EU: Rome is simply the worst game from Paradox, I've played (so far). It's buggy and full of annoying mechanics that completely ruin your fun. It's an ugly looking game that feels like you are playing with plastic soldiers, moving across a very bare looking, rough map. This was Paradox's response to Rome Total war and it failed miserably. Don't buy this monstrosity. Fortunately, Imperator Rome - which is basically EU: Rome 2 - is available right here on GOG. It's better in every way, despite its bad release. Go for it, if you want to play a good strategy about the ancient world.
