Hey everyone!

We are happy to belatedly present, hot off the Gutenberg Printing Press,
a Beginners Guide created by 2Coats, for our critically acclaimed empire building game Europa Universalis IV.

Europa Universalis IV Beginner Guide
EuropaUniversalisIV_Beginners Guide.pdf

Within it is a wealth of information specifically written for new players, detailing all manner of tips on how to begin your journey through four hundred years of historic themed; statesmanship, military conflicts, trading and economic toil, diplomatic posturing, technological and philosophical research, religious turmoil, exploration and colonization.

As you begin your journey to lead your chosen nation in becoming the greatest empire ever seen or just surviving as a small fish in a big pond, you must decide; what sort of game you may wish to play, the goals you should set for yourself, the resources and assets at your disposal, the actions you can take and on which screens and windows you can take them from, as well as getting up to speed on how the core elements of gameplay function.

Just remember that to 'Fulfill your quest for global domination' takes small steps at least in the beginning!
For while it is said great leaders are not made, they are born, here we believe that great leaders need encouragement as they take their first steps.

Cheers,
regina

Page 7 of the Beginner's Guide again refers to the Strategy Guide. Is there a Strategy Guide? Where can we find it?

The strategy guide was mentioned as one of the bonuses to one of the DLCs. It hasn't yet surfaced though and I'm also very interested in it.
