EU2 compared with Civ2, EU1, Civ3.

[The Rusty Gamer]

EU2 is due here (NZ) in a few days. I already have EU1.

Is it worth me buying EU2? If I buy it, I take it it encompasses everything that was in EU1 so I can take EU1 to a second-hand store and sell it to get a bit of money back right? There's no point in me keeping both versions is there? There's nothing in EU1 that isn't in EU2?

Does this sub-forum even have a mod?

I applied many months ago, but there "wasn't enough traffic/posts to necessitate one" (paraphrase from a certain ACS owner).



At this point in time, I'd rather play either of the EU games over any of the Civ games. Could be that I'm just burned out on the Civ style gameplay, but here we are anyway.

No - its the other way around There is a lot in EU2 that isnt in EU1.
EU2 makes EU1 look like a trainer for EU2......... having mastered EU1 you should have no problem in getting into EU2

Rusty Gamer is exactly right. EU2 is EU1 with a longer playing period (1419-1820 instead of 1492-1792) and many extra options like Missionaries, many more historical details etcetera.
Paying money for it is not a good idea though. Because you pay but don't get any reaction to emails, eh Uglyduck. And they don't allow you to read info about bugs on their forum if they don't like you.
