Why would I buy EUII?

EP is better imo

Its a more historical game with in EP at any rate a better AI.

True, you can easily get a better AI, if you let the AI have all sorts of cheats (quick switches to optimized DPs at historical points).

Ok, you can control pirates & rebels (if you do that cheat) but you can't play as them (ie create a 'rebel county', start building more rebels, and start diplomacy with other powers) Quite often with the major powers, the events steer you down a certain path (Portugul to create colonial empire, etc) but they can be avoided. That's why I still like playing France - she gets the oppotunity to do whatever tactic you desire.

I remember. You can also control natives if they are in revolt using the same cheat as rebels & pirates.

Many games have gone for the eye candy now, like EU III and Civilization IV. Although Paradox has done it better than Fraxis did, EU III just doen't hold me the same as it's predessor did.

CivIV is far more fun then EUIII o

All a matter of opinion. I like candy like everyone else, but I hate it if it sacrificed for gameplay.
