The Greatest Powers Are Yours to Rule in EU4: Domination

Build the great empires of the early modern world in new ways with Europa Universalis IV: Domination, available today. The latest expansion pack for Paradox Interactive’s flagship historical grand strategy game adds a wagon-load of new choices, missions, and historical flavor to a game already bursting with endless possibilities.

Centered on the most popular and powerful nations in Europa Universalis IV, Domination revisits and revises once familiar pathways while adding more historical context and challenges to great nations like China, England, France and more. In some cases, branching missions will force you to make a choice that will irrevocably change the course of your nation, focusing your priorities in a particular direction.

Hello guys!

Please note that save games from 1.34 will NOT work well with 1.35, if at all.

If you wish to finish any ongoing 1.34 saves please lock your game to 1.34 immediately to prevent auto update to 1.35!

To prevent updating/rolling back to 1.34 -> Right click EU4 in your Steam library -> go to properties -> go to the betas section -> pick 1.34 in the dropdown list and let your game update.

When you wish to update you repeat the above steps, but you pick "none" in the dropdown list.

Apologies for the inconvenience caused, but it's unfortunately inevitable when certain updates are made to the game.

Me_ said: Huh? One of the reasons for fixing the map forever was to ensure the save game compatibility and yet it is not preserved in a DLC that adds just some missions and events.

It contains new government types and other things

Greetings!

Over the last few months we've been communicating Domination's features through a series of regular dev diaries. Considering the diversity of content being bundled up into this DLC, and in the interest of being more concise, we've summarized and assembled into this infographic new features included in EU4: Domination.

They say that no plan survives first contact with the enemy, but you’re different. You have the foresight to lay out a centuries long scheme to humble your enemies and write your own legend. The greatest empires in history are yours to command in Europa Universalis IV: Domination, a new expansion coming April 18, 2023.

In this add-on to Paradox Interactive’s flagship historical grand strategy game, you will experience new historical flavor and decisions for many of EU4’s most popular and powerful nations. New mission trees, historical government reforms, estate challenges and units add greater variety and, sometimes, tough choices as you must pick a path in a branching mission, entirely closing off some possible rewards.

The story of the early modern world is largely the story of imperial growth and colliding ambitions. England, France and Spain battle for power in a New World to fuel hegemony in the Old World. The established Ottomans are confronted by a new rising power in Russia. In Asia, the old Chinese and Japanese empires fight centuries of inertia in search of centralized authority. Now, in Europa Universalis IV: Domination, you can rediscover the histories of these great powers with updated historical detail.

Domination is a new expansion pack for Paradox Interactive’s classic grand strategy game about the rise and fall of empires from the Renaissance to the Age of Revolutions. In Domination, many of the most popular and powerful nations are getting updated mission trees and other historical details, in an add-on with true global reach and multiple new alternate histories.

sjobenrit said: is the 1.34.4 version on steam? I cant find it

No, since the difference between 1.34.4 and 1.34.5 is pretty much nothing we didn't see much reason to clutter the list with it. The only reason for this patch is to facilitate cross platform multiplayer with people on GOG, since you need to have the same version to be able to play MP.

For almost a decade, Europa Universalis IV has encouraged players to explore new and exciting alternate histories of the early modern world. In the newest immersion pack, Lions of the North, dramatically different pasts can unfold before your eyes. Denmark can keep its hold on its northern subjects. The Teutonic Order can retreat to its past crusader glories. Gotland can become a pirate haven.

All of these dramatic “what ifs” are now available in the new Baltic Sea themed add-on to Europa Universalis IV. With branching missions, new government options for major players and even new military units, Lions of the North is packed with variety and excitement. Make your enemies hear your roar!

As is customary with the release of new paid content, we also release a free update for all owners of the Europa Universalis IV base game containing bug fixes, QoL changes and some new content like a mission tree for Lübeck.

Greetings everyone!

Today we published our traditional Feature Highlight Video in which we do an overview of what's coming in Lions of the North and the free 1.34 Sweden update, respectively.



Also today, from 19:00 CEST, we celebrate the upcoming release by making the base game Europa Universalis IV free to play on Steam up until Thursday! So bring your friends in for some free EU4 gaming the coming days. And remember that if you play in multiplayer all players will have access to all DLC content owned by the host.

Don't miss this golden opportunity to have some EU4 fun with that friend that haven't yet gotten the game - and from tomorrow Wednesday you can also let them try out Lions of the North for free (along with all other DLC's owned by you)
