Europa universalis is just the modern graphical version of an old text game!!

No wonder this game seemed so familiar, I think the designers got the idea form this ooooooooooooooollldddddd text game called... I don't remeber but i have it in my 486 I'll try to find it on the net and post it in this thread

My impression is its based on a board game of the same name. The old computer text game is probably based on that too.

There is an older board game of the same name. There is also an old computer game from the 1980's (Medieval Lords) which is very similar and is based on an earlier period, but Europa Universalis is much better.

Amother Medieval Lords player? It's good to meet the other person who bought it! I liked ML. It was a bit simplistic but fun. I agree though. EU does feel like it's related.
