Europa Universalis: Rome Demo Released! - DrewG - 04-04-2008
Hey guys,
I've been waiting for Europa Universalis: Rome for a while now, and I'm sure I've seen it mentioned in RAT before.
Well it's the moment I've been waiting for - a demo!
Not quite the whole shemozzle, but it's getting there, it's to be released around April 15 - 20 in North America.
Here's the new article:

Hope you all enjoy it - I'm downloading it now.

Ave Lucius Varenus! Your scouts have done good work in locating such a prize. I shall download this weekend. I know nothing about EU but so many people rave about it I think perhaps I should know more, so look forward to trying it out.
Have you had any more slave revolts under the great slave leader Neddius Kellius recently?
Cheers mate

Neddius lives on even in his death, the town of Artium, in the outback has recently had revolts with slaves and brigands looting and burning fires, the forum was attacked and all the artwork and amphoras were stolen. My precious wine! They demanded that Neddius be named a god. (Will keep you updated)
Sadly EU:R wont let me have the size as 1280X1024, I suspect it's a bug, as it crashes once I "apply" after going to a small black screen.
Will play it tomorrow. I'll let you guys know how good it is.

Ave Varenus! Well I downloaded it, installed (twice) but all I get is a dialog box when I try to load the game that says it won't start up because d3dx9_35.dll was not found! How have you got on with the download?

Downloaded game...looks great but moves soooo sloooow.. Everytime I make a move the whole map redraws making the game unplayable... Kind of puts me off getting the whole game.

Quite sad, maybe they'll release a better demo in coming days. I definitely will be trying a different demo if it's available, because what I've heard from this seems to be good, but the demo just denies all these good things.
I'll let you know how I go.
My installation was fine, no errors.

Thanks Varenus. It now works and works very well. I have no problems witht he graphics. I think you need to know EU to get a hang of it. Seems very strategic and deep. I'll stay with it for a while and see how I get on.
