Europa Universalis: Rome is the latest title in this long standing franchise and for the first time has a setting in ancient Rome. If you are new to the Europa Universalis series you will be pleasantly surprised to hear that it is much more than just another war game. There are however some game crushing bugs which will ruin it for many.

The game world is divided up into provinces, each of which is ruled by a religion, a culture and a national power. Each province provides tax revenue and manpower to build an infrastructure and to fund technological research. With the help of the tax funding, armies can also be raised. All the events play out in day to day real time so the game works as a RTS and as a very in depth strategic simulator. Obviously if you are a fan of simple and straightforward RTS games this will not be appealing.

Good review.
One point though. You can select individual armies, just click on the army unit during the siege, and you will see its general on the top left of the screen, with the army it has, click again on the same spot, and you choose the next one. Or, drag and drop around the single (but stacked) sieging army icon and you will get all those taking part in the siege. You will see them on the left top side of the screen. Just close all those you don't want to move, and move the rest as normal. With the same way you can merge or split armies, while they are sieging the enemy lands.



The game is IMO a superb strategy game. When they release the second patch and fix some way obvious bugs, the game will turn into a classic IMO.
