Europa Universalis, best game since Civ

[Depp]

Posted thir wrongly in the off-topic, didn´t see this thread SO here goes...

I just wanna tell you about a game soon to be released in america, already out in Sweden (made in sweden) and Germany.
You want a game that lets you play any of 75 countries for the most exiting 300 year period in history ? Europa Universalis has it all.
It let´s you start at 1492, america is just discovered. And ends in 1792.
It´s no C&C bash either, but diplomacy, economy and war, and historical leaders and monarchs that influence it all, you play as the hand behind the king. Some kings may even command the armies directly.
You can´t just attack everyone beacuse alliances are common and actually mean something in this game.
So am I selling this game ? No, but I want to gain some support for the best game around for years and years. The reviews are very positive as well.

If you want more info, either contact me or just check the official site, there is alot of info and also a forum with some 30 000 posts. http://www.europa-universalis.com/

Hej!

Being a swede myself I know about this game and I have been thinking about buying it (held it in my hand yesterday!). The reviews have been nice so far, I've just been waiting to see what the bigger gaming sites have to say about it.

Thanks for the links!

Bigger sites ? www.cdmag.com is the biggest strategy (and all other games) around. It´s the best in my opinion, they take time with their reviews, not like certain sites...

It´s worth the 429 SKr that Åhlens takes for it

[weird god]

this game looks great!!

Yup, it even is great
Having alot of fun with this one. The different nations provide totally different games, in strategies etc. It´s even nice to see how different europe becomes each time you play.

I know, that's exactly what I meant. I have read some reviews by others (local newspapers etc) and was waiting for the links you provided!

Woohoo! Since America gets it later, it gets better stuff.

[Depp]

Not really. A newer patch is included, but all scenarios are different in the different versions, they are chosen locally so to speak. America get amercians scenarios etc, sweden get´s the nordic wars etc.

[Depp]

sure, the intro text will be in the wrong language, that´s about it

Don't you have e-handel in the icy north? Or, wait, doesn't Posten deliver up there?

[Kyle]

Well, we can download the other scenarios, true?
