    Coming from Paradox, this is definitively a good game. When compared to EU3, you probably will feel that the map is too small, that there are few countries to play with and that the powerful countries are made to suceed, so you'll need skill and possibly luck to defeat them with smaller countries. The main characteristic that distinguishes Rome Gold (that includes the expansion Vae Victis - a nice addition that makes the game much more enjoyable) from EU3 is the character system - if you like to play with characters friendships, rivalries, ambitions and families, you will find that in Rome. I give 4 stars as I think the game needs a more extended map (and/or one with more provinces) and because it doesn't fulfill the potential is has.

    This is a very good game, somewhat a mix of Europa Universalis with Crusader Kings, because there are actually different characters, with their own interests and allegiances (factions). It involves a lot more of internal politics than any other Paradox game, and it's a challenge preventing your empire from collapsing from within. Recommended for any fan of the Paradox games and this timeperiod.

    Graphics 8/10, Interface 10/10, Music 10/10, Depth 8/10, Addictiveness 10/10, Value 10/10. Despite these high ratings there are some drawbacks. The game seems to use a lot of RAM, I mean a lot! Slowdowns and freezes can occur, especially if you don't reload the game periodically. I would recommend 3GB RAM for this game. I have 2GB and it is barely enough. Strategy fans will love/hate this game depending on their available RAM.

    This is a great game, especially for the price. Although on a smaller scale then Europa Universalis 3 the game is still epic. It combines all the best bits from UE:3 (although does leave out some bits that could improve it) and adds whole new layers of stratergy and complexity. The character aspect of the game has got to be one of the greatest aspects. Characters form alegiences and rivalries, dependent on a large amount of different factors. A weak unpopular ruler will quickly the support of the nobels and could face a major civil war unless you manage your characters effectively. The mightest empire can be easily destroyed if a war coinsided with a rebellion, or a vast barbarian hord descends from the uncivilised north. Depending on which Generals and Governours remain loyal you could be facing some of the most intesne game play of your life. Also if you play a republic... beware the populist faction. If you like other paradox titles, you'll love this (appolagise or poor spelling)
