A hundred and fifty million souls speaking dozens of languages stand between European traders and unimaginable wealth. Diplomacy, war and subterfuge will be used on both sides to either preserve the power of the Mughal emperor and his dependents or to undermine that throne. Unite the Indian people, or divide and conquer. You write the history in Europa Universalis IV: Dharma.

Dharma is the newest expansion for Europa Universalis IV, Paradox Development Studio’s best selling history strategy game about the early modern era. Dharma puts greater emphasis on peacetime interactions, especially for the varied nations of India and those colonial powers who want to make their fortune in Asia. This government design feature is the most significant change in Dharma, with some exclusive reforms for many nations.

In Dharma, players will find a new level of customization for their governments, since not every monarchy should be the same! Design a kingdom or republic with new reforms and upgrades as the balance of priorities shifts around you.


Features in Europa Universalis IV: Dharma include:
  • Design Your Government: Unlock reforms that will define how you govern your kingdom or republic, earning free policies and boosting the power of some estates.
  • Reworked Policy System: Policies get a new look in the free update, but Dharma will include special bonuses that make this system even more attractive.
  • Trade Company Investments: Upgrade and improve the provinces tied to your trade companies, conferring bonuses both to the European master and neighboring Indian nations.
  • New Cossack Government: Exclusive for owners of The Cossacks expansion.
  • New Indian Mission Trees: Unique mission paths for the most important Indian sultanates and kingdoms.
  • New Indian Estates: Alongside a free update to the estate system, India gets five new castes. Raise the brahmins to reduce unrest in a province or install Jain governors for a boost to income while reducing manpower..
  • New Mughal Culture Bonus: The Mughal Empire can assimilate and accommodate newly conquered cultures with ease.
  • Charter Companies: Europeans can buy a foothold into trade charter zones in Africa and Asia, if they can find a prince that trusts them.
  • Upgraded Trade Centers: Invest in the development of your Centers of Trade
  • And more, including: new ways to suppress rebellion, the monsoon season, new uses for colonists in non-colonial development, scornful insults, multiplayer teams, new art, and a host of new achievements.

As usual, Europa Universalis IV: Dharma will be accompanied by a free update for all Europa Universalis IV players, including a major reworking of the game’s map of India, Tibet and Burma.

Europa Universalis IV: Dharma will be available later this year for a suggested retail price of $19,99.

Thanks :)
 
Finally, we can get more immersive gameplay for Europeans! Fighting your estates and interacting in different ways with them is something I would like to see.

Otherwise, this seems like the best DLC since MoH. Fantastic work, @Groogy !

THIS LOOKS AMAZING!

To be honest, I wasn't so involved into this DLC, but now I'm really hyped.
 
Increase development in colonial nations, or trade company/non-core lands? Maybe using some variation of the current % settler chance mechanic?
I think it's for non colonisers, so would need to be local land too. What I'm thinking it might be a chance to have your development rise from a province with a colonist in to represent claiming new land either from the sea or from cutting down forests, removing moors, etc.

Yes but do they have a flag?
 
its gonna be culture shift and adding development, as trialled by various mods
Culture shifts really shouldn't be made easier.
Aside from the New World, where much of the native populations died from diseases, cultures didn't really change much IRL. You couldn't just conquer a new area and then a few yeras later easily make the population your culture.
