Europa Universalis: Rome
Pretend you’re the leader of a great Mediterranean empire in this new strategy game.
A stand-alone game based on Paradox Interactive’s Europa Universalis 3 engine, Europa Universalis: Rome is a grand strategy game that puts you in the role of the leader of Mediterranean empires from a period stretching from the first Punic War to the start of the true Empire.

The game also features multiplayer support for up to 32 players either competitively or in co-op mode.

System requirements call for Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later, G5 or better (including Intel), GeForce 5200 or Radeon 9600 3D graphics (GMA 950 not supported) with at least 64MB VRAM, 512MB RAM, 700MB hard disk space. Online play is managed through Paradox Interactive’s own Metaserver.
