    Europa Universalis: Rome is fantastic simulation and historically very accurate. I'm still wondering if that in Rome it would be more rewarding to play with one dynasty as in Crusader King, now there is lot of lost potential. Anyway, Europa Universal: Rome is another masterpiece in the Europa Universalis series. [June 2008]

    Interesting content, ease of use and the ability to remove huge chunks of your life combine to make one of the best historically accurate strategy games out there.

    Rome is another largely enjoyable offering from Paradox, and the fresh personnel management aspects add an interesting new twist to the series.

    Best Paradox game since Crusader Kings pay no attention to the grogs they always complain.

    Very poor game, I expected much better from Paradox. It is basically just like EU3, except with a lot less nations to fight and play as, more tedious bugs and features that annoy me to no end, and a different time setting.

    I did not like it. I love EU3 however, and will continue to play it.    … Expand
