Europa Universalis III is a grand strategy video game developed by Paradox Development Studio and published by Paradox Interactive. The game was released.

Will my system run this game?I have looked up the system requirements and such. But specifically, taking into account the possible unnoticed bottle-neck, could my system run this.My Specs:AMD Athlon 2800+ 2.1GHz (Single Core)EVGA 8400 GS (512MB Video Ram)960 MB DDR1 RAMWindows XP SP22. Is there any manual or format that explains the rules of the game?I am waiting for this game to come via Amazon and would like to be able to play it straight from the box. Besides having to download anything off of a virus infested site, is there any way to get the manual quickly?3.

Does this game have all of the Bugs and Crashes I hear about?According to my specs, if that should handle it than what would cause the crashes or bugs? I have heard people say that they can't load their saves or that the game just crashes or glitches. Is there a patch I need to download? For the record, I ordered the 'Complete Edition'. Is that version patched straight from the box? Or would I need to download a patch?

Please, this is my biggest fear for this game.4. Could you recommend a good starting nation for me?I don't want to start as a large nation like France or Ming China, but rathor a small nation that is not too hard and has good potential. I want to start small because I want to micro my territories.

Jalopy definition, an old, decrepit, or unpretentious automobile. Jalopy definition is - a dilapidated old vehicle (such as an automobile). How to use jalopy in a sentence. Jalopy.

Also, I want to do most of the dirty work of making my nation great; not the starting situation; Considering Portugal for this reason. Please include any other thoughts.5. Any basic tips to pass down to a novice?I have played Civilization IV for a very long time and am now decently good at it. However, diving into EU3 will be a very steep learning curve. Anything basic, not too advanced, (I'd like to figure some of that out on my own) but something that would keep me from screwing myself the first game.So any and all replies are welcomed and thanked in advance, I hope this game turns out fun for me. I'm not entirely sure on this but the game should run just fine, even on your aged processor.2. I think you can get the manual on the Paradox Interactive Forums but I think you need to register your game before you can get it.3.

The only bugs or glitches that you'll probably notice are text errors in some of the events. I think EU3 Complete was released just a little bit before the last expansion came out so you probably don't have to worry about patches. Europa Universalis III on a whole is pretty stable except for multiplayer which sometimes works flawlessly and other times crashes repeatedly and the tutorial which was broken when the first expansion pack came out.4. Smaller nations that are good for new players are England and Castille.

Diner Dash®: Hometown Hero™ On a visit to her hometown, Flo takes a stroll down memory lane and finds things unlike she remembers. Help Flo and her Grandma Florence restore the town they love by revitalizing 5 restaurants in 5 unique locations like the zoo and the baseball stadium.

Naples might also work but I haven't played them yet. Another thing is that there isn't a lot of managing of provinces in EU3. Basically all you do with them is convert them, enact provincial decisions and build improvements when they become available. The only Paradox game I know of with a large amount of provinical management is Victoria.

Also Ming is one of the worst choices for a new player to play simply because it gets a ton of negative 'bonuses' to prevent it from conquering all of asia.5. For some reason I have seen a lot of people struggle with loading units on to ships so just incase: Put the transport ship (Cog, flyte, merchantman etc.) out to sea. Make sure there is 1 ship for each land unit. Select the land unit and right click on the transport fleet.The game tries to simulate peace treaties of the era so don't expect to take half a civilized country in one war.Don't expand to aggressively. If you take too much territory too quickly all of the AI nations will declare war on you in a way similar to how all of Europe declared war on France during the Napoleonic wars.If you have any other questions feel free to ask in this thread, the EU3 Game thread or the Paradox Interactive thread.
