Hi, Can someone tell me what is this game about??. Is it similar to CIV and if it is worth of buying??ž

[Kolumbusus]

Is it turn based or not?

Well difine turnbased first.

But no I wouldn't call it turnbased.

Hi

Sell your soul, rob a bank, whatever, but get a copy of eu,its really
got the feel of a great game the whole thing just flows together,its
got infininite replay,its got exploration and colonizition,massive
land and sea conflict,superb ai for the diplomacy and combat,its got
the lot,remembring back to when civ came along i dont think it was as
good as this,im not really up on some of the history for this period
but that dont matter,the system is so good,it deals with concepts that
other games dont even consider,let alone try to implement.To top it
all its remarkably easy to mod,make sure you get the igc v1.8 update,
along with the latest patch for your langauge version.
I got a copy from gameswire.com,£22 next day delivery.

Turn-based? No. It is real-time, but plays like a turn based game (this isn't a twitch game).

What is this about? Well, imagine Civ in the period of 1492-1792 with MUCH more detail. Diplomacy is more advanced with military alliances, royal marriages, a pretty good trade system, and religious wars... oh my!

Very good!

Hi Imran,

I'm trying to read your opinion. You appeared to like the game very much when it first came out, your interest died after a few weeks, and now you appear to really like it again. Or perhaps I've been misreading you?

Anyway, seeing that you've had the game for a few months, what is your verdict now? Is the game worth the $40 or so bucks to purchase?

[Kolumbusus]

Thank u guys for your help, I ll go get it!

P.S. For Par4:
First u have to have your image stored somewhere in the net (like http://www.blablabla/image.gif for instance), then go read UBB Code about image posting.

Ma nemoj

Ljubljana, Maribor, Celje, otkud si?

Ja sam malo južnije, Zagreb. Vidim da si novi i dobro nam došao!
Ali slušaj, ovaj forum je mrvicu ozbiljniji od ostalih foruma koji se baziraju na UBB sistemu.
Bilo bi dobro da makneš zastavu, jer jednostavno tako se to ovdje ne radi. Ako hoæeš svima pokazati gdje je Slovenija odeš na Multiplaying forum, nazoveš civilizaciju Karantanija ili tako nekako i razvališ par Amera do neba

usput, Europa Universalis ti je strašna stvar, nabavi svakako.

Heh, it is called the IGC. It is a mod created by people on the site. I mean, it is truely amazing and makes me happy. It adds more historical accuracy and better gameplay to the game, IMO, and makes it easier (in the latest build) to pick minors before starting the game.

I'm sure that resulted in my liking the game better. I don't play it as much as I used to because of Black and White, but it still is a great game, and worth the $40 (but you may be able to find for much cheaper soon).

Hey, the image tag works. If that really drags the load times of this thread, let me know and I'll take it out.
