time to update the "Converter" section :laugh:

And much more But I'm not sure how long I'm going to update the thread and how useful it still will be with the video-content by quill18 and the upcoming Beta-AARs.

Hi,

I have been searching everywhere for whether or not the game will feature stand-alone dedicated servers. Aside from a few off-hand comments in the forums (things like "I think I remember...") this is the only thread that seems to confirm the feature. Could you please post or PM me the source of that? I would love to be completely certain. I have a spare PC sitting around and I'd love to use it to host some EU4 games.

Thank you,
Raptor

Of course, Developer Diary 32 Multiplayer

Standalone Server
As is the case with all serious multiplayer games, EU4 comes with the option for standalone servers. This program allows you to run an instance of EU4 that is simply a server of game-mechanics with no graphical interface, or player playing on it.

This server can, of course, be configured to be password protected and whether it should be visible to the matchmaking servers or not. What makes it more flexible is that you can define who can play certain countries or if only a set of countries is available or not. You can set the names for your saved games and the frequency of the autosave from this file.

You can also set your server to boot up the lobby at a certain time, and then start at another time, and finally end at a certain other set time. When it reaches its endtime, the game will also be saved to the set filename. This allows you to schedule games with precision.

You can also set the start date for the game and give it permission to pause if there are no human players currently active in the game.

Our goal is to have a few servers running constantly for people to join in, to play a country for an hour or two, to have the fun and crazy experiences that multiplayer veterans have become familiar with.

Thx in advance.

There should be, I'm surprised it's not in the list as the dev diaries regarding this to nations are quite old.

France
England

But as those are old, some things probablly changed, for England you could look into the videos by quill18

By the way, I removed the Nation-Specific section, the length of the post already had displaying problems and most of the info is alread integrated in the eu4 wiki, which is better suited for this kind of information.

Missing Requirement

System requirements (from the manual):

Interesting, and thanks.
It is curious though, you do not mention that activation requires using Steam.
I wonder that if so, are the ads I see for the product in error?
