My guess is that the Civ players who like EU the best are likely the ones who also play Civ that way.Īs someone already posted, EU is also more of a history simulator. The main problem, to me, is less the complexity and more the sense that they have never satisfactorily escaped the sense that it is all about changing the color of the map.
I started very early on EU and have played all the iterations, although not recently.
