Europa Universalis: Rome PC

Europa Universalis: Rome for PC is a spin-off of the popular strategy game series developed by Paradox Interactive. This time, the authors offer us the ability to travel to Antiquity, between the years 280 – 27 B.C. – from the First Punic War up to the beginnings of grandness of the Roman Empire. The character and the course of the gameplay haven’t practically changed in regards to the previous installments, i.e. we still lead a chosen faction, taking care of culture, religion, national treasury, military, technological growth, or diplomatic contact. Only the timeframe has changed.

Gameplay

During the gameplay, we are left with a three-dimensional world map divided into hundreds of provinces that make up countries and empires. Topographic details were also included, influencing not only the armies’ marching speed, but also, for example, trade. There are over 50 playable nations at our disposal, belonging to one of nine contemporary cultures, including Celtic, Greek, Egyptian, and Roman. Traditionally, each of these cultures was faithfully recreated by the developers, similarly to every dependency that played a part in the Antique world.

The outstanding personas have played key roles in Antique nations, so this is an important mechanic in Europa Universalis: Rome. The gameplay mainly focuses on single persons. If we care about their growth, they have an easier time dealing with entrusted tasks (diplomacy, army, etc.), resulting in a stronger empire.

Game Modes

Aside from the singleplayer mode, Europa Universalis: Rome for PC offers a multiplayer playground for up to 32 players at the same time.
