Hej allesamen! Welcome to our next Development Diary for Europa Universalis IV! After covering the Baltics it is finally time to switch our focus to Scandinavia, so let’s get started!

As the 13th century drew to a close, powerful social mechanisms such as feudalism and manorialism had formed deep roots in the Danish Court. At the same time, the Christian church had, at that point, come to dominate religious matters all across the Scandinavian region. At home, the royal family, spearheaded by Margaret I, would finally place a singular dynastic head on each of the three lions’ thrones, during the last years of the 14th century.

As of the treaty of Kalmar in 1397 the Nordic Crowns of Norway, Sweden and Denmark are intended to be borne by one monarch. Since its inception this Kalmar Union has been led by the Danes, the strongest and richest of the Nordic powers, close to the continent with an ambition to control and dominate the Baltic Sea area.

Hello everyone, Gnivom here today.

I may return for a future dev diary on the many AI improvements we’re making for 1.34, but today’s topic is Land Combat.

First a recap:

For 1.33, we decided to change some things with combat; first mentioned in this January DD[forum.paradoxplaza.com] and soon amended by making backrow regiments take 60% less morale damage. The core idea was to remove some weird traps that uninitiated players (I would guess a majority) and the AI (without major modifications) would easily fall for.

Not to diminish the value of people's reviews - but they are usually based on very specific things. Broken save files with an update is a common reason for bad reviews. A bug introduced with the update (and probably/hopefully patched away by now).

Or it is one specific change in the update they didn't like - which might play differently now. The point is that the bad reviews are usually not relating to how important owning that specific expansion is to the overall experience today.

We are aware of the quite steep entry cost - which is why we introduced the subscription option for €5 / month to make it a bit more affordable (up front at least) to try out the full EU4 experience.

I hope you will enjoy the game!

Hi!

Just as a reminder - you have the subscription for €5/month where all extra content is included if you want to try the game for a smaller up front cost.

I hope you'll enjoy the game regardless of which one you pick :)
