Raise the regimental banner and beat the drums of war, change history and discover new ways to be the Master of Europe. March of the Eagles, the latest strategy/wargame from Paradox Development Studio and Paradox Interactive, is now available from major digital distributors.
Hardcore Gamer: The Indie Royale Alaska bundle gives you six games (five known presently) for around $6. That $6 gets you a super-hard platformer in Electronic Super Joy, and a ton of strategy and tactical gaming in the form of March of the Eagles, Rigonauts, Sengoku - Way of the Warrior, and 99 Spirits.

We’re constantly lead to believe by video games that war is a non-stop thrill-o-rama, with explosions, manly fistfights and slow-motion bits where you shoot a man through the nostrils whilst rappelling through a window. Few games explore the other side of warfare, the admin, the long hours of boredom and the tedious business of making sure your soldiers have all the important bits they need, like food and bullets.
If you played Crusader Kings II and thought, “I just want to go to war with everyone!” Well then March of the Eagles could be for you!
These are the kind of games that continue to keep the PC relevant to me as a gaming device - deep, enjoyable and more replay value than you can poke a stick at - go Paradox :).
