- All single player capabilities as well as an extensive tutorial and hint-system are included in this demo.
- There are no multiplayer capabilities, and please note that the ability to save & load have been disabled.
- English only and Windows only.

Trade/Venice
Venice was a prominent Italian Free City and played an important role in Mediterranean trade. Their fleet was important for gaining dominance over the Mediterranean Sea and securing the spice trade from India. Venice is a good choice for playing the trading game and seizing trade opportunities in the Mediterranean.

Warfare/The Ottoman Empire
The Ottoman Empire was a major power up to its fall in 1922. The Ottomans dominated land from the Balkans to the Arabian Peninsula. In Europa Universalis IV they are a strong choice for playing a warmonger game because of their cheaper coring costs and powerful early troops.

Colonization/Portugal
Portugal is a natural choice for exploring the colonization part of the game. The nation was important in the exploration of the coast of Africa and the New World. Portugal lies isolated in the western part of the Iberian Peninsula and lacks natural enemies. As long as they keep good relations with Castile they should be able to peacefully explore and colonize.

Diplomacy/Austria
Austria was a major power through the renaissance and up to World War I. The Habsburg family ruled Austria and controlled the Holy Roman Empire for a large part of its existence. Diplomacy is important for keeping the title of Holy Roman Emperor, as it is an elective title. Keeping good relations with the electors will greatly improve your chances of keeping the crown. Austria is a strong choice for a diplomatic game because of their inclination towards holding the title of Emperor.

Is there a Demo for Mac? When I click on download it says "Europa Universalis IV Demo is not available for your current platform".

 

Devs confirmed that there will not be a Mac demo. At least no time soon.

 

When I click on "Download Demo" it doesn't do anything. Why? :/
EDIT:It works now!

 

No, sorry, it´s windows only

 

Oh yes, thank you Paradox!

 

Praise the gods!!!!!

 

Best thing eva! Expect full EU 4 is the best.

 

yay il consider this my wedding gift

 

South Georgia Island shows on the map as province called Falklands?

also, when did Kaffa become Turkish speaking?

 

Can you mod the Demo at all?

 

As most of the files are text files, you can. However, if you mod yourself to be England, it will be game-over (Someone else already tried that)

 

Ah perfect, just curious before i try to edit any files.

 

There must be a way!!

 

Downloading now. This is great! Four times 28 years to mess around with the game mechanics.
Of course, it will make waiting until tuesday even more difficult.

 

Didnt expect that, very excited since I kept myself away from following most changes to explore them when game is released, but cant resist to at least start game to check out tutorials and visuals.

 

When we get the full game, will our demo savegames be loadable in the full one? I.e., can I get a 28-year start on my Portugal now, or will I have to restart it on Tuesday?

Edit: Oh, "the ability to save and load has been disabled". Never mind. (That's incredibly lame, you know...)

 

Just finish a game with Portugal. Game si same and different at same time! Still pretty good! Can you release already?!

 

Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Theres an issue with mine sadly , it appears terra incognita is reversed I can see all of asia but none of europe,also big black chunks have taken a liking in appearing over the map.Some in the shape of cuba
please try to help me please. Hopefully this won't appear in the final game.
