This is among the most realistic strategy games you can buy. The provinces are realistic, given their actual historical names, and with resources and strengths that they historically had. You can play almost any historical nation or faction that you wish, no matter how small or insignificant their chance of actually winning is. It is a good idea for beginners to take nation-states that are considered easier (England, France, Spain); but if your heart's desire is to play Brittany, Denmark, Wallachia or the like, have at it. This strength leads to the biggest shortcoming of the game. Realism requires lots of planning of logistics, trade, and other factors that go into military and economic strength. This game is not as simple as a Civilization one or clone of it. Allocation of resources is a very important part of playing this game. You need to watch these for every province and military unit. Suffice it to say, it gets tedious. There is nothing you can do about combat once you enter it. And the AI is much less predictable than the AI for Civ, A0fE, etc. You will be preparing for trouble on one border when something pops off on the next border. Overall the game is still fun to play, but as it is so long and is sometimes more like work than play, I just play an hour or two at a time. This game is best bought from an eBay merchant, as it is far cheaper than buying from a retailer. It is inexpensive and a one sided disk.Read full review
Very detailed game, liked it a lot. The sea battles are especially detailed and wonderfully mounted. Graphics are superb, full of detail and bright colors.
I think that this game is better than older edition. Only the grapphic is terrible (.. but it isn't the goal of the gane ..)
Make absolutly sure that you have the system requirements for this game. I have an ati radeon 9200 video driver only a couple of years old and it doesnt work with my computer. I really enjoyed playing EU2 so this is very disapointing for me.
