EU III
« on: February 27, 2009, 12:08:51 PM »
Is it worth me snagging off Steam?

I like the look of it, the depth it suggests attacts me...  but is there anything horrid I should know?

Oh, EU III, didn't notice this thread :)  There are some of us here who are from the Paradox forums you know :)

Yes, it is definitively worth it, if you like proper strategy games!

Anything horrid...? Be sure your gfx card can handle the game. It doesn't run on steam-powered lap-tops, unlike some people seem to hope/believe. Other than that, I can only give my thumbs up (but then again I am biased :P).

One thing to note with EU III from steam is that the tutorials dont work. So if you havent played them before and have no idea how the interface works then you may want to think again.
The main game itself is fine.

We need to set-up a MP game at some point. Altough I've heard Steam EU3 has some issues if trying to MP with non-Steam EU3, dunno if that is true or just an urban legend though. Personally I have the boxed version, of course :)

I'd be up for that - just give me a week or so to get a handle on the game so I dont embarass myself horribly.
