Overview

Making History II: The War of the World is the next chapter in the Making History franchise and a direct sequel to 2007's Making History: The Calm & the Storm. The game was released on May 25, 2010, and is also be available as a digital download from major digital distributors including Stardock’s Impulse, Paradox Interactive's GamersGate, and Steam. Historian Niall Ferguson has been working closely with Muzzy Lane on Making History II (he is responsible for the added economic complexity found in the sequel).

Description

Making History II is a turn-based, grand strategy game. In grand strategy games, the frenzy of controlling individual units is replaced with big-picture, high-level decisions on a national scale. So where strategy games usually resort to real-time gameplay -- leaving less time for deep thinking -- grand strategy favors lengthy turns and long-term goals.

Like its predecessor, Making History II allows players to make different choices than the ones seen in history books. Players can experience and witness chains of events that never occurred, adding a much greater degree of unpredictability to the gameplay. It also explains the franchise's moniker -- "Making History."
