I want to like this game-it is well researched and deep-however, game play is buggy. Some buttons have to be clicked on more than once to activate, other times clicking and holding seems to activate a button. I have invested a great deal of time reading the manual and learning this game, only to have it crash. EG, playing as Prussia, I am 36 turns into a 1600+ turn game, and this has taken a couple of hours because it takes so much time to process a turn. After turn 36, the game crashes. My machine exceeds minimum requirements. I've tried everything I can think of to get beyond turn 36 to no avail. I guess those 1600 turns will never be played. I appreciate the historical context of the game, but I wish paradox would have spent a little more time making the game playable.
