    For those who love a good deep strategy game, with the possibility to change history, this is the game to stay playing for hours and hours, and hours.

    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.

    this is a horrible game if you know how to play in the first place it is too complecated it forced you to micromanage every aspect of everything. i hate the gameplay and the strategy is dumb i've had a battle i lost about 10000 men they lost 0. totally unrealistic. dont buy it is just a broken AI and some thrown in battles. this game was only 10 bucks so i guess i am not all that mad.

    For the rare gamers who can happily lose themselves in a world where the ability to create armies is more valued than the ability to lead them on the field of battle, the EU games are a revelation. When you combine that approach with the appeal of the historical Roman setting, it's like an arrow of happiness aimed straight at our hearts.

    From strategic trading, the recruiting of legions, where to garrison them, who’s right for the job from governor to general – Rome is possibly one of the only games out there that can really give gamers a glimpse into just how pressured emerging super powers were. After all Rome wasn’t built in a day, let Paradox show you why.

    Unfortunately getting to a multiplayer game is more trouble than it's worth.
