Should I purchase Europa Universalis? I mean to you guys is it worth the almost $40 the computer store wants for it? I have experience playing SMAC and SMAC-X. I also like action type games like Rainbow Six. So would you reccomned I buy it?

Well, yes of course I like European history. That's why I'm interested in the game. How are the graphics compared to say SMAC?

A lot better IMHO, it's much easier to look at
On each of the 4 maps, all is very decernable, well the main map gets cluttered but it's not as bad as SMAC clutter.
The main map is where the action is, you can see the terrain of the provinces change from snowy to desert etc. Units(ships and armies) are semi large and easy to see, also all countries have different colored units, France is blue, England is red, Spain is yellow, etc so you can see that a lot better than SMAC.
Political map is straight forward. The colors are vivid, and when I say vivid, even in the center of europe wheres theres about 20 different countries you can get to each easily. Also each capital has it's little shield thing on the political map to get to the diplomacy screen with that country.
Economic map, Well it's easy to see what each province has, Fish are clear, Grain is clear, etc. Um I don't really have the economics game down tight yet so I'm not too sure on any usefulness of this map I hardly ever use it. I just put auto merchants on.
Religious map, ok but the reformed and counter reforms and all those other micro religions are hard to tell which is which. It's good to tell if you are gonna switch and have rebels or whatever.
But all in all the graphics are pretty good, they are clear, crisp, nothing fancy and a little bit cartoonish. Which is just fine.
If civ3s graphics are this good I'll be set.

Though I think if I do buy it, I'll wait until the 1.08 version comes out, so hopefully some of the bugs will be fixed.
