Europa Universalis
Koch Distribution set to unleash Paradox Entertainment's historical strategy game "Europa Universalis".
Published in the UK on PC CD (£29.99) on March 2nd 2001, strategy and board game enthusiasts will be able to delve deep into the heart of ancient Europe. Avid fans of European history will be able to re-enact colonizations, advance warfare and compete for wealth and glory guided to victory by historically accurate maps and imagery. Europa Universalis, unique in its scope and magnitude, combines fun, intrigue, steeped in rich history, found through ten years of compiling and consulting maps from all over Europe. The game is published and distributed in the UK by Koch Distribution.
Developed exclusively by Paradox Entertainment, Sweden's leading developer of high quality PC games, Europa Universalis heralds from an impressive and outstanding background. Last year Paradox had a major PC CD hit with Airfix Dogfighter, and the highly anticipated Europa Universalis looks set to follow hot in its interactive footsteps. This is the first truly comprehensive, highly detailed historical strategy game, requiring skilful management and diplomacy to guide your country through 300 years of European history.
Based on the top selling board game of the same name (a huge success when it was originally released in France during the early 1990s), Europa Universalis immerses the PC player in the totally absorbing role of a European superpower, taking historical PC strategy games to the next level. Fans of Age of Empires and the RTS genre will love this historically authentic adventure, as you travel back through the centuries to the time of Napoleon.
