It's the same basic game, though they've improved a few things in the economic engine and expanded the game's basic timeline. One thing to note, though...EU2 has a crapload of historical events, while EU3's events are more general, and not tied to specific nations. So EU2 is more historically true, though that can lead to situations where after repeated plays you can almost 'game' the AI at certain times, because you know a certain event is coming and it doesn't. One other thing...in EU2 you can start the game at the beginning of 4 different time period within the span of the game. With EU3, you can start the game in any year of the entire scope of the game. If you are going to pick that one up, I would recommend looking around in stores, as there is a retail version of the game that includes both expansions (which REALLY improved the game) for about $35, as opposed to $60 for the game and both expansions online. EU2's a solid buy, though, and there's still a pretty good community and mod community for it. I have tried EU3, but I don’t yet own it.
