Rome was good as it only focused on that area of Europe.

Also I think there is a huge engine problem if the 2d world is put at a angle so it heads into a unlimited circle of the map being viewed over and over until your computer melts.

What has that got to do with the graphics of EU: Rome compared to Vicky II?

By now most computers should be able to handle rotating a map, even the size of the world.
Rome focuses on a smaller area, thus the resolution and detail for the terrain in Rome can be much larger than in Vicky 2.

Since the world wouldn't be all rendered at the same time, why would that be a problem?

And I think it don't need to present in a globe, just a flat map with limited visiblity + rome 3d terrain is ok

Depends on how many resources are spent in working with the ai and other features. 3D graphics aren't at the top of my list for grand strategy games, even with a great PC setup.

I am not sure that we could get the true Victoria feel with only 30 provinces in Europe, perhaps the risk feel, but not the Victoria feel.

one problem is that with a free camera like in rome you can in fact get the camera positioned to view most of the world since its flat.

Am I the only one who thought rotating the map in EU:R was rather useless?

depends how you play imho, it was fun to look around during quiet times and sometimes things looked clearer from a different point of view, but then it was a lot more effort than the EU3/HOI2 camera controls, especially in multiplayer and you tended to just leave it at an angle and mainly zoom after a while.

You are not the only one.

I didn't even know you could rotate the map in EU:R :p

I've never used it, never missed it, so I guess it must be a quite useless function

Seeing Europe upside down was just horrible. Gave you a headache as you struggled to point out what country you were looking at.

upside-down-world-map2.gif


America looks barely a power at all, Russia seems almost dominating the entire world and China looks like it's going to fall over into Russia. Europe barely stands out at all.
