“Several” Europa Universalis IV expansions planned, one by the end of 2013

[Regina]

You might already have seen this one, but here goes

"Johan Andersson, studio manager of Paradox Development Studio, has told IncGamers that there are “several larger expansions” planned for grand strategy title Europa Universalis IV.
The first of these is scheduled for release before the end of 2013 and is said to be “roughly” the same size and scope as ‘The Old Gods’ from Crusader Kings II."

"In the more immediate future, the game will be getting further patches. Patch 1.3 will “hopefully” be released later this month or in early November. "

Now *this* is interesting... 1399 start?

Didn't see this, so thanks for the information.

Glad to help and I promise, more info coming soon

Yay, more things!

Nice!

More 'improvements for the AI'? Will it be able to save & load by any chance?

Hoping for a timeline extension to take EUIV up to the 1900's. That would be bloody sweet if not unlikely. I can dream.

Mmmmh, don't think so. While they can and do, from time to time, overlap games slightly, that would devour Victoria II - which is a MUCH better game for the period. One could argue that should be V2, the one running backwards a fair bit.

Nice to hear.
TOG was a pretty big expansion for CK2, which makes me more curious than a curious squid about this new EUIV expansion. I wonder what it's about.

1399 start?. It would be nice. I always liked the 1399 start more than the mid XV century one. Anyway, dynamic nodes would be even better, but I am afraid that would be too much

Could you pretty please fix the game before releasing expansions? That would be really nice, you know. There's enough bugs and balance issue already to introduce new ones.

Please no earlier start dates. The MP games are already suffering from too early starts.

1444 is early enough, making the default earlier just makes the game even more skewed with early conquest and colonization.

As the article said, we are absolutely working on patching the game!

There will be a 1.3 patch released together with that expansion. Hopefully it will resolve at least some of the bugs and balance issues.

The picture in the article suggests that we could have full 3D...

Come on it's Paradox, they have unbalanced buggy game at first (though since CK2 it's pretty good now), but they always fixed it given enough time. That's the only company I know about that continue to push patch years after release.

Third party title are often less good (SoS2 I am looking at you).

“Europa Universalis IV will always be a historical strategy game. We might look to explore alternate history for the game, but we will most likely focus on plausible alternate history,”

Pfff... I want a Trex attacking the settlers going in Americas

Thanks for posting it here. And please continue to post information here at the same time as in other places. Not everybody likes this social media stuff. This forum is the heart of the community.
