>The Price- Is EU4 worth the $40?
No, it's worth much more than that.
>It looks like an awesome game, and I am loving the demo, but $40 is a lot of money compared to the price of Civ V. Is EU4 really worth more than double what Civ V is?
A better question would be, is Civ V really worth half of what EU4 is going for?
Paradox games often go on sale, I got EU4 just a few months after its release for $25. But, for that to work, you have to regularly check for sales. There are no sales right now, unfortunately. It's a tragedy that you missed the Summer sale, it almost certainly had a deep discount then even if it wasn't a daily. The next time you can definitely count on a sale would be December.
EDIT: Well, I did some digging, someone's selling a boxed copy shipped from the UK on Amazon for $25.
>The End- Because the demo has an automatic end time (you can only play for a certain number of turns), I am wondering how the end of the game works. Is there a time limit, a victory condition, or nothing?
It takes hundreds of hours to get to 1821. Most people just start a game with their own goals in mind, like forming the HRE, or maybe making some small African nation a genuine world power. Whether or not you continue on after reaching your goal is up to you - in most cases you become so ridiculously powerful at some point it's kind of pointless to play on. If you want to, you can go for a world conquest, but that gets really tedious and you'll probably have to rely on exploits and gamey tactics to overcome EU4's rather significant anti-blobbing mechanics (overextension, aggressive expansion, truce timers, etc...) This game is unlike most other strategy games in that they're not basically geared to make a world conquest for one player a given by the end of the game. It much more of a realistic attempt to simulate history - the world was not conquered by one person in 1821, so the average playthrough of any good simulation of it shouldn't end like that either.
*Although, it will become apparent to you more and more how glaringly ahistorical it can be the more you play. And I honestly have a suspicion that its historicity is heavily maintained by gimping the AI, forcing them to play in historical fashion rather than doing what's strategically optimal; just imagine if they integrated some of DDRJakes exploits into the AI coding. That said, whatever its faults, no other simulation even comes close.
