First Expansion for Europa Universalis IV Offers a New World to Conquer

[Reckall]

If I wanted to play a completely ahistoric world I would play Civ 5 tbh.

Brrrr... Civ 5... Brrrr...

The reason I play this game is to play historical games.

Are you aware that "historically" Europe hand't a clue about how the New World was shaped, inhabited, technologically andvanced or even if it was a New World at all, don't you?

If there is anything "unhistoric" in EU is the race for the Americas beginning with every European *player* possessing abnormally precise knowledge of what they will find (probably derived by Ancient Atlantean's Knowledge Tomes). This, if anything, is unhistorical. If it is historicity you pursue, then welcome to this new expansion.

I will only buy this if you guys add an achievement called "HUEHUEHUEHUE" somehow related to Brasil (I did not misspell...).

Something like "As Portugal, form Brazil, switch to the colony, break free and then proceed to conquer the entire new world" -> "HUE HUE HUE HUE" achievement unlocked!

Should it also play the sounds on hue hue hue .com? I'm not linking it because.. well. Google it and click it if you want. It's safe for work. Not safe for sanity. Kinda hypnotic, though..

A word of advice to paradox.Fix the damn bugs and multiplayer crashes before trying to apply "milk the cow".......

LOL, +1

I say that this should have come with the core game. Hell, why not have a button that randomizes the whole world? Depending on where you live, the rest of the world was new to you.

What would be a good amount of money to put away to buy this?

I need to do a slow process to get money from my hand/bank to steam, so I'd like to know how much to transfer now so it's ready to go when this is out.

I'd rather not put in a full $20 if this is only $5, but if I put in too little I need to add more and that takes forever.

So what'd be a good amount to put in?

Devs: Can you give me a maximum?

Players: What has been the cost of "big DLC" in CK2


Edit
I dug around CK2's Steam store. It seems the most expensive DLC is $14.99

I am assuming this one will therefore be $9.99 or $14.99 and thus will ensure I have $20 in my account just in case this happens to be the most expensive modern DLC.

...Sounds logical right?

What it was first announced, Johan said "Think along the lines of CK2 Old Gods.. about 15 euros". So yeah about $15.

Thanks

I'm going to throw $20 Canadian in (easier for me to do, even though that'll be like $19 US or less) and hope it's not $20 US!

Or hopefully at least not until you go change your clothes. (Though I'm hoping this is a mistaken use of the word literally )

Actually the Oxford English Dictionary added a definition for the word "literally" to mean "informal absolute" aka a metaphor.

The Randomised New World will not be compatible with CK2 converted saves when CoP is released. No word on whether it might be added later.

14th January Release date? Same day as my chemistry GCSE module. I hope I will not get too excited the days before that I will stop studying haha.

 

[HiddenXz]

Will have South American tribes too?

 

[Chieron]

No. They concentrated on colonies and North American tribes.

This irks me. I was expecting for the CK2 converter to be made obsolete at some point, but I kept hoping it wouldn't be. Paradox doesn't have the greatest track record supporting or fixing minor DLC, and considering I pay real world dubloons for those, this rubs me poorly. It also makes me disinclined to buy minor DLC.

I can't really think of a single reason why it should NOT work...

I can.

The converter creates a mod out of your CK2 game. This mod includes definitions of how the New World looks (identical to the EU4 start unless you have the Sunset Invasion DLC active in CK2 in which case there are two massive American empires with a Western-equivalent tech group).

The other new functions like the adjusted tribal mechanics and whatnot should still work, though whether the added American tribes will appear in a converted game or not I can't say.

It's answered on this same page of the thread!

About 15 euros, probably.
