Europa Universalis IV Mare Nostrum Now Available
April 5, in the year of our Lord 2016 --
Command the Seas and Control the Trade in Mare Nostrum. New
Expansion to Europa Universalis IV Now Out. Your nation has long
been at one with the sea. Salt water runs through the veins of
your sailors, and no sound is as stirring as that of the wind
whipping a top-sail just before the full gale arrives. The sea
lanes hold the wealth of the East. Heave ho, and set sail for
profit.
Mare Nostrum is the newest expansion DLC for Europa Universalis
IV, Paradox Development Studio’s best-selling grand strategy
game set in the adventurous days of the Age of Exploration, the
Renaissance and the wars of Reformation and Revolution. Mare
Nostrum adds a number of improvements and updates to the game,
bringing more control and detail to the naval game.
Features include:
• Naval Missions: Naval interface improved to make control of
your fleets less hands-on and more mission oriented
• Barbary Raids: The Berber nations of North Africa can raid
their neighbors for money and extra sailors
• New Espionage System: Build a spy network and call on it to
undertake actions in enemy lands
• Trade Leagues: Merchant republics can recruit minor nations
into their Trade League for common defence and, more
importantly, common riches
• Condottieri: Rent out your army so it can fight someone else’s
wars while you earn gold
And, as always, the expansion DLC is accompanied by a massive
update that is free to download to every Europa Universalis IV
player – even if they never buy Mare Nostrum. This update will
include an updated map, a new state system to organize your
nation, tweaks to naval combat and the introduction of sailors
to man your ships.
Mare Nostrum is available from major digital retailers for
$14.99. No word on a physical copy version of this game at this
time. Families are required to pay the Internet usage fees to
download this game.
