The lowest price on record is $3.99, set in December 2024. It has been discounted 81 times in the 10 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today's $14.99 at 70 percent off still sits 276 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
On value it sits in the top 3 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Europa Universalis IV ($49.99, scores 75) beats it on value, while it beats Europa Universalis III Complete ($4.49, scores 55).
Steam's global achievement data says about under 1 percent of players ever finish it. On a 32.5-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. Players rate it 86 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 77 percent. Something recent has soured the room. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
