There is no English version of Svea Rike III.
They are just about to release it in Norway though.

I went through mysimon.com & found a software dealer that was selling EU for $17. Only reason I could find that they were charging so little was that the game did not come with a box. Both the CD & manual were totally new. I don't expect to find the same deal with EUII right when it comes out, of course.
I'll probably shell out the 40 bones for EUII since I liked EU so much. The only other game series I liked as much as EU is Close Combat, and after I got Close Combat II for free (it was bundled with other software that came free with my PC), I gladly paid full retail price (though on the low end
)for CCIII thru V.Regards,

I will buy it. I wish I had bought EUI earlier since it is such a great game but was tied up with some MMORPG that have plagued me for the last few years. If there is any true testimony for the game it should be the fact that it pulled one of my friends off of Evercrack (read:Everquest) for the last week and he hasn't played EQ since. I have kinda fallen off the Strategy game wagon over the last couple years and EUI has sucked me in like no PC strategy game has done in a couple years. It has for me become a pinnacle for computer stragtegy gaming and I have no plans to play anything else and feel I am far from be done with the game now a little over a month playing. Now I have to convinve my friend to buy EUII this holiday season just when I got him into EUI so we can continue our online mutliplayer crushing sessions.

Anybody notice that gamespot.com change the article? It now says, "Europa Universalis II will use the same adjustable real-time strategy system found in the previous game."
He he. Looks like somebody made an angry phone call to gamespot.

hehe havent checked again would be funny if they did..go get em paradox ... as for will i buy it...yes even if i have to sell some blood to do it <im perpetually broke atm> hehe EU@ is one of 2 things im looking foward to this christmas...the other is the movie Lord of the Rings <hehe gonna be awesome>> i do believe i will wait and see on the game before i start syaing what they should and shouldnbt have done and whether its enough...the changes ive seen are enough to pick my interest..and as a previous poster said about evercrack...i too was a everquest asherons call junkie..i played 30 plus hours a week on those damned games...since eu came out eq isnt even on my comp anymore and ac i havent touched in 3 weeks..its defintely the best strategy game out..i didnt get anywhere near the play time out of civ, civ 2 call to power etc...Pax Imperia was ncie for futre space..but too simple and not historical even though was fun...EU will have my attention for some time...especially once they get past the roman work and get on the next work <1820 plus the period after eu2> frankly im not a big fan of roman empire espcially sicne there isnt a chance in hades of correctly simulating it...people keep saying they want to see if they can save the roman empire...and all of these are ignorant of history..for Rome was unsavable..it wasnt diplomacy, it wasnt trade, it wasnt war that broke her..it was corruption and moral decay...rampant debasement of every moral code..it was this disease that rotted the heart out of the empire and left it a broken husk to face its outside threats...there is no game made that can correctly cover this facet of Roman life of that time..and no way any want to be future Generals could have saved her...any game that tries is doomed to failure from the get go..it might be fun as a fantasy scenario sort of thing..but i would never call it historical..because unless Rome loses every time...it cant possibly be even close to historical she was unsavable..and without being able to portray this aspect of Rome any attempt to cover the rest is but a charade...i truly wish they had chosen to do the great wars or even the crusades rather then fall down the same road endless others had done when they try to recreate Rome..the Romance and draw of Rome is there..but it cant be recreated well enough to keep people happy long enough
i do look foward to eu2..and hoipefully it will carry me through howeve rlong it takes for them to get another game out eu3 or great wars...but i do plan on skipping the roman game

Oh, I will buy it surely. I hope Paradox keeps secrets for now, to have a big surprise in Q4/2001 or Q1/2002.
