allow me to take over the world!
