Here's a link to some intermediate info regarding how trade works.Įh, the wikipedia page is saying you can play through 1820 and the game ends at the start of 1821. The developers have close relations with many of the more prolific modders and regular contact/consulting/help occurs. You can expect very high quality modding work to be available in a relatively short time if that's your bag. Most all of their titles are built with modding in mind and the modding community for their games is second-to-none in my opinion. There are a couple of preorder bonuses if you're so inclined including a free title from PI - Crusader Kings 2 (Steam key, tradable but not marketable) and a CK2 to EU4 save game converter so you can play from the late 800s all the way to the early 1800s. Games such as these can have a steep learning curve but the payoff is worth the bit of effort up front and PI has done decent work of late on better their tutorial systems. I've been a fan of Paradox titles for years and a semi-active member of their forums - which really aren't that bad at all considering some game forums out there. The game span over hundreds years, starting on Novem(after the battle of Varna) into the early 19th century I believe possibly 1830s? You play as a country (kingdom, khanate, little one-province fife, etc.) and control many facets of your military, economy and trade, internal development and politics and so forth as befits a grand strategy title.

EU4 is releasing on the 13th of this month, is available on Steam (or Steam keys from a couple other places like ) and will be playable on PC, Mac and Linux on day 1. PI has come a long way in making their games more accessible to the masses a larger group of people than they were originally made for back in the days of EU2 or the original Vicky and CK. You don't have to be a grognard to enjoy this title either. It's another grand strategy game developed by Paradox Development Studio and published by Paradox Interactive. Here is a link directly to their forum for the game. I couldn't find a thread on this specifically yet so, since we're a week away from kickoff, I thought I'd start us off.
