Strategy 15 April 2008

A spin-off of the popular Europa Universalis series, based on the engine and mechanics from the third installment, released in 2007. In contrast to every previous installment, Europa Universalis: Rome takes us to Antiquity, concentrating on the Roman Empire from 280 B.C. to 27 B.C. – from the First Punic War up to the birth of the grand Roman Empire. When it comes to mechanics, the gameplay isn’t at all different from what we could've seen in the other major entries of the series. During the game, we assume control of a chosen faction, taking care of its culture, religion, treasury, military forces, technological advancement, or diplomatic contacts. There are 50 playable factions at the player’s disposal, belonging to one of nine great cultures of that time, including Celts, Goths, Egyptians, and Romans. As a trademark of the series, each nation’s unique traits were carefully recreated, including historical dependencies that influence the events in the Antique world.

Strategy 22 July 2003

A spin-off of a series encompassing complex strategy games developed by Paradox. The game utilizes an engine that was used previously in the production of Europa Universalis II. Contrary to its incredibly extensive predecessor that recreated 400 years of history as recorded by 180 real-existing countries, Crown of the North focuses on a significantly shorter period (years 1275-1340) and three Scandinavian nations only, including the Swedes, the Danes and the Norwegians. When Europe is ruled by aristocracy and clergy, or when a civil war breaks out in Sweden, the player assumes control of one of six available factions in order to influence the lives of those inhabiting northern parts of the Old Continent. The game offers three new campaigns based on the mechanics used in Europa Universalis II and capable of recreating advanced political, economic, military and trade-related dependencies that could occur in the period. All of this is complemented by an alternative campaign set in Vinland - a region of North America discovered by Vikings.
