Re: plz combine europe universalis: Rome and dom 3
 

While I never played the original EU games, I tried EU Rome, and after examining several of the bigger mods, made my own mod to the game, and the battles and gameplay are now fair to decent. However, it's still somewhat dry. Which is a shame, because HOI2 with it's expansions (and some mods) was very enjoyable.

I suspect EU Rome will require a good three or four patches, an expansion, and maybe a year of modding to reach good/great.

Coincidentally, Rome Total War, required the same exact thing.

I miss the days when finished products were released on day one, and major bugs the exception. Now the reverse is true.

I kinda like EU: rome though.. it's not really possible to win with a small nation though

as a one city state in small asia I first conquered the remains of iberia and armenia I got 4 other provinces there.

Then I took on egypt while they where at war with carthage and that large nation in asia (Seulucid)..

so when I have conquered half of egypts assets in turkey the other nations peace with egypt so I'm against egypt alone (when I declared egypt was about 20+ provinces)

So at a time I manage to take all his 8 provinces in turkey and cyprus.. a battle score of 58... the game says he should take the loss of a province or his stability will drop... and it did... 3x till -3 but refuses to surrender even a friggin single province.. and then it's a war of attrition and he sends all his armies.. about 3 times as much towards me and.... (I kept reloading here but no options)

The AI is right of course.. he WILL win in the end.. but WTF no way to win ANY province of a large nation like this..

ALSO why didn't any large nation want to ally with me at the start (I'm talkin a 180 or 190 positive relation here)

You're a small nation and wonder why no big nation ally with you? You know that every war you declare, your ally has at least an ethical bound to also declare war. Its just plain stupid to do that. Try to ally with small ones.

And it should be very hard to manage a 1 provincer to something like victory. And from my site you also should need very much luck to do this. I'm tired to only play the last asian bush tribe to get some challenge.

If you known to play the paradox titles and are more experienced you notice how easy the game is.

Each games modding commands allow flexability yet usually not enough to deliver a new game by which features from another game are modded.

Unfortunately many gamers, such as myself, have dreams of what variables would create the ultimate game. I have blueprints in my mind for the ultimate RTS game, ultimate RPG game and ultimate TBS game. The only realistic chance for any of these dreams to come true is if the gamer suddenly inherits lots of money or wins some multi-million lottery.
