Europa Universalis IV: Dharma DLC focuses on the Indian subcontinent, presenting players with a pack of new regions, playable nations, mission trees and interesting mechanics related to this area.
One of the expansion's highlights are Trade Companies, which provide players with extra means to improve their nations' economic growth. Balanced trade mechanics support the Indian provinces development process along with meaningful small additions, like trade goods specific to the region. Trade Companies also have an impact on the global economy, they can be invested in for further bonuses, and increase their influence by purchasing lands on other continents.
The expansion pack also introduces a whole new reform system for the governments. It is exceptionally useful for the players leading their non-European nations into the forming of a modern, globally influential state. The new policy system further diversifies and deepens the journey down your mission trees. One of the most praised of additional gameplay mechanics are new uses for Colonists in non-colonial development. With EU4 Dharma expansion you can now set the Colonists to work on improvement of your already possessed provinces, which provides new interesting ways for their advancement.
The expansion pack was released on September 6th, 2018 as the next EU4 downloadable content after 2017's Cradle of Civilization and 2018's immersion pack Rule Britannia. Note that Dharma DLC is not a stand-alone game and it requires installed Europa Universalis 4 on Steam in order to be activated.
