About

Developed by Paradox Tinto, the fourth instalment of the award-winning Europa Universalis series gives you a chance to control any nation in the world and lead it through four dramatic centuries - starting from the late middle ages and culminating in the Napoleonic era. Rule your land and dominate the world with unparalleled freedom, depth and historical accuracy. Write a new history of the world and build an empire for the ages.
Europa Universalis IV includes the base game, three expansion packs and one cosmetic compilation pack.

Europa Universalis IV: Control any nation in the world across four centuries of history, writing a new history of humankind from the Age of Discovery to the Age of Revolutions. Accumulate wealth, land and prestige in a fierce competition for global dominance.
Art of War: Centered on the 30 Years War and bubbling political instability between church and state, this expansion features improved gameplay mechanics that puts warfare at the forefront of your quest for domination on the continent.
Common Sense: This expansion focuses on diplomacy and the internal development of nations. It allows you to peacefully develop your nation and build a 'tall' empire, whilst also giving you the tools to execute grand diplomacy. Game changing religious features add depth and intriguing complexity to the gameplay.
Rights of Man: This expansion adds greater depth and detail to a host of game systems. New Great Power diplomatic options give them more flexibility, monarch personality traits add more flavour to the power of the throne and there are new religious options for Coptic and Fetishist religions.
Digital Extreme Edition Upgrade Pack: This compilation pack includes mostly cosmetic content, including new unit art, event art and game music drawn from content packs inspired by Islamic, Ottoman, Central European and American History. It also includes unique events from the American Dream pack.
Start before the Renaissance on a map of the world as it was then. Choose from any of hundreds of nations and then rule up to the Age of Revolutions. Or, if you wish, start your game at any date in the span, with historical monarchs and other leaders.
Hundreds of dynamic historical events are yours to experience, from merely troubling civil wars to world changing moments like the Protestant Reformation. Discover and settle the New World, or resist European conquest.
Control the flow of trade by developing your trade power in key provinces, using ships and governmental policy to bring the wealth of the world to your own ports.
Build alliances into iron bonds, cemented by royal marriage or play a flexible hand, keeping your options open. Strike when your enemies are weak, using your armies to grab new land and new potential riches.
Your nation’s pace of development will be heavily influenced by the person on the throne. Experience rapid development under a skilled monarch only to see things slow down when a less competent heir takes over. Plan for the future by spending monarch power wisely.
Four hundred years of research into new ways of war, administration and trade are available. Unlock new weapons, new buildings and new ship types. Over time, you can embrace national ideas that represent both your historic legacy and your ambitions for the future.
From grand voyages of discovery to religious wars to revolutionary governments, the entire history of the early modern world waits for you to rewrite it in Europa Universalis IV.

Possibly the best game ever made? You do need most/all of the DLC's for a good experience of the game. It can be straining on the budget if you buy them all at once. If you are thinking about trying this game, go for the subscription. Last I know you can cancel anytime and 7$ a month isn't that bad.
Ну что, искатели приключений, любители перекраивать карты и вершить судьбы народов! Присаживайтесь к столу и слушайте) Вердикт мастера подземелий: Это не игра — это война миров в масштабе четырёх столетий! Вы берёте под свою руку любое государство на карте и ведёте его через эпоху Великих географических открытий, Реформации, колониальных войн и Наполеоновских баталий. Здесь нет места мелким интригам — тут решаются судьбы континентов! Осмотр локации: Карта огромна, как сам мир! Вы можете отправить корабли в Новый Свет, заключить союз с турками, натравить французов на англичан и прибрать к рукам пол-Европы. Всё в ваших руках: дипломатия, торговля, войны, технологии, религия. Один неверный шаг — и ваша империя рухнет как карточный домик. Оружие и тактика: Главное оружие здесь — ум и расчёт. Думайте на сто лет вперёд! Заключайте браки, стройте заводы, управляйте торговыми потоками, подавляйте восстания. И помните: побеждают не те, у кого больше войск, а те, кто лучше понимает геополитику. Как в великих шахматах, только пешек — миллионы! Сложность: Этот мир не для новобранцев, искатели! Он требует железных нервов, холодного разума и готовности к тому, что ваши планы рухнут в одно мгновение. Но именно в этом — величие игры! Награда: Когда ваша маленькая страна превращается в мировую империю — чувствуете себя настоящим завоевателем! Как Александр Македонский или Чингисхан, только с картой и дипломатами. Итог: Всем, кто устал от мелких разборок и хочет вершить судьбы мира — настоятельно рекомендую! Всем любителям истории и стратегий — обязательно! EU4 — для настоящих властелинов! Удачи в ваших завоеваниях, герои! И помните: мир никогда не будет прежним.
The game is great, you can play it over and over again and will definitely take you quite a while to figure out all the mechanics. I played almost 70 hours so far and I'm still struggling lol There's lots of things to experiment with, but around the first 5-10 hours I got the hand of the main mechanics which allowed me to try a game on my own and from there it's just discovering new and new things. The downsize is the expansions, as with any Paradox game. You need them to properly enjoy the game, and it's insane to demand of someone to spend 375€ to enjoy a full game they've BOUGHT. So the only alternative is to pay for the suscription, which is still rather expensive, and slowly test and acquire those expansions you like the most. And please don't spend 50€ on the base game. Also, for the minority out there of MacOS users, the optimization is terrible, at least the M Series of chips. You can't play on fullscreen unless you have an external monitor, as the GUI clashes with the notch(you can adjust the GUI scale, but even that isn't properly done!), and the game will just decide to crash randomly and ♥♥♥♥ up your save - especially when the Ottomans annex Byzantium, for some reason. If you are on MacOS and are thinking of buying it, do it at your own risk. Other Paradox games like HOI4, Cities Skylines(kind of), or CK3 work a lot better. And make sure to set the autosave every month. It gets tedious but you won't lose your save. But you may also get lucky and have a game without crashes until the mid-late game! I'd give it a try if you snatch it at a nice discount :)
Все еще лучшая игра от этой студии, конечно выходили говно дополнения и 99% нововходящих скажут, что тут насрано механиками, но нет, когда начинаешь вливаться то эта игра тебя не отпускает. А еще это одна из немногих игр пароходов, где ИИ действительно твой соперник. В общем все кто хочет игры, где нужно думать и разбираться в механиках - велком, это прекрасная игра.
EFSANE! Oyun içerikleri DLC olarak satılmayıp tam bir oyun çıkartılsa daha iyi olur.
With all the DLC at a cheap price and an UI mod for your resolution it's a very solid game.
Always enjoy its high level of freedom to decide the future of the country. I really like how this game provides many scenarios where we can freely choose different periods and experience various large-scale wars. And of course, the opportunity to learn the history, learn FROM the history - How a wrong decision could lead a country into disaster; how a tiny mistake or moment of negligence could cause a war to take a sharp turn for the worse; how naive one can be to believe that any alliance would last for good. [u]In the game, we can pause or even sl, but in real life?[/u] The reason we study history is to prevent past tragedies and disasters from happening again, to stop us from killing each other, and that is why it is even included in our school curriculum. Unfortunately, in the real world today, there are not many places where true history is actually taught. Instead, history is often manipulated, embellished, and distorted. Not to mention that many people who study history still end up repeating the very mistakes that history was supposed to help us avoid. Oh my...We and our children are going to suffer from the cycle! [i]"秦人不暇自哀,而后人哀之。后人哀之而不鉴之,亦使后人而复哀后人也。"[/i] -- 《阿房宫赋》 [i]"Qin people didn’t have the opportunity to grieve its misfortune, and let those who succeeded them to grieve for them. If successors grieved but didn’t learn from it, then their successors would again grieve for them."[/i] -- <Epang Palace Prose>
