  By yakaspat | Review Date: Oct 30, 2009 | PC

  I wrote this review immediately after EU Rome was released, and only gave the game a 7.0 at the time due to some very annoying issues. However, Paradox, unlike most major PC game makers, has completely patched the game ... Read Full Review

  Vae Victis does a good job of improving on the somewhat broken EU:Rome, and adds considerable depth and enjoyment

  It's a good game, but there are some minor stuffs to fix.

  By dhiti | Review Date: Jun 24, 2008 | PC

  Though nothing new in this sequel except improved graphic, more campaigns to play and new units, I still really enjoy playing this game. The thing I don't like about it is that there is no warning message after you have ... Read Full Review
