Update News
Europa Universalis IV Cossacks Releases
December 1, in the year of our Lord 2015 --
The day has come! Europa Universalis IV: The Cossacks has
arrived on digital storefronts around the world, bringing not
just hosts of invaders and rebels, but a pile of new features,
mechanics and improvements to the strategy game from Paradox
Development Studio!
We are also revealing a new feature that will let you track your
performance against your own history and against other players
around the world. The Leaderboard will record any game score you
achieve in Ironman mode (where you can earn achievements) so
long as you are logged in to your Paradox Account and have a
forum registration.
Watch your scores improve as you learn the game, or as you move
from country to country, strategy to strategy. Can you beat our
development team at their own game?
But even if you have no interest in playing Ironman and proving
that you are the Grandest Strategist in All the Lands, The
Cossacks gives you many new options in domestic and
international strategy, all designed to flesh out the rich
history of the early modern world:
- The Estates: Allocate lands to clergy, nobles and merchants as
you try to balance the powers in your Renaissance state.
- Advanced diplomatic options: Threaten war, trade favors, and
tell the world which provinces are of strategic importance in
your plans
- Tengri: Tengri is now a Syncretic faith, allowing it to
tolerate a secondary religion as if it were a national faith.
- Horde Unity and Razing: Nomadic nations now must pay attention
the horde unity of their tribes – a unity that can only be
maintained by the occasional pillaging
- Improved Culture Change: You can now restore a previous
culture to a converted province, or convert a province you hold
to a culture that is not your own.
- Native Policies: Set your policy for colonial encounters with
natives. Are you focused on quick subjugation, peaceful growth
or trading advantages?
- Improved Espionage: New spy actions allow you to study the
technology of more advanced countries and prod your rivals’
subjects towards independence.
