Downloaded a star wars mod for Civ V, which allowed me to play as Papaltine. I started building Sith wonders and building a stable economy, but to the north the Jedi were expanding their cities and following the ways of Judaism. To counter, I established the religion of DEW IT, and it spread very well. The smaller cities in the outer rim wanted DEW IT. I used Yavin IV as my barracks to train soldiers to combat the Jedi, after losing 3 cities Yoda negotiated for a peace treaty, in which 3 more systems would join my empire, but this created anarchy and mass unhapiness in the empire. It was a dark time, at any second the cities could revolt, but I negotiated trade routes with the Ewoks and Byzantine to level the happiness to a tolerable level. Then I with haste rushed to make Autocracy my ideology in order to generate hapinness from my growing army. I developed enough power to develop autocracy to the point where all smaller cities would ally with me as long as they feared my army. Using their influence I elected myself leader of the world Congress, enacted DEW IT as the world religion and have declared Autocracy to be the only viable choice for the galaxy. Once more, the Sith will rule the galaxy, and then we will have peace.

10/10

New players:
Good fun, more refined than DS2 standard edition, the little subtle tweaks give the game an overall better sense of being connected (similar to DS1). If you are new to Dark Souls 2, buy this version.

Veteran players:
If you have played DS2 before, consider sharing from a friend's library, the overall tweaks don't merit paying for the upgrade.
