Good title, but lacks a lot of polish.
I'm a fan of two things: Paradox Interactive and Ancient History . Knowing that an Europa Universalis, set in Ancient Rome was going to come out, made me excited beyond belief. I loved the Europa Universale franchise and could not wait to get my hands on EU:Rome . Fortunatly for me, and my wallet, I did not get this game on release. Instead I waited for the reviews....which turned out to be mostly negative and giving the game a mediocre rating at best. Now, years later I bought the game from GOG out of curiosity. As soon as I started it up and began to play, I was surprised how much fun I had. The graphics are really nice and the art looks great....and the music, just amazingly wonderful. The diplomacy was interesting (similar to CK) and the implementation of the senate and it's different political parties and it's effects on the state was done really well. After a few hours though the game started to show it's shallowness. Trading is a joke(click the traderouts as soon as you can9 and as soon as you play as Rome, you are extremly overpowerd. There are no real threats on the map and the innerpolitical differences can be solved by simply fullfillng the needs of those Romans who don't like you-Tamagotchi Style- with a simple click with almost imediate results. But the biggest flaw (and dissapointment) of all can be experienced while playing as other nations instead of the Roman Empire. For example: Why do I have the same political and diplomatic system as the Romans, when I play as Carthage ? And why do I have a Senate Button (SPQR Button) when I'm clearly not playing as Rome ? For me, some kind of historical accuracy is something that made me love the Paradox Interactive Games (Playiing a democratic country or a state und a dictatorship in HoI, made a difference ) . Sadly, EU: Rome feels like they did not even care.
Hilft dir das weiter?
