Europa Barbaroum or Roma Surrectum 2?

[Masterlamb]

which is better?

[HazardHawk]

as long as you make a complete vanilla backup of your Rome Folder, try one, then try the other. Without a backup folder I cannot help you repair your Rome if it glitches

HEY HAWK I GOT HIM BACK OFF, um ROMA 2 DEFINATELY europe ruins the game and turns it into complete c**** licking s***

It depends what you like.

RSII looks better (graphics), you make more money per turn, has larger unit sizes for larger battles, vast building options and relentless AI for tons of battles. It can be real fun early on but later it's hard to keep up with your buildings and vast number of stacks to protect and/or attack. It has a great music soundtrack also.

EB is more like a very fun interactive history lesson. You make less money per turn. The graphics aren't as pretty but still looks nice, like water color or color pencil effect. You spend more time building up your provinces and calculating your next move and battles are less but more meaningful.

Personally, I've played both for hundreds of hours but my favorite is EB. I still have it installed and love the feeling it gives you. Sort of like hunting and fishing where less is more. I still like RSII but it's for people who just really like to battle endlessly and lots of macroing. Both are good, just a matter of your preference. Do you want to bust lots of heads or feel like your part of a story.

I have EB, and I love it. There's something about playing as the Saka Rauka with OP horse archers at the beginning of the campaign... :3

[Torakiki]

RS2 is better

[x Papadox]

There's but one question to be answered. What's more important, historical background, or graphics?

Historical Background - EB
Graphics - RS2

You can't go wrong, it's like a Ferrari or a Lamborghini.

[Mikaelmorgansjodin]

EB all the way for me

A more apt comparison is one is focused on improving game play and the other on appearence.

And we all know where this has led CA, which is to say, astray when it comes to game design.

Granted... Appearance is nice, but one day it will be outdated. Gameplay is fantastic, because you cant outdate a challenge...

[TheCretan]

Europa Barbarorum because rs2 is a pain in the ass to install on steam

[baddude1337]

I would say RS2 all the way. A lot of people say it isn't historically accurate which doesn't make sense as it is, right down to highly detailed unit and building description and histories. It has a fantastic traits system as well to better simulate the politics of the time. The fantastic graphics also help, as well as the numerous tweaks and options for it. Don't like the long battles? There is a folder with extras in it to make them shorter, for example.
