Good morning all, and welcome to a special Weekend Dev Diary for Europa Universalis IV.

We noticed a lot of feedback in the previous dev diary that people were keen to know what direction EUIV is taking going forward from Rule Britannia. For various reasons, we do not immediately reveal what the focus of the following expansion and accompanying patch will be, but in the face of such overwhelming feedback, we've decided that this time we shall spill the beans early

Europa Universalis IV: Breweries of the World is currently in development with heavy focus on the nations and regions which have contributed most to global society with their various tipples. Focus regions in the 1.26 Champagne Update will be:

  • Ireland - Some new provinces and special "Guinness" province modifiers
  • Scotland - Special trade mechanics specifically with the flow of Whisky
  • Bavaria - "Purity" laws can be passed to strengthen your government and grants new Reinheitsgebot CB on inferior producers.
  • Belgium - When Hoegaarden desire grows too high, Belgium will spawn and fight a bloody war of independence.
  • Mexico - Colonial nations in Mexico can be pacified by allowing them to keep their own Corona, although high tariffs can lead to a standoff between master and colony.
The release date of Breweries of the World is currently TBA but upon release, we ask that you all game responsibly.

Severely disappointed by the lack of three-button mechanic and additional stuff for the Ottomans.

Come on, Jake. You can do better than this.

I unironically like this.
 
In all seriousness will the beer icon be added to the game? It'd be nice to have if anyone did want to add diet wine to the game.
 
I have coped with Hussite traditions and wagenburgs being represented so underwhelmingly in the game.
But Bohemia not being amongst main focuses of Breweries patch? That's it Paradox, you've made my list.
 
Hoegaarden? Of all the Belgian beers... :-(
People have heard of Hoegaarden. I'm a great fan of Brasserie-Brouwerij Cantillon's "Rose de Gambrinus", but it's kind of obscure :)
 
It had to be a joke if you mention Belgium and then Hoegaarden as a beer: what about our lovely trappist beers?

Karmeliet all the way, though.
 
This would be better than the last DLC tbh

At least the new trade good would not be restricted to one Age

>Paradox gives industrialization mechanics.
>"It's limited to one age, it sucks!"

Can't please everyone, it seems.
 
Real talk: Belgium could be in the game, but only formable by Burgundy, replacing their decision to form the Netherlands. It would honestly make more sense for Burgundy and they could have the same requirement of giving up their land to France.
