Common Sense Expansion Brings Major Changes

STOCKHOLM – June 9, 2015 –
The Common Sense expansion to Paradox’s strategy hit Europa Universalis IV is available today, and it comes with tonnes of major changes to the core game, making it one of the most significant pieces of DLC yet in the EU4 franchise. With a focus on making your nation work better, Common Sense gives you new tools to make sure your global empire rests on a sound foundation.

Central to Common Sense is the idea of Development – your provinces are now more than an all powerful tax number. You can improve your regions based on tax, trade and military power specifically, giving each a focus or strength. Or, you can develop broadly to prevent crushing losses when a center of manpower falls to the enemy.

We’re also introducing Parliaments, allowing constitutional systems of government new ways to put the power of the people’s representatives to work on behalf of the nation – for a price.

There are a host of other changes to the game, including improvements to the Protestant religion, the creation of national churches, karma for Buddhist rulers and much, much more. And even if you don’t buy the expansion, the free update we provide with every new expansion will transform your play experience in interesting ways. This time, we have modified the role of forts in battle and shaken up the map and diplomatic situation in the 1444 start date.

Common Sense is available at major digital retailers now! Become the king (or doge, or empress or khan) you have always wanted to be.

So if I buy the "Europa Universalis IV: Common Sense Collection" Will that be the main Expansion and all 4 Sprite packs, but neither the Music DLC nor the e-book are included in that right?
Asking because the "Collection" is cheaper then buying the Expansion and "Content Pack" and want to make sure I get everything.

This is so much more complicated then prior expansions where you just listed everything under the DLC tab on the EU4 store page. None of the minor dlc is even linked there this time.
EDIT: Never mind that last line, guess it just took a bit to propagate to the DLC list on the store page.

Right. The collection includes the base game and the content pack. The book and the music pack is sold separately (batteries not included).

Right. The collection includes the base game and the content pack. The book and the music pack is sold separately (batteries not included).

What's the music DLC even called, I haven't found it yet. You should include a list of all the DLC and a description of the Content Pack and the CS Collection in here to avoid all the confusion that's going on right now.

Agreed. I daresay I'll find it later by running down all the dlc, but way to encourage impulse sales, Paradox. :oops:

Copy-pasted from this thread:

This is what the different packages contain:
EU4: Common Sense - Includes common sense (which makes sense ;) )
EU4: Common Sense Content Pack - Includes the minor DLCs (Unit packs etc)
EU4: Common Sense Collection - Includes the expansion + Content Pack
The Book and the msuic pack is sold seperatley
(Batteries not included)

making a general FAQ about all of this and sticking to the forum.

"This expansion’s focus on Central America and South America introduces new religions whilst impactful theaters of exploration will challenge you with new decisions worthy of a king or conqueror. It's an expansion to thank the gods for." is written when you click to buy the common sense collection. By the way why is it more expensive here than steam?

Why is the pack a little more expensive at the Paradox shop than on Steam? You would think that since they get more revenue out of it, the price would be at least, the same.
