Description

Enjoy plenty of empire building, conquest and warfare in Europa Universalis: Rome. Nearly infinite customization and thousands of player options let you control countries, characters, cultures and provinces. Only the wisest rulers will excel in this setting. Know when to team up with your neighbors and when to overtake them. Sometimes it's better to focus on technology and trade than to expend your efforts on expansion. Political intrigue and tactical strategy play a large part in this chapter of the series. Decide which situations require diplomacy and when military might is in order. Let the saga begin at any date between 280 and 27 B.C. in the ancient past. From there, choose from 10 different cultures with more than 53 playable factions. The incredibly detailed 3D map spans hundreds of provinces. Greece, Carthage, Egypt, Germany, Rome and other domains are all up for grabs. See if you can unite them all in the name of the Roman Empire. You'll also see your characters develop new traits as they interact with others. Up to 32 players can compete against each other or team up in Co-op mode. However you choose to play, Europa Universalis: Rome provides a unique experience every time.

    Only for fans*****

    This is not a review but an observation of selling policy by VP. The game itself is difficult to play, but is by far the easiest of the EU series, and not to everyone's taste.

    I have purchased other VP programs and have always found them difficult but fascinating. I guess I continue to buy them because I crave strategy games and they are sorely lacking on the Mac platform...I will correct myself... They are non-existent on the Mac platform. Therefore anything is better than nothing at all. However EU: Rome presents a problem like others in the VP series: The cost is too high for what you get.

    The Windows versions are significantly cheaper, and by significantly, I mean $19.95 per game. Though I am willing to pay the Mac premium, the difference in price is far too great. I recently bought the EU: Rome boxed version for Windows. Like other VP Games, VP products quickly enter the game remainder market at discount prices and I bought at at a remainder house. My EU: Rome game contained a printed manual, a CD disk, a large map of the Roman empire, and a hard shell plastic case. When I compare this purchase to a digital download, I cannot justify the higher expense of $40.00 for a digital download. If EU: Rome was a more reasonable $20, I might buy it, burn a disk, and add it to my already purchased windows version package. At least I would also have a readable manual and map from my windows package. By the way, the remainder price for my windows version of EU: Rome was $6.00.
