About Europa Universalis: Rome - Gold Edition

Europa Universalis Rome Gold combines the epic strategy title Europa Universalis Rome with the expansion pack Vae Victis.
Experience one of the most defining periods in world history in an experience crafted by the masters of Grand Strategy. The greatest cultural and military civilizations are brought to life through this epic title rife with great strategic and tactical depth.
Set during the golden age of the Roman Republic when the Senate ruled the Empire, Vae Victis features a massive number of additions and improvements to Europa Universalis: Rome, a game that was already one of the most prominent to depict that era in the widest scope. An overview of these key changes begins with government, which has received a lot of attention for the expansion in order to produce more fluid and balanced gameplay. The cast of historical characters of the ancient world have also had a significant overhaul across a variety of areas and with the addition of missions, decisions and laws, Vae Victis is an expansion packed with a huge amount of new content.
KEY FEATURES
  • Fully 3D map with integrated graphics and detailed topography
  • Start at any date between 280 B.C. and 27 B.C.
  • Choose between 10 different cultures, including the Roman, Celtic, Greek and Egyptian civilizations, with more than 53 playable factions on a map spanning hundreds of provinces.
  • Watch your characters develop new traits through political intrigue and various interactions with thousands of other characters.
  • Trade, negotiate or fight with your neighbours and advance your technologies to unite the Mediterranean World.
  • Robust multiplayer allows you to challenge up to 32 players either competitively or in co-op mode.
NEW KEY FEATURES IN VAE VICTIS
  • Completely revised military AI, particularly in the area of military campaigns
  • Dynamics of the characters that live in the Republic will come to life as the men and women have their own personal goals and agendas
  • As a republic you will now need to take the Senate into the account. Characters will belong to various parties depending on their goals, values, and ambitions
  • Monarchies and Tribes will have their own courts, beware of bootlickers and sycophants who will stop at nothing to replace your divinely appointed ruler

Not recommended Aug 25, 2025
I never managed to finish a campaign despite many tries. After some time, constant crashes and save corruption become inevitable. Modded, unmodded, this fix, that fix. Doesn't matter. The game is just technically broken, so don't waste your time.

I like it way more than expected. But it is terribly dated unfortunately.

Rome is emerging in the west. The clash with mediterranean superpower Carthage is inevitable. In the east, the powerful Ptolemaic Egypt is competing with the Seleucid empire for dominance, while the persian threat is lurking to consume the latter. Macedonia and Pontus are consolidating over the minor states around them. Barbarians all around constantly threaten to slay and desecrate whatever is in their way. Choose your side and navigate through this unforgiving era of ambitious republics and monarchies. Carefully balance between the state's needs and prominent characters' aspirations. Manage economy and trade to ensure sufficient cash flow and access to key goods. Monitor your social classes to achieve the desired balance between income, manpower and technological progress. Engage in diplomacy and espionage to make friends or undermine rivals. Ultimately, wage war to achieve your goals and prove your worth as the mediterranean sovereign. Old but gold.

Anybody else have this game, but reading as *really* way too small, as in 7 bits? I simply want to know if that's the case and how to solve this quirky situation... because that's just plain weird!
