I just saw the 5th game came out today and I was wondering if the series was any good. Also does it take a good PC to run it? If anyone's played any of these games I would appreciate you input. (Didn't look like a hugely popular game so i'm not sure if anyone can even help me )

It looks like a RTS, so I don't think it would take a good PC to run it.

Thats what I hoping for

Fourth game in the series, actually And the series is quite popular, especially for a real time strategy game. I'd head over to the Paradox Interactive forums to find out about the game.

I've yet to buy it, but I'm planning to. There's a DLC for Crusader Kings II (by the same developer) which allows you to port your game into EUIV and continue your kingdom/empire.

Wow am I that bad with Roman numerals

EDIT: oops, ok I see now V=5 IV=4

No worries - Roman Numerals are no longer used for a reason
