    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.

    Good game with very good concepts, with historic events, politic and more realistic diplomacy added to a solid settlement management in a grand strategy base. May be better rounded

    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.
  2. 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.
