Hello everyone!
We're finally one week away from Europa Universalis IV: Wind of Change release!
The next Wednesday, May 8th, be ready to play with the Incan Empire, the Netherlands, the Timurids, and all the other countries we’ve added content on for this new expansion! Remember that you can pre-purchase it and receive an additional Music Pack with 3 songs to give an extra touch to your campaign with exploration and trade tones.
Meanwhile, we'll be hosting a Winds of Change Stream on our Discord server on Thursday, May 2nd at 13.00 CET, so be sure to check that out if you want to see any specific content of this expansion!
And just before the Release, the same day May 8th, we are going to be streaming on Twitch, to have a final recap of the content for Winds of Change and answer your questions. @PDX Foukos (our other new Embedded QA who recently finished the EU4 tutorial after a few thousand hours) and @Ryagi, our Community Ambassador, are going to be our champions representing Tinto.
But before that, let’s talk about today’s Dev Diary since we're sharing with you the changelog of the new update, 1.37 'Inca'. Tinto has aimed to deliver an incredible experience with this new update, focusing on expanding the Mission Trees and mechanics for 3 different regions of the world, as well as much more new content, art, and music created for Winds of Change.
