Hi, Can someone tell me what is this game about??. Is it similar to CIV and if it is worth of buying??ž

Kolumbusus · April 4, 2001, 05:00

Is it turn based or not?

Jeje2 · April 4, 2001, 05:09

Well difine turnbased first.

But no I wouldn't call it turnbased.
My comments you can read in the other thread and also visit the game official home page at http://www.europa-universalis.com./

Kolumbusus,

How did you get the img tag to work?

Hannibal Ad Portas · April 4, 2001, 13:55

Hi

Sell your soul, rob a bank, whatever, but get a copy of eu,its really
got the feel of a great game the whole thing just flows together,its
got infininite replay,its got exploration and colonizition,massive
land and sea conflict,superb ai for the diplomacy and combat,its got
the lot,remembring back to when civ came along i dont think it was as
good as this,im not really up on some of the history for this period
but that dont matter,the system is so good,it deals with concepts that
other games dont even consider,let alone try to implement.To top it
all its remarkably easy to mod,make sure you get the igc v1.8 update,
along with the latest patch for your langauge version.
I got a copy from gameswire.com,£22 next day delivery.

Turn-based? No. It is real-time, but plays like a turn based game (this isn't a twitch game).

What is this about?

Well, imagine Civ in the period of 1492-1792 with MUCH more detail. Diplomacy is more advanced with military alliances, royal marriages, a pretty good trade system, and religious wars... oh my!

Very good!

Hi Imran,

I'm trying to read your opinion. You appeared to like the game very much when it first came out, your interest died after a few weeks, and now you appear to really like it again. Or perhaps I've been misreading you?

Anyway, seeing that you've had the game for a few months, what is your verdict now? Is the game worth the $40 or so bucks to purchase?

Kolumbusus · April 5, 2001, 02:14

Thank u guys for your help, I ll go get it!

P.S. For Par4:
First u have to have your image stored somewhere in the net (like http://www.blablabla/image.gif for instance), then go read UBB Code about image posting.

Ma nemoj

Ljubljana, Maribor, Celje, otkud si?

Ja sam malo južnije, Zagreb. Vidim da si novi i dobro nam došao!
Ali slušaj, ovaj forum je mrvicu ozbiljniji od ostalih foruma koji se baziraju na UBB sistemu.
Bilo bi dobro da makneš zastavu, jer jednostavno tako se to ovdje ne radi. Ako hoæeš svima pokazati gdje je Slovenija odeš na Multiplaying forum, nazoveš civilizaciju Karantanija ili tako nekako i razvališ par Amera do neba

usput, Europa Universalis ti je strašna stvar, nabavi svakako.

Heh, it is called the IGC. It is a mod created by people on the site. I mean, it is truely amazing and makes me happy. It adds more historical accuracy and better gameplay to the game, IMO, and makes it easier (in the latest build) to pick minors before starting the game.

I'm sure that resulted in my liking the game better. I don't play it as much as I used to because of Black and White, but it still is a great game, and worth the $40 (but you may be able to find for much cheaper soon).

Hey, the image tag works.

If that really drags the load times of this thread, let me know and I'll take it out.

Par4 · April 6, 2001, 13:28

I'm on cable, doesn't bother me at all, although once Mark finds out, he might he might 'fix' this...

I can imagine someone taking advantage of this...

April 6, 2001, 13:33

puting a screenshot every now and then in a thread is exactly why the img tag is allowed. put a bigger-than-the-message flag in every post of yours it is not....

Par4 · April 6, 2001, 13:33

Hey Yin, that's from your own game right??

We must have totally different games or something, because mine has a little thing on the top for # of diplomats and # of manpower left, I don't see either on that screen

yin26 · April 6, 2001, 13:41

Markos: I'm not sure what you mean?

Par4: That's just one of the screens from the EU site. Maybe a beta?

Imran Siddiqui · April 6, 2001, 21:16

Yin, he's talking to the guy that posted the Slovak flag. Basically you did nothing wrong.

It is ok to put say a screenshot for an AAR, but not too much... yah?

yin26 · April 6, 2001, 21:40

Ah, I missed the flag. Yes, that IS annoying. As for screenshots, I think that's the first (maybe last?) I'll ever post.

Par4 · April 7, 2001, 00:01

just testing out img tag some, I'm going to activate those free webspace thing I got with this cable modem for uploading some pics, we could get some real good AARs going...

Chronus · April 7, 2001, 16:43

Hi Par,

What is that green line for anyway? Do you trace out your unit's path BEFORE they start moving or does it show where the unit has been?

Par4 · April 7, 2001, 18:55

The picture is from the beta, the lines are red now. It is the path traced before hand, and you see the amount travelled between provinces directly next to each other in green.

You can only get the weird path like that my doing it manually, you'll never see a path like that made by auto routes.

VetLegion:
Da, dobro si to pogodio, ja sam iz Ljubljane, igrao sam Civ II prije ali malo previse pa mi se uprla, hehe. Imte mozda jedan site za Europa Universalis igru specializiran samo za nju, vrlo me zanima, ali to ti je dobra ideja ako imate neki tribe sistem i ovdje, mozda bi mogli ustanoviti neki NEW-YU tribe. Ali na zalost nisam nasao ni jednog iz nase bivse domovine koji bi igrao Civ II na netu, samo dva igaju CTP.

As for the flag
I Edited it so it looks smaller now, i hope it wont be a problem now.

ImramSiddium:
hahahahaha, Slovak flag, a, hahaha u are the perfect example why i posted that 3rd post about betting people dont know the flag and the country. And I dont blame you for that, the flag is Slovenian.

Bye, I just got the game, will tell u my first impressions.....

VetLegion · April 11, 2001, 16:42

E, ovako, studiram

pa trenutno baš i nemam vremena za online igranje
Što se tièe ex-ju timova, èuj, ja sam se naobjašnjavao ovdje i gdje je Hr i Slo i o èemu se radi ... oni još veæinom misle da govorimo Srpsko-Hrvatski, bio sam napravio anketu na Off-Topic forumu gdje sam pitao koji se jezik prièa u Hr i oæemo li uæi u EU za pet godina, zanimljivi rezultati koje sam dobio

.

što se tièe EU, ako tvoj ISP prenosi newsgrupe iz hr. hijerarhije traži ga da ti stavi news:hr.comp.igre.strategije, tu raspravljamo o svim strategijama, pa i o EU.

Hej Vatlegion, daj post link za taj thread. Bas bi ga volio procitat.

Evo mene ja sam jos jedan.. iz Karlovca orginalno, ali sam zaglavio u Engleskoj, zadnjih par godina.

Kolumbusus · April 13, 2001, 23:50

Predlazem da ustanovimo Ex-Yu tribe ali tribe z nekim podobnim imenom za EU and Civ3 za igrace iz bivse yugoslavije. Sta kazete???

Pozdrav,

link na thread gdje? Ovdje na Apolyton-u? Ovdje ja prièam engleski, kao i svi ostali

Ak si mislio na raspravu o EU, to je na newsgrupi.

Što se tièe ljudi iz bivše juge, po mojoj procjeni na ovom sajtu ima preko deset, možda i dvadeset takvih registrirano. Uvjek mi je drago poprièati i zaigrati online (igrao sam s tipom iz Zagreba s ovog sajta, vjerujte mi na rijeè, civ2 MGE je pravi doživljaj kad igraš s nekim tko ti je blizu na internet geografiji - tako brzo!) ali ja neæu stvarati ni sudjelovati u ex Yu tribeovima. Kao što rekoh, dovoljno se nagnjavim svaki put s objašnjavanjem da smo sada samostalne države, gdje smo i sl. Polako svi koji me znaju, znaju da sam iz Hrvatske ... i tako mi se sviða

Ali samo naprijed ako želite.
