I've got the base game which I thought was cool. I only put about 20 hours into it before I got distracted by a million other games. I nearly picked up my DLC yesterday, but I still have too many other games in my Steam library waiting for first install.

I really like how they have progressed the strategy genre with CKII.

CK2 seems to be releasing DLC faster than I can complete a playthrough. At least it's usually good DLC that adds content Shame that it's causing issues for the guys who make the game of thrones mod with constant updates

RnR · Dec 20, 2014

I can understand why Paradox is releasing DLC's like mad. You strike while the iron is hot. And both CK2 and EUIV are still sexy hotties.

Tulgar · Dec 21, 2014

yep, EUIV on steam sale at the moment very cheap. I nearly bought it, but already have too many unplayed games. Will wait for future sale.

After smashing through the world in EU3 I couldn't resist while 4 was on sale. Oh yeah.

I absolutely adore EU4!
It has so many layers of complexity - I've played it for about 150 hours, and I still find myself pausing the game and searching the internet to find out for how long "nationality" will prevent me from changing the culture in one of my newly annexed provinces, or what I can do to increase my country's "base tax" in order to vassalize Brittany (France just doesn't look right without it)!

Has anyone given the multiplayer aspect of the game a shot?

Another month... another DLC

The centerpiece of El Dorado is the Nation Designer, a tool that let’s you customize your starting nation in a campaign. Choose your starting capital and neighboring provinces, modify your starting culture and leader and then lead this new nation to new and original heights of glory. The infinite replayability of EU4 has just gotten even more infinite, if that’s possible (the company mathematician is still on holiday).

This expansion’s historical focus on the Central American and South American theaters of exploration will challenge you with new decisions worthy of a king or conqueror. As the Aztecs, subject the Mexican plain to your rule but make sure you have enough vassal kings to sacrifice to your angry gods. As the Europeans, push deeper into the jungles of the Amazon, following rumors of lost cities and magical fountains. Defer to the Pope as he intervenes to divide the New World among squabbling empires.

Features include:

A deep Nation Designer gives you new starting options for your games, including national ideas and custom monarchs

Experience the new Nahuatl, Inti and Mayan religions with blood sacrifices or Sun Worship

Send your conquistadors to hunt for the Seven Cities of Gold, or your explorer on exploration missions around the world

Gold Fleets can traffic New World wealth back to Europe, and be targeted by your privateer fleets

Use your trade fleets to hunt dangerous pirates

Maintain good relations with the Pope so you can get a corner of the world to call your own in the Treaty of Tordesillas

Europa Universalis IV: El Dorado will be available on major digital delivery platforms for Windows, Mac and Linux next month.

The above don't mention the new Fort system thats also coming - https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...4-development-diary-9th-of-april-2015.849816/ or the subtle changes to the map in the European zone.

RnR · Jul 10, 2015

The 'Common Sense' DLC has arrived and the bugfest patches have been coming thick and fast in the last week. So ofcause its time for a new Dev Diary entry;

Hello and welcome to another Development Diary for Europa Universalis 4. A few weeks ago I talked about old features that didn't end up as we wanted, and specifically I wrote quite a bit about Random New World. I also said that I was trying to find the time and resources to redo the feature and that if we did, there would be another dev diary about it.

Today, I can announce that we are in fact remaking Random New World, and so, as promised, here is a dev diary about it.

Woo - I'm excited

RnR · Oct 2, 2015

New DLC for EUIV is coming... no name for it, but it will feature more internal dynamics, and the Steppes Hordes will get a heap of new features. All the dev diaries are in this post - https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...ersalis-iv-recent-development-diaries.877170/

Hadn't looked at Europa Universalis IV for a while, so I thought I would pop into their forums to see what new ideas were cooking in those sexy Swedish brains...

One of the parts of the game that has not changed much since eu1 is the concept of technology groups and technological development around the world. We’ve added concepts like westernising, and tweaked that one, but in the end Europe has a huge advantage from day 1, and lots of fun gameplay options are limited the further away you are.

So this is what will happen in 1.18, when it is released this autumn..

A nation’s technology group no longer affect technology research.

There is now a concept called Institutions, which will affect your technology research. There are seven different institutions that appear over the game, and if you don’t get them to spread into your country and then get embraced by your government, your technology costs will slowly rise.

Each institution will appear in a province fullfilling certain factors, and then slowly spread around the world. The nation owning that province will gain prestige and monarch power.

Every year the penalty for not having embraced an institution will grow by 1%, so there is a gradual process.

When an institution has spread to at least 10% of your development, you can embrace it in your government, removing the penalty permanently, and also giving a bonus to your nation. The cost to embrace depends on the amount of development in your nation without the institution.

All institutions spread over borders (including 1 seazone away), if relations are positive, and the spread is based on development in the province getting it. There are also lots of other factors related to the spread.
