Europa Universalis IV: Emperor Available Today

[BjornB]

STOCKHOLM - 09 June 2020 - Power for the sake of power is empty. No truly great ruler seeks a legacy of selfish adoration. Do it to raise the people. Do it to shield the faith. Do it to preserve centuries of tradition. Rule as the Emperor to rewrite history and remake the world. Rule in Europa Universalis IV: Emperor.

Emperor is the latest expansion to Paradox Development Studio’s flagship series, Europa Universalis IV. This add-on to the best-selling grand strategy game about the Early Modern world returns its focus to Europe, with changes and additions to game concepts familiar to players. The Catholic Church is given new energy, the Holy Roman Empire is more interactive and Revolutions spread from hotbeds of discontent.

Features of Europa Universalis IV: Emperor include:

• A Powerful Pope: Appoint cardinals, publish Papal Bulls and gather tithes. The Vatican and Papal Controller now have new abilities to sway the souls of Christendom.
• New Holy Roman Empire Systems: Imperial Incidents provide new challenges to the Emperor's power and authority. Will your empire follow a course to a centralized monarchy or decentralized federation?
• Revolutions Revamped: The spirit of Revolution is a contagion that must be either embraced or vigorously opposed. Use the zeal of revolutionary guard units to fight reactionaries at home and abroad.
• The Hussite Faith: Bohemia has an early game chance to embrace heresy and stand alone against the Pope until The Reformation.
• Hegemonies: Seize the mantle of global leadership if you accumulate great wealth and armies, but be prepared to face great opposition from those who question your right to rule.
• New Missions: Over 20 new unique mission trees for a variety of European nations
• Defender of Faith: With great responsibility comes great power. Defending a major religion should be different from defending an insignificant one. Now it is!
• The Council of Trent and Counter-Reformation: Join other Catholic rulers to slow down the spread of the Reformation by making concessions to the unruly mob or harshly imposing the will of God.
• Provoke Rebellions: Risk a larger rebellion now while you think you can manage it instead of waiting for discontent to take its course

As is customary, Emperor is released alongside a major update to Europa Universalis IV, freely available to all players. This update makes changes to the game map, how estates work, mercenary recruitment and much more.

Europa Universalis IV: Emperor is now available at the Paradox store and major online retail outlets for the suggested retail price of $19.99/ £15.49/ €19.99.

There seems to be some issue with Steam where it still says pre-order. We're working on finding out why

Hold on, for how long you've been playing Emperor? Or, in another words, how does one enact Revolutionary Empire in two hours of gameplay?

But it just falsely says "preorder", right? If I buy it now, I actually get the content?

There are different start dates, don't forget He probably started in the later ones.

I'm not able to raise tribe host regiments as Horde, previously via the estate interactions. Only +20% man power. Fail. After one year. Fail.

The content pack doesn't show up in the Steam store, I had to enter the title manually in the search to have it displayed.

Yeah, £21 for an expansion that was in development for at least 18 months. Disgusting. How dare PDX want to be compensated for their hard work and continued support of a 7 year old title?

I mean damn, you don't HAVE to buy it.

There are a few tracks in the content pack.

 

[Grzegorz Grzybek]

Thanks - I didn't notice. I've preordered Emperor and there was no content pack at that time... (Or maybe I didn't check?)
