History VideoGame / MagnaMundi

* AscendedFanfic: Well, Ascended GameMod.

* WonTheWarLostThePeace: Just winning battles and controlling enemy provinces isn't even half of success and neither is negotiating a favourable peace treaty. It might turn out not only you will be unable to reach your goals for the war, but the tally in the end will put your country in a negative, with less troops, money and income, but far more problems than before. At worst, you might just dig your own grave once the war is over, having enemies, rebellion, religious issues, bad reputation and wide range of internal and external discontent, not to mention beaten side looking for revange.

* EasilyConqueredWorld - Subverted in a couple of ways:
** 1. Without an advanced government or administrative national ideas, your administrative efficiency will be to low to handle a large empire, and you will begin to suffer penalties.
** 2. Rapidly expanding your empire increases your reputation, and the more reputation you have the slower your war exhaustion lowers. If you cross a certain threshold (usually around 18-25), you will become hated throughout the world, and other countries will begin declaring war on you in a large pile up. Of course, even getting close to that threshold is dangerous, as the Framed! event can strike at any time, and will you will have a few choices to make, and if you are unlucky your reputation will increase by 10 points - usually enough to put you over the threshold.

* NintendoHard - Even simply keeping the country together and not conquering anything is hard work.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Main developer Ubik was revealed as such quickly after the cancellation. After making statements that the game was in fact not cancelled he threatened Paradox with legal action and claimed that he owned all rights to the game engine. And then he tried to release Magna Mundi as a completely new game (World Stage), despite it being clear that it was exactly the same unfinished game.

* WeHaveReserves: The main strategy of any Russia or Chinese game.

-->''Our objective is to give you, the man behind the curtain, the tools to pursue your objectives with myriads of different strategies and immerse you in a new reality. Your challenge is to take the best decisions and decades, if not centuries later, look back and be proud of the decisons that shaped your nation's destiny.''

The mod itself is no longer being produced after the newest ''Europa Univeralis III'' expansion, "Divine Wind", in favor of the commercial game. The commercial game was cancelled by publisher ParadoxInteractive in June 2012.

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: ''Boy howdy.''

* BalkanizeMe: The HolyRomanEmpire and [[JidaiGeki Japan]]. Also what can happen to France if the player really sets his mind to it.

It improved and expanded on ''[=EU3=]'', with more advanced religious conversions and religious minorities, a revamped naval system, internal factions, an in-depth HolyRomanEmpire, Barbary Pirates, an advanced building system, a gorgeous new map, and much, much more.

* DevelopmentHell: The commercial game fell into this: after being delayed for multiple years for quality reasons, publisher ParadoxInteractive ultimately cancelled it in mid-2012. Reasons given included that it wasn't nearly ready for release and that the project leaders insisted it was ready and "reacted with irritation and anger" when Paradox pointed this out to them.
