Possibly the most defining grand strategy game in history
I remember when the second EU came out, it had a pretty limited reception. I got the third one later, and like the evolution from Victoria I to Victoria II or Civ III to Civ IV, there was an astounding jump in the graphics and gameplay that added to the realism of the game as well as the playability. Paradox is also one of the coolest companies, one that allows online players to use all of the DLC their host is using during online play. That is a revolutionary way of demoing or giving players a taste of what can otherwise be a hefty set of expansions (but usually are completely worth their weight).
