Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting (i.e. voting for) it. Please make it clear for when I check the bets later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.
Although you should be familiar with both games, there is no rule that says you have to have played both of them. The only rule in Trashdome is this;
Two games enter! One game leaves!
Trashdome - History of the World VS Britannia

Both are good games, but both are VERY old timey in not very good ways. I'm voting HotW because I like the more epic, all-encompassing scope of it, but BRITANNIA is probably the better game all things considered. And the spin-off games are mostly pretty good since it's a decent system for a multiplayer war game of that class.
I dunno, HotW just has more life in it that BRITANNIA. There's something very stodgy and deadpan about BRITANNIA. And yeah, the designer is pretty much an internet jerk.
I used to love that Windows HotW...I got it for like a dollar at an Electronics Boutique many years ago. It was a fun, quick way to play the game

" I've heard a few comments here and there that History of the World plays similar to Vinci/Small World but on a larger scale/timeframe...How accurate is that?"
Sounds about as accurate as could be said for any given theme, i.e. AT is on a larger scale/timeframe compared to a Euro.
(Or are you trying to turn people off voting for HotW by implying it's a secret Euro?)

Nope! The reason why I ask is I do enjoy SW and if HotW is a more chromed out/epic version, then I may look a little more closely at HotW because chances are I'd enjoy it.

I haven't played either, but both have been on my radar to some extent. I do have a question though...I've heard a few comments here and there that History of the World plays similar to Vinci/Small World but on a larger scale/timeframe...How accurate is that?

Well, the first time I played Vinci, I described it to the Man as being History of the World with all the fun sucked out of it.

Well it's definitely a good game, I don't think you'd be disappointed.
If you also like Through the Ages then I'd be surprised if you didn't enjoy HotW.

I enjoy both games quite a bit, not least because the theme (rise and fall of civilizations) is not often well represented in civilization building games, where history often only seems to go up.
