Which version do you play?

EU2 of course is far superior than the first version. I was playing EU1 for more than a year when I bought EU2 (at the release day), and the first GREAT improvement was that you now can play as every nation you want. That was (IMO) tripeling the game fun. Next was the possibility of changing provincial religion, and finally there are 73 years to play until the point where EU1 started. That opened up the great possibility of playing France in its early days, seeing Jeanne d´Arc and of course the union of aragorn and castilia. Furthermore, china now has "inland" areas, there is tibet and most of the south-eastern asia states were added. Summa summarum EU2 is an IMMENSE improvement in nearly everything compared to EU1.

I've only played EU1 - I've never seen EU2 in the shops where I live. I haven't bothered ordering EU2 because there's still plenty of EU1 scenarios I haven't got round to playing.

So is it fair to say there will be no additional patches or an expansion for EU2? It's been almost a year with no new patches and no annoucements of any future releases.

It's a pitty they never bothered to fix multiplayer so that it was actually usable; it seems to be a trend by software companies to shiop games with barely functioning MP versions.

Which is strange, given that MP is often the feature most are desirous for.

I'd have to agree with you there. The short sighted software companies will give MP short shrift while the more intelligent executives will jump on this feature and let player's word of mouth sell thier games for them
