Europa Universalis: Rome

**ElectricEel** · 10-01-2007, 16:05

Paradox Interactive just announced a new game set during the rise of Rome, apparently starting some time before the First Punic War, and lasting until the start of the Empire. It's based on the same engine as Europa Universalis III, and according to information divulged on the official forums, the game will have a character system which may resemble the one in Crusader Kings. There's some early screenshots up on the official forums.

At last! This had better not be a disappointing boring mess like CK. :crosses fingers:

Great.

Here's a list of quotations from the developers about the game. That's almost all of the information we have so far. I find this statement particularly interesting:

The entire game is centered on the characters featured in the game, and diplomacy is completely character-driven.

So a bit like Crusader Kings then? Besides which I found EU3 to be rather disappointing and it is still poorly balanced.
