Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun vs Victoria: Revolutions
Side-by-side comparison of features, pricing, ratings, and alternatives.


Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun lets you steer a country through the turbulent era of absolute monarchies, industrialization, colonization and social upheaval. From the early 1800s to the dawn of the 20th century you must manage economics, diplomacy, military and internal reforms to become a global power or descend into chaos. The game blends deep economic simulation with political intrigue, offering players the chance to build wealth, gain prestige, and shape their nation's destiny toward democracy or tyranny. Single‑player focused, it delivers a historically rich strategy experience on PC and Mac.
Victoria: Revolutions adds fifteen extra years of gameplay to the original Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun, pushing the timeline into the interwar period. The expansion brings an expanded technology tree, a new fascist ideology, and a revamped election and politics system for richer strategic depth. Players also get a doomsday converter, an overhauled military system, and a more realistic economic model with multiple economic models, delivering a comprehensive grand‑strategy experience that feels both historically grounded and mechanically fresh.
