Heres the situation:
I want to buy a couple of Paradox's PC games. However I need advice.
I have a Mac mini with 47GB disk left and 512 MB of RAM. It has an 1.4 GH PowerPC processor. I already own HoI2 and wish to purchase either EU3 or Vicky. However I wish to purchase one. But which can you help me decide?
Their prices are £45 and £25.

Wow another paradox fan:) Yuppy!!
I haven't really played EU3 all that much, I played EU2 however.
Ok, first of all, are graphics important to you?
Do you want economic/political depth or just raise army and expand?
Edit:
Ok, leaving graphics aside, by far vicky is better. You should really check Crusader Kings and Deus Vult expansion too.
Welcome to the club mate:)

Well I want good graphics but I do want enough depth for me to be thinking hang on how why are Japanese in Britain. If you know what I mean. I like the graphics of EU more and I have read a few ARRs and it just looks astounding compared to HoI. However the political and economic situation of Vicky fascinates me! I am leaning towards EU despite the price.
EDIT:As a side note I like the thought of carrying in games from Vicky to HoI though! HELP!

Well it's tought call then. Still EU3 despite its good graphics,won't keep you interested for too long(my opinion). Why don't you try some demos?

Tried that with Paradox before, they may make bloody good games but they don't service for Mac in any way I can tell you.

A crappy pentium celeron pc could probably play most of the old paradox games btw, have that in mind.
