    You've got an extra "http://" in the link there, that's all.

    Hmm; looks interesting. It seemingly resembles EU, except that it's set in the Dark Ages. I wonder how the game deals with barbarian hordes.

    Ahh, thank you.

    I don't know much about this game. I think its source is the same fellow who developed EU as a board game originally.

    A pity it doesn't seem to have a demo available.

    Looks to me like a simplified version of Europa Universalis. I'm not sure I'm going to bother with it, I find the dark ages a tedious period.

    Thanks for the heads up - and let us know if some of you tries it out.

    Can you get any more simplified than EU3?

    Same guy did EU boardgame.

    Great Invasions got a reputation as an unfinished - could have been promising game... But not even promising...
