Europa Universalis: Rome

[Tretii]

About the upcoming Rome game. If Paradox will make it look as ugly as EUIII, then good luck selling it. I am big fan of Paradox games, from CK to Viki and HOI series, but EUII was by far the biggest disappointment. If they use the same "graphics" in Rome as they did in EUIII, then I just settle with waiting another ten years of next EB release and be happy.

Don't know about the graphics (don't care much) but the interface of EU3 is simply b a d !

The rest is a marvel, though I know nothing at all about any other Paradox stuff to compare.

Just saw the announcement Zak!

@pseudocaesar - Think the RTW Strat Map with Great AI in Real time. Very great games. Incredibly immersive.

No...It's nothing like RTW. Battles in EU3 are pretty much highly abstracted. EU3 is not just about war. It's a grand strategy game were you can select one from over 200 countries to run during the Renaissance and Reformation periods of history. You literally handle everything from warfare, religious turmoil, trade, exploration, colonization, scientific deveplopment....you name it...not to mention diplomacy. Ahhh...If only Total War games had EU diplomacy..Now that would be a game!!

I've just received EU3 as a gift recently so i'm still learning my way around sort of speak but i have to say it is absolutely outstanding. I've never played any EU games before so a initially the learning curve seems a little high because there is so much going on. However, if you like strategy games mixed in with history, you may want to give EU3 a try.

I just read the announcement for EU: Rome and that the team will bring the world of EB for that game as well. Outstanding !! You fellas are sure gonna be busy for the next few years....
