About Europa Universalis IV
About this game
Developed and published by Paradox.
In the fourth entry to the beloved and award-winning Europa Universalis series, you'll experience how it feels to rule a nation throughout four centuries with a phenomenal amount of freedom, depth, and historical accuracy! Try your hand at this classic grand strategy title and rewrite history in Europa Universalis IV.
Historical Eras
Choose from any of the hundreds of nations available and begin your journey right before the Renaissance all the way to the Age of Revolutions. If you fancy starting anywhere else between those two periods, you can also choose where to begin!
Historical Moments
Throughout your reign, you'll get to experience hundreds of dynamic historical events! As a true ruler will, you'll live through both big and small moments — from troubling civil wars to world-changing events such as the Protestant Reformation!
Historic...ally Rich!
In Europa Universalis IV, you'll be in control of the flow of the trade in the land. Develop your trade power in the key provinces, and use ships and governmental policies to bring the wealth of the world to your own ports!
Unbreakable Allies
Choose where and who to build alliances with, cemented by royal marriages! Or drop diplomacy and allies and strike your enemies when they're down, take new lands, and become even more powerful!
Be Wise
Above all, a monarch must be a wise and good ruler... but not all of them meet the standards. Your nation will thrive and prosper under your rule if you do it right: experience rapid development under a skilled monarch or watch things move along painfully slowly when an incompetent heir takes over.
Research Is the Way Forward!
You'll have four hundred years of research ahead of you! Find new ways in war, administration, and trade, and through that, unlock new buildings and new ship types! It's all about knowing what to spend your time and money on.

EPIC game
It's a great game with a AI for the whole world so that you enjoy your own country development through the centuries
P.S. I wait/hope to officially recognize at the ironman mode the extended timeline mod.

Staff Review
A strategic empire-building sim, Europa Universalis is a triumph for fans of the genre. Building a successful empire gives the player a real sense of achievement that other strategy games should aspire to recreate. Packed with familiar faces throughout history, it even has a tense cross-platform multiplayer mode which enables players to conquer their friends for the ultimate bragging rights.
