Europa Universalis IV: Rights of Man Announced

[BjornB]

Today, Paradox Interactive and Paradox Development Studio announced the next expansion for their hit grand strategy game Europa Universalis IV.

Thomas Paine wrote that laws get their force from the consent of those who agree to live under them. It is in this spirit of that Paradox Development Studio continues expand and improve Europa Universalis IV, with the upcoming Rights of Man.

This expansion to Paradox Development Studio’s best-selling historical strategy game introduces a number of small changes that add up to a deeper and more dynamic experience. Near the top of this list is the Great Power mechanic, where the most developed nations have access to new diplomatic options to bully or entice weaker neighbors. Keep that development going, or lose the powers you paid a high price for.

Rights of Man also adds a little more character to your monarchs, as they acquire traits that will give bonuses (or penalties) to your country, and affect how rival nations approach you. Beware the conqueror next door, but be nice to the generous king across the river - he may have some gold to spare in your time of need.

Other features coming in Rights of Man include:

• New goals for Coptic and Fetishist religions
• Greater control over adopting new cultures in your empire
• Leader Traits giving battle hardened commanders added prowess
• More detailed military instructions for Subject Nations
• Revolutionary Republics now have Factions to balance
• Ottoman Empire gets new Harem Politics events and options
• AND MUCH MUCH MORE

As usual, the release of Rights of Man will be accompanied by a free update for all Europa Universalis IV players – and this one will have the first major overhaul of the technology system since launch.

EDIT! The "Greater control over adopting new cultures in your empire" snuck into the paid content section. This is, as previously stated, a free feature included in the patch. Sorry for the confusion.

@BjornB Wasn't the culture stuff free?

Yeah! Sorry for the confusion.

@BjornB title is about Rights of Man as human being or Rights of man as male?

If it was referring to the gender it would be "Rights of Men" if I'm not mistaken

@BjornB

just pls make sure that the same guy writes announcements in both forum and website. you can copy one of your announcement.

What do you mean?

I see the comet event is no longer always -1 stability...

That's only for scholar rulers though it also makes the event less likely to show up in the first place.

 

[Trin Tragula]

How does that make sense though? It has never been your ruler not getting it; it has always been the peasants getting scared when the comet came so how does your ruler being a scholar make the peasants less scared? Do they finally listen when you tell them not to look at the sky?

Pretty much. Also it is assumed the things they think they see in the sky aren't always really comets. Only a real comet will interest your scholar.
