Developer Diary - The Mamluks

Post
Good afternoon and welcome to today’s Developer Diary where we will be discussing new content for the Mamluks! As a preface, there is merit in addressing the design approach I chose to pursue for this country. Domination and its huge amounts of content served as a great platform to gauge what the people wanted, what they liked and disliked. This helped shape the content for 1.36 moving forward, as the entire team takes feedback very seriously and our ears are keenly tuned to the forums and various platforms for it.

How does this affect the content of the Mamluks? For starters, the entirety of the Mamluk tree hosts only 2 new country_modifiers, one temporary and one permanent (more on that later). The idea behind this shift is to give more room to mechanic-related bonuses over pure modifier stacking. So, missions for the Mamluks have been designed from the ground up as a way of investing more effort into slower and natural growth for the country. Moreover, the tree was conceive... Read more

It's going to be interesting to see how they are capable of making that sector interesting.

Luckily I would love to play as Mamluk, I will check it out when it's released.

You'll be able to see what we having cooking for Mamluks in next weeks Dev Diary :D

Originally posted by High Society: didnt know this was comming, on the surface seems like a smaller one but I love to seem more flavour in this region.

For sure smaller than something like Domination, this is a region based immersion pack, similar to our previous immersion packs such as Lions of the North. This time focusing on the middle east :steamthumbsup:

Developer Diary - King of Kings announcement & Persia

Post
Hello everyone, and welcome back to EUIV Dev Diaries! It’s been a while since the last one, but we come with renewed enthusiasm and energy, especially after having celebrated the 10th Anniversary of the game. It’s been great to notice how big and strong the community is after a decade, and we’re very glad about the reception of the different activities that the CM Team has been deploying in the last month. Kudos to them, as well!

During the summer we’ve also been busy planning, designing, and implementing new content for the game. We still have a bunch of ideas even after the massive amount of content that was added in EUIV: Domination, and we think that we can keep improving the game, even after its longevity. Our objective for the next update will be to further raise the quality of the game while finishing fixing and balancing the post-release issues from 1.35.

In that regard, the topic of the next DLC will be new regional content. And the region that will re... Read more

Community Mod Spotlight - Anbennar Pt. 1

Post


Hello EU4 community, and welcome to the first Anbennar Mod Spotlight!
Today, JayBean, the creator of Anbennar and Lead Writer Karlov will be introducing you to the Anbennar EU4 mod and the Anbennar setting as a whole as part of EU4’s 10th birthday celebration in this first of a two-part series.

We'll let JayBean and Karlov take it away:

-----------
Anbennar is a fantasy total conversion mod set in an original setting inspired by D&D settings like Forgotten Realms as well as settings like Dragon Age and The Witcher. But first, let’s begin with a question:

Have you ever wanted to see how a fantasy world evolves PAST the medieval era?
How wizards react to the advent of gunpowder?
Or what if colonial exploration actually unearthed relics of immense magical power?

Anbennar is all about exploring those themes ... Read more

10 years of EUIV

Post
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

Outdated Engine

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.

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.

Central & South America really needs some love.

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.

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.

Hey y’all, Chewy here. Today I am happy to share my labor of love for the modding community, Land of the Free, a mod that completely overhauls the USA.

The mod adds a massive amount of content in North America, and a bit to England. The “new world” content includes (but is not limited to):

Hi there! This sounds like a technical error, sorry to hear about it, sounds rather annoying.

I would suggest posting about it in our Tech support forums [forum.paradoxplaza.com] where you may find a potential solution.

Happy to hear you are trying out the game :)

We have a PDX Discord [discord.gg] if you're looking for a more interactive way to learn the game and have other players help you.

We also have a player resources hub [forum.paradoxplaza.com] that I can recommend. Some of the guides there might be of interest to you, but I can't say all of them don't fall into the trap you describe haha.

Discussion threads like these are also a valid way to learn about the game. Either way hope you have fun with that learning process.

Hope you enjoy the game!

It can be a bit intimidating at first but asking your questions here, or the PDX Discord [discord.gg] is welcome.

We also have a player resources hub [forum.paradoxplaza.com] that I can recommend.

Remember to have fun in the learning process :) Many players have hundreds or thousands of hours and still learn new things.
