Almost 10 years after the original release, Europa Universalis IV is still popular among hardcore strategists – which is why Paradox Interactive is now pushing the next add-on with “Weltdominion” aka “Domination”. It starts in April!
Paradox Interactive today announced the release date for the next expansion Europa Universalis IV: Domination. Strategy fans can get the add-on for the long-running title from April 18, 2023; Pre-orders are now possible.
The expansion aims to allow you to lead the greatest empires in history. With the necessary foresight, you may draw centuries-old plans to humiliate your enemies and create your own legend. New historical aspects and decisions are introduced to the game, along with new mission trees, historical government reforms, estate challenges, units and more.
Specifically, you can expect new national mission trees and features for:
The Ottoman Empire: A revamped Conquest tree with new rewards for advancing Ottoman dominance, including expansion with the new Eyalet system, and new internal changes such as the new Janissary Estate and the “Ottoman Power Struggle”. China: Different mission trees for the Han Ming and invading empires like Qing. Players must choose between expansion and inner perfection, countering the power of the eunuchs to build a stable empire. Japan: Players can unite Japan by confronting the power of Shogun and the independent Daimyo. One can open the country to foreign influence or keep it isolated by rejecting other paths of expansion and reform. Russia: Players can liberate their country from the Tartar yoke and turn it into a great empire. With the election for Peter’s reforms, the state will be modernized and with that, both the mission tree and the mechanics will change and evolve as the game progresses. To expand the empire to the east and west, the power of the Cossacks and Strelitzi can be used. Spain: Expanded mission trees for Castile and Aragon, with different ways to shape Spain, new mechanics for the new government of the “Hispanic Monarchy” and decisions about the army and navy to get the mighty Tercios and the Spanish Armada. France: Players fight towards the end of the Hundred Years’ War, centralizing France into an absolute monarchy while grappling with the Wars of Religion, expanding into Italy and the Holy Roman Empire, and leading the revolution through an expanded mission tree. Britain: A path must be taken, either for a British Empire or an Angevin Britain. Also, Great Britain includes deeper internal gameplay, with unique features for the English Parliament and changes to the English Civil War disaster. Smaller Nations: Mission changes, new governments, new government mechanics and increased play value for Prussia, Portugal and Korea.
Pre-orders receive a musical bonus. The release of the extension is planned for April 18, 2023 at a price of 19.99 euros.
