EU: Rome

The demo is out at last. First impressions are good: I already got my ass kicked by Carthage!

Demo starts at the beginning of the second Punic war and has either Carthage or Rome as playables. Lasts about 30 years - I think.

Second Impressions: Map looks really nice - probably the best that Paradox have done IMO. The decision to make the game character driven instead of Event driven looks like being a winner. Captures the feel of Ancient politics and warfare much better I think. Undeniably a thrill in assigning a general called Gaius Julius Caesar to a military command and knowing that if he becomes too powerful he might try to overthrow the government!

I've already pre-ordered the collectors edition. Two weeks to go!
