About This Game​

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...

As a huge fan of the Age of Empires series (as well as Romance of the 3 Kingdoms), I've heard so many good things about Europa Universalis! This looks right up my alley, bro!! When i saw "THE GOLDEN HORDE" in the video, my little kid inside went "YES!! THE HOOOOOOORDE!!"

Gonna put this on my wishlist for sure!!

Looking forward to this one. However Im trying to be very cautious as Ive had trouble getting into Paradox GS games before. One of my favorite games is CK3, but it seems it's also one of the most accessible with Stellaris. I'm hoping this one doesn't have a very steep learning curve (I struggled with EU4 and dropped it, never tried again after really getting into ck3)

Yes, Europa Universalis overall could feel complex at first, especially if you're more into playing soft strategies as turn based 4x or sim builders. From my own experience, in the Paradox's grand strategy department EUIV is something in between: not as easy to learn as CK3 or Stellaris, but also not as hard as Vicky3 and HOI4. The difficulty feels more similar to Imperator Rome. In other words, I think none of those grand strategy games are difficulty per say, but more about the knowledge regarding its huge content and mechanics. It takes some time to learn for sure, but then every game feels very gratifying and rewarding like none other.

If you have in mind to get EUV start by learning it slowly and observing how it plays, don't need to rush or be discouraged by errors (because those errors are part of the learning curve). Also, this game somewhat will have some parts in common with CK3, because comparing with previous EU games, the rulers will be more important even if you'll control the nation. That part I think it's more explained in the posted video about "Government, Politics & Estate". Also there will be added the "pops" from Vicky3, for a better in game experience that is explained in the video "Population & Living World". Overall, from what I saw will be more approachable in terms of mechanics with variety in options to be played by a more vast audience. If you enjoyed a lot CK3, don't worry you'll enjoy a lot EUV .

 

[Martan]

I have it exactly otherwise. I am playing EU IV quite often, but I never really got into CK2 or CK3, as I never really understood the mechanics of how it works

I'm a bit worried because Paradox usually has bad starts to these games. You usually need to wait a couple of months or even years for DLCs to make the game more playable, interesting, and real.

Anyway, I really look forward to it. Again, in this game, I will waste tens of hours that I will never get back.

Just remembered your post from a while ago about struggling on EU titles, so I think this new tutorial released by Paradox: "Here's Everything You Need To Know Before You Unpause Europa Universalis V" will give you a good and direct approach on what to do before starting. I think that's the main problem new players have on how to prepare and setup before unpausing and experiencing a grand strategy title. After that, is just acting and learning while you're experiencing EUV:

Thanks, Im excited for this. Problem is when I started out I tried to play it as a Civ and the action is a bit different. However I couldnt get my head around HoI4 or Vicky3, so I'm hoping this one clicks. Stellaris and CK3 I really enjoyed (CK3 being one of my top games in the last 5 years)

Yes, I think I understand your problem with some PDX games. You're urged normally by that typical 4X approach to play, where you are used more to turn based objectives, expanding with every turn and exploring the map while you're managing cities productions and stuff. That's true, CK3 and Stellaris are one of the most easiest to get into, while VIC3 or HOI4 are very technical to some degree because the depth and setting is orientated to economics, politics, or logistics about war. EUV definitely will be more inclined to CK rather than the other two, so will be more accessible in UI and mechanics without losing its depth, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it especially that you'll have the opportunity to play "vanilla" and then later learning from future expansions (that I guess will be a lot). I also recommend Imperator Rome, its cheap and in its best state, one of the easiest to learn, so you can enjoy a mega campaign via map convertors in the future: IR to CK3 to EU5.

Ohhh i have I:R in my library. I should give it a try. Bought it for like 1$ and played for 5 minutes never came back don't remember why but looked interesting. Read PDX abandoned it but if it's bug free I might as well try it

Yes, I:R on its release date and months after was in a very sorry state. Then, PDX sort of abandoned it, but somehow a few years later they decided to overhaul it entirely for free changing entirely the mechanics, the UI, and the overall performance. Feels and looks like another game now, polishing it even further:

Reading reviews seems like this one might take a while to grasp. This is what im dreading:

"Now for the caveat: yes, EU5 does a great job at onboarding. However, the game is too big, too complex, and too deep for me to ever say that they could do enough of a job. Paradox’s grand strategies err on the side of grand almost too heavily. I have all those hundreds of hours I keep alluding to, and getting to grips with EU5 felt like an incredibly steep learning curve. For those who have experience, even with only EU4, that curve is going to be a steep cliff. The community’s joke is that reaching your first 1,000 hours in a Paradox game is just completing the tutorial: it feels less jokey with this one.

I know there are some sickos in the community who will love that idea. I’m one of them! But gosh, I really do have to reiterate that this is a complex one."

On the other hand, I lately been feeling like starting another ck3 run

"However, the game is too big, too complex, and too deep for me to ever say that they could do enough of a job." That's exactly what I want from a strategy game to be big, deep and complex. The 1000 hours to learn the game though, feels like an over exaggeration, new players can do just fine by learning the basics in a few hours (especially the vanilla version). But overall, that's the point of those titles, you pick a nation with its own mechanics, traits and a mission tree, then later you can pick another path with the same, or pick another nation that could be played totally different. I mean in those 1000 hours you learn parts of the entire map, so I think being deep and complex It's a good thing, especially that is huge replay value in those games... Tomorrow is the EUV release, can't wait !!!

Man, this looks so awesome.
And I agree, I like having the dual option of playing more casually, but also to go as deep and complex as possible, which in the end can really add to the immersion of a grand strategy game!
EU5 really looks like it's going to be a game that scratches BOTH itches, and raises the bar in terms of complexity if needed! I say, welcome!

Bro, I played yesterday almost all the night, and I was so tired at work today mostly sleeping at the same time thinking to go home and play more. I love everything about this game: the UI, the presentation, the vibrancy and transitions between windows and popups, so many map modes, and feels more approachable but also complex at the same time incorporating some parts from CK and Vic. And the soundtrack Is just wooow, the best!!! First time when I played it I had my headphones on so I was very surprised by that overture tune in the main menu, feeling goosebumps on my skin (and also in some parts during the game). There are aspects they'll need to polish overtime and also to add more graphical enhancements with more details on the map, but man its already a great base for what will be added in the next 10 - 15 years. From the very start it shows that a lot of passion and love was invested during the development of EUV.

 

[millossobek]

That's a marvelous soundtrack bro, with so much atmosphere! There's absolutely nothing like the feeling of a brand-new strategy game, one where you know that there are hours upon hours of endless fun, and you are just getting started to get your arms around a gigantic universe!! The civilizations, the struggle, the history, and the world-building in this game look so insane, I will definitely be checking this out sooner or later, perhaps when the prices go down a little bit! Amazing ! I will be keeping an eye on your other reviews and developments my friend!

Totally, I saw people praising the music so much on forums, just epic. I agree with the fact that PDX games are very expensive, especially over time . I can't even imagine how much I spent just in CK II and EU IV onwards regarding all those expansions and dlcs, but the good part with PDX is that you have a certainty involving their franchises in terms of strong update support during at least an entire decade (there is already an EUV 1.02 patch just after two days of release pretty extensive) plus a lot of additional content that will make the game positively unrecognizable over time, so I'll never regret it. Not to mention that with those games I learned so much history from every corner of the earth by just picking a specific region on the map, shaping and experiencing through it from a particular era (game) and then being curious by clicking directly in the game on specific Wiki links. Of course, I'll keep the best news coming for you guys regarding EUV!!!

Spoiler: Patch 1.02
