/shrug I don't really see what the problem is. The only two things I would really like are a bigger map and more countries.

Yes, just look at the link in my signature, though we haven't expanded the map yet it is something we are definitely going to do.

I bought Rome as soon as it came out, played it some, realised the game sucked and went back to EUIII. [...]

I am detecting a series of negative sentiments around here. Pray tell, anyone, why all the gripes? I've watched the youtube videos w/ Johan outlining the game, and it seems OK. I was thinking about getting it.

Everyone keeps complaining... I was going to get EUIII, but everyone says the AI is fundamentally flawed. :(

  • Europa Universalis: Rome
I'm having fun with it.

I know it isn't historically perfect.
I know that there should be more units that behave differently.
I know the AI makes mistakes.
I know the map is wrong.
I know Epirus is doomed.
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera

It's still a helluva puzzle to solve and that's what I enjoy.

Lol, I think you're the first person to notice that.

Actually, I was skimming through the thread with your mod, but I was falling asleep at the time, so I didn't really absorb much, heh. I'll have another look when I get a moment.

We all love history, but we realize this is just a game
We all know Rome did not field massive archer armies, but we realize this is just a game
We all know AI is not perfect, but we realize this is just a game
We all know geography better than Paradox, but we realize this is just a game
We all would love to see Epirus win without the help of mods... but we realize that someone in Paradox hates Epirus guts and we are ok with it...

I think it is the broken gameplay that causes the forums to go half-dead:

Too many governors for large empires that don't make much difference
Small states having to conquer a huge empire just to get one province out of the war
Trade routes system that is just too gamey and tiring with larger empires

Why is it when a country in any paradox game seems the slight bit difficult to play, or starts in a hard situation, someone, somewhere assumes that one of the developers is a raging xenophobe who attempts to take out their hatred on the nation and it's people through a video game?

I was guessing that he wasn't entirely serious given his "We all know" refrain.

I got bored of this game and play IN now.

Its just, for lack of a better word, incomplete. The mods don't fix it for me either. I enjoyed the game longer than the other flavor of the week garbage that costs $50 however so I still think its money well spent.

I wont be playing it again however until a patch comes out and fixes my issues with it or a VERY good mod equivellent to AGCEEP or MM come out for it.

Still, I needed to say that just to get it off my chest...

There's a few members who just won't let it go, particularly in the EUIII section.
