Philippe Thibeault developed the EU boardgame that computer EU is based on. There is no doubt that Pax is very similar to the EU games. I wouldn't expect anything other than that.

It's not just similar, I'm fairly sure they are based on the same engine. There are WAY too many similarities (hell, there's a "db" folder in the Pax Romana directory).

That's not really the strongest argument, many games use 'db' as shorthand for a database folder. A quick ten second search through my games directory reveals no less than three games using a 'db' folder, excluding Paradox games.

The main difference between Pax and EU is of course the political system in Pax. But yeah, the strategic gameplay is almost identical. Phillipe has stated that he intends to revivit the Roman Era in the future, but I assume he will use the AGEOD engine that Birth of America, American Civil War, and Napoleon's Campaigns uses; which is fine by me.

Well, unless they are extremely good thieves I doubt it. As we did not license them the eu-engine I wrote.

How can you play TW for the battles! One archer unit can take down forces 5x its size. It is sooo rigged and easy! TW AI is way worse than Paradox's hence me buying their games!

For the record, I have never lost a TW battle, EVER! (and yes I have played a million battles, against extordinary odds)

TW has a good concept, it is just not there. Once they get it, then maybe, I will buy another TW game.

And yes I know I am weird ;)
