'' This is my first foray into the Europa world. It is a series that I have wanted to play, but for many reasons just haven't had the time. A version that focused on Rome seemed like an excellent introduction, and I gladly downloaded the game and began my first encounter. I am glad I am now familiar with the Europa series, but I have some mixed feelings about the game. In the end, it became a "Chariots of Fire" experience for me, where I could see and appreciate the Oscar quality of many of its features, but finally had to concede that maybe I didn't have the right soul for it all.
Europa Rome is essentially still Europa, but now has added features. Of course, it is now set in a time frame of the emerging of the nation of Rome, and all the other nations that existed in that part of the world. The time frame encompasses the era of the Roman Republic, before the advent of the later Emperors after Augustus. The new features include a character aspect that offers a choice of people to be placed in government roles. These roles consist of a governor for each province, and five additional magistrates that handle the main aspects of the game, such as technology, omens, construction and civics. Leaders can also be hired for heading up the various military units in the provinces. This is quite an interesting feature, and can greatly influence the direction the player's empire takes.''
