False.
EU1 is like the demo version of EU2.

No, there are some major changes ... the graphics are the same, but if
you're interested in graphics then EU of any sort is not for you. It
is detailed, expansive, complicated and pretty wonderful ... EU2
moreso because it is even more detailed, expansive, complicated and
wonderful.
By saying you are new to the genre, I wouldn't recommend either one.
Opt for something a little easier to start ... however, if you're
asking for which is better, EU2 is way out in front. There were ways
to do some of the things in EU ( like play minor countries ) that you
can do in EU2, but they involved editing files.

Maybe it's because EU2 wasn't out yet?

Hmm since EU1 can generally be picked up at ebgames for a buck ninty nine
($1.99), I'd say you couldnt go wrong if you do. But they are complex,
slow... slow.... slow.... paced games, and graphically adequate though a
little on the light side. But good games, though again feels a little light
on the diplomatic side too, but that could be because civilization wasn't as
advanced as it is now back then.

appreciate a quick run through of the main changes or enhancements so I can
decide if I am going to get EU2 when its out here in the UK.

Well, it *is* out in the UK as of yesterday. So far, I haven't seen
an on-line price lower than that at amazon.co.uk (24.99GPB).
As for the main changes, I should leave that to people who
have played both, but the most obvious are a longer historical
time span represented, more cultures, more religions, more
territories, and new government policy controls. I own EU1.
I will buy EU2 - but I haven't played Civ3 out completely,
have just ordered SE4Gold, and figure I can keep myself
from getting terminally bored until the first round of price
cuts on EU2 in the UK. ;-)

domestic sliders. Many of the main European countries are scripted
with events and leaders. So you get to have some of the great
generals/admirals that occurred in that country's history.
Or maybe you get to go through the civil war and break up that took
place in your country's history as well as the positive events
that took place. E.g. Castile or Aragon becoming Spain, Moscowy
becoming Russia. With the number of countries that you can play
and the fact that the game never plays the same way twice it means
a greatly extended life span for the game.

You know, I agree ... in my latest game the Asians have completely
kicked the snot out of Muscovy and Novgorod ... so that Russian
juggernaut is never going to get started ... and the AI did that one,
not me ...

As you are new to this genre then NEITHER, as they are games targeted at
VERY experienced players of the genre.
