About
Almost five hundred years of history unfold before you in Europa Universalis V, the latest version of one of the greatest strategy games of all time. Guide the destiny of any of hundreds of nations and societies in a simulated living world of unparalleled depth and complexity.
Europa Universalis V builds on the franchise’s core concept of developing and advancing nations from around a deeply researched historical world, adding more detailed diplomacy, a more sophisticated economic model, a revised military system and greater logistical depth that will challenge even the most experienced strategy gamers.
RULE a land of your choosing. Hundreds of nations are yours to command, as you guide the destiny of millions of people through the late Middle Ages up to the Age of Revolution - from the mighty Yuán Dynasty to the city-states of Italy, from the warring clans of feudal Japan to the Pope himself.
DECIDE which course your nation will take. Historical events and situations await as you chart a unique path through a new history written by your decisions. Experience The Hundred Years’ War, the Protestant Reformation, the collapse of old dynasties and rise of new ones.
EXPLORE alternate histories as you shape the world to meet your ambitions. What if England succeeded in pressing its continental claims? What if China pursued an overseas empire? What if Mongol supremacy in Russia persisted? Every action opens the possibility for an original history.
IMPOSE domestic peace in a divided realm. Keep your nation’s factions in line as Estates jockey for power in your nation. Offer privileges to one group of citizens while you limit the power of another, all in the service of keeping your population under control.
NEGOTIATE your way through an uneasy peace. Use diplomacy to entrench your dynasty across realms or build an invincible alliance. But remember that nations have no permanent friends - only permanent interests; so use your ambassadors carefully. Exact favors from friends, send threats to enemies, and keep an eye on everyone in-between.
CONQUER new lands to expand your borders. Wage War on those who impede your ambition in a completely new Europa Universalis military system. Start in the age of levies and mercenaries and, through social development, evolve to vast standing armies and impenetrable fortresses. Choose skilled commanders to oversee both land and naval forces.
BUILD a strong economic infrastructure in the most detailed trade system yet seen in a Europa Universalis game. Dozens of goods and crops are available for production and trade on a map filled with new riches to discover. Invest in feeding a growing population or trade your surplus to less bountiful societies.
MOLD your society to meet the historical moment. Choose your societal values, with new options opening as the ages move on. Centralize power at court or share it with your nobles. Pursue a tolerant policy for all faiths or condemn heretics. Emphasize massed armies or an elite cadre of quality soldiers.
GOVERN a nation composed of many cultures and faiths in a detailed simulation of the past. For the first time in Europa Universalis, populations are represented on the map in detail, so provinces may be divided by religion or culture. Your decisions will determine how these populations will fare under your leadership.
PREVAIL in the greatest strategic challenges of the past. Test your expertise in grand strategic planning on a worldscape larger and more detailed than seen in any previous Paradox Interactive game. Challenge yourself to outdo the most famous rulers of the past, eclipsing their grand accomplishments and building your own vision of a richly detailed globe.

Actualmente es injugable por desgracia y no porque sea complicado o deje de serlo, el juego en cuanto llega al 1500 se vuelve loco. A nivel de rendimiento mal La colonización Americana es imposible, ej: Colonizas Mexico a través de la conquista y tachan el súbdito que te sale pasa del catolicismo y se hace de una religión mesoamericana. Francia va a estar presente en todas las partidas para venir y hundirte la partida cuando le apetezca. España no se forma en NINGUNA partida solo si eres el jugador y conquistas el otro reino.

EU IV already charred my brain with how many things i had to remember, and this iteration just outright killed me in the first few hours. If you love economics & history, AND you are a spreadsheet freak, this game is basically all you will need. I rate it 10 out of always prioritizing my burghers.
mükemmel. kontrolün zorlaşması harika olmuş. bazı yorumlarda stres atamıyoruz yoğun çaba istiyor dense de ben oyunun sadece savaşa odaklanmayıp kontrol, diplomasi ve ticarete odaklanmasından memnunum.
Absolutely amazing. Can't wait to see more. Each time they update, it accomplishes exactly what I wanted.
Good game, it will need some Updates to reach full potential
Европа Универсалис 5 - это шедевр, как по моему скромному мнению. Она имеет ТОННЫ новых уникальных механик, которые нигде не встретишь. Огромное количество контента, огромный, даже я бы сказал КОЛОССАЛЬНЫЙ реализм, который уникален для игр этого жанра. Многие, возможно и большинство, крайне негативно относятся к этой игре, аргументируя своё мнение о ней несколькими тезисами: игра сложная, игра поломанная, игра скучная. Разработчики изначально ставили своей целью сделать игру реалистичной, не казуальной песочницей, в стиле HOI4 либо той же EU4, а фактически симулятором средневекового развития и стратегии. Не продумаешь одну деталь - всё канет в лету. Ошибёшься в войне - потеряешь территории (и да, дипломатия здесь отменная). Это одно дело. Другое дело это, конечно, эстетический взгляд, как игра ощущается и чувствуется энергетикой. Европа 5-ая, мне кажется, справилась очень хорошо, можно просто заходить в режим выбора стран и разглядывать карту хоть пол-часа, она очень красивая и проработанная. Теперь о минусах, коих достаточно. 1-ое: Оптимизация. Если играть на высоких настройках - пиши-пропало, 30-40 фпс, даже на паузе. Железо у меня хорошее, но даже с ним имеются большие проблемы. Это очень серьёзно, ведь какой бы хорошей игра не была, но если в неё играть, чисто физически, сложно - то всё очень печально. Но, есть решение. Поставить плоскую карту в рамках тумана войны (кто играл - знает), и фпс вырастает до сотни, и карта приобретает эстетический совершенный вид, будто вручную нарисованная карта мира с средневековья, которая, к тому же, ещё и динамичная по мере снятия тумана войны с определённых провинций. 2-ое: Наверное нехватка контента. Это не хойка, тут фокусов нет, и от этого не чувствуется, что твоя страна как-то индивидуально отличается от других, и становится достаточно скучновато, играешь только за любимые страны. Также не хватает формируемых стран, в качестве всей конечной цели экспансии. 3-ее: Баги/интерфейс и прочее. Я, лично, с этим сталкивался вообще изредка, но вот у меня вопросов к Европе 5 абсолютно в этом плане мизерное количество. Где-то не добавлен перевод, где-то осталось название с консоли, по типу "SOCIAL_VALUE1" вместо общественной ценности и т.д. Вылетов никогда не было, каких-то проблем никогда не было, так что мне, кажется, игра очень ещё хорошо справляется, относительно контента и количество механик, которые так легко поломать.
Pire paradox game des 10 dernieres années, c'est quoi ce jeu sincèrement
First ever campaign played as the Byzantines and decided to eat the Ottomans within the first 3 years of gameplay
Please, please rework the PU system. My ruler inherited the throne of Bohemia, but they changed all my laws and I can't even get support for independence. This system is just not working. I would really like to say I love this game, but it needs so much more time. It's just not ready. 27h savegame gone, swabia someday i will comeback to you. 2/10
