Today, August 13th of 2023, Marks the 10th Anniversary day of Europa Universalis IV. To look back on how we got here, we invite you to join long time GSG Developer and Studio Manager of Paradox Tinto Johan Andersson as he reflects on the last 10 years.

Please enjoy this retrospective from him below:
Today it is 10 years ago since we released EU4, back on August 13th of 2023. I guess it's a sign that you are getting old that you can write posts like this.

Back in the early autumn of 2011, PDS was much smaller, I was still the studio manager, and we had 1 full team led by Henrik ‘Doomdark’ Fåhraeus working on CK2, while a smaller team with Dan ‘podcat’ Lind and 2 other people was doing expansions for HoI3 and V2. Paradox France, which was a small subsidiary with 2 employees, was working on “March of the Eagles” with support from Olof ‘Birken’ Björk.

I remember this as a time when we had lots of experience, with some of us doing these games for a ... Read more

A full engine update is exceedingly unlikely for EUIV. Such a process would essentially require porting and remaking soooo many things. That being said minor optimizations here and there are always ongoing at least.

That's just a moderator, and he is relatively new after years of languishing in silence.

As for EGS vs Steam, they are the same. Steam "licenses" games to you, you don't own them. And Steam is almost as much bloatware as EGS these days. So overall, just take the w with the free game. Oh I'm sorry, free LICENSE.

Actually I am on the Community team! So, yesn't. Basicall... Read more

Originally posted by Medicles: They did mention after Leviathan, that they wanted to focus the next immersion packs on Scandinavia, Middle-East and South America. We got Scandinavia. We didnt get Middle-East, though i guess it happened because of the extreme mission trees that Lion of the North introduced and they wanted to bring major nations on par with first, So the next should either be Middle-East or South America.

Next we will see Mamluks and Persia get some love, I'll leave everyone to speculate who else might be lumped in with them ;p

Keep in mind crossplay works as well :steamthumbsup:

So if a friend or anyone would like to try EU4 you can share all DLC with them whenever you play together, so long as the host has DLC. Steam subscription counts too.

Europa Universalis IV is turning 10 this month, and we’re celebrating with some small community activities! Please note that there will be no major gameplay updates, but you can expect some giveaways and other exciting things.

Today for instance, we want to announce that we now have an official EU IV Displate store[pdxint.at]! For those inclined towards some classy merch, these high quality metal posters featuring iconic EUIV art can now finally be yours. (is it truly a battle station without paintings of history’s most famous leaders?)

Check it out here: https://pdxint.at/3qbFXVG

We are also giving away 9 free EUIV Displate posts across our ... Read more

Folks this isn't the appropriate place to talk about modern and sensitive real world topics. Beyond the deleted posts, if further discussion continues we'll be locking this thread.

Apologies for the inconvenience everyone else.

Hey all! Today's Mod Spotlight features pretty art and pretty numbers.

Ages Reformed adds a plethora of well-thought-out age objectives and abilities. And, it conveniently plays nice with other popular mods too! we're excited to have MDoulos share it with you.

Hello Everyone,

I am MDoulos, the creator of Ages Reformed, a mod that completely overhauls and improves the age mechanic that was introduced in Mandate of Heaven. Welcome to the mod spotlight for the mod that adds several small but very meaningful mechanics to the ages feature. If you aren't already using Ages Reformed, I appreciate that you're giving me the opportunity to convince you to try. :)

In this mod spotlight, I’d like to talk about the important features which help improve your gameplay experience. I’ll also briefly mention some of the unimportant features which were created with love, just because they’re cool. So let’s go!

Greetings, and welcome everyone to the last Dev Diary of the Domination cycle! We’ve been active in the forums and receiving your feedback about this expansion and the 1.35 ‘Ottomans’ update for almost 7 months, and now it is time to retire for a well-deserved Summer break.

First is first, on June 20th we released the 1.35.4[forum.paradoxplaza.com] patch, and on June 27th and July 4th the 1.35.5[forum.paradoxplaza.com] and ... Read more

Have you tried on a new save on version 1.35.5 or later? There might be some issues with the patch retroactively fixing old saves but anything from 1.35.5 onward should be working as intended.

If things are not working properly do please report on our bug report forum [pdxint.at] with as much detail as possible so we can have a look :) Thanks, appreciate your time and patience.
