  • EU2 worth it?

    Does EU2 feature any radical changes from EU1 or does it simply polish it?
    And are the changes worth an extra £25 or should i get the original?
    Thx in advance

    EU1 is but a demo of EU2. Events and Social Engineering (or whatever it's called) add a great deal to the game.

        How about EU2 vs Civ3? I have Civ3, and like it alot. Will I like EU2?

          It's different than C3.

          I can't say that you would like it or hate it based on your like for C3.

          But I know I like EU2 better than C3.

            I just bought EU2 yesterday. So far it seemskind of slow. The idea for the game seems pretty cool.

            So far though, I can't say that I like it more than Civ3 they are just different.

              I like EU2 a little more than civ3...I have both discs in my 2 drives so I can alternate between playing them without swapping discs. I haven't played EU1 so I can't comment on the differences between that and the sequel.

                  Still nothing going on in my game, the one war I started lasted until I besieged the province, then he sued for peace. Even though he had 10 provinces and I had 1.

                    Does it need patches to work properly? And I read in some review that historical events can be annoyig if you try out an alternate history. So I'm wondering if you can edit the events.

                      It needs the latest patch.
                      Events can be edited, made up.
                      A scenario editor will be included in the next patch (1.05)

                        Well i finally got paid and decided to go with EU2 instead of the first one.
                        All i can say is that its brilliant!
                        Its complicated and looks like it has nearly infinite replaybility.
                        I think ill be playing this for months.

                          I'm starting to get into it a little more. Still seems slow at times. THen WHAM BAM everythin happens at once.

                            If I buy a game it must last for years.

                            Is the latest patch 1.04? And where can I get that? I found some sites with an American version, but no European or Belgian; only a "Nordic" 1.03. Is the American version ok to me or should I try to find another one?

                            Thanks for the answers!

                              Btw, how many pages is the manual? The box in the shop I'd like to buy it is less than a centimeter thick. How does a manual fit into that??
