When I originally started, I had doughts...
Listen to the fanboys.
A game which can stir such loyalty and devotion from 30 years old's must have something.
But also Mare Nostrum (which are two mods, Campagna Italiana: Road to Rome and Burning Sands: Afrikafeldzug 41-43 under one name made by one developing team) and Carpathian Crosses...I just say - buy it!!! It's the best game so far... and it's getting better soon - the Normandy mod is comming ... so buy it!!!
