Gameplay

EU IV is a grand strategy video game and takes place on the map of the entire world. Players can choose their nation from over 500 available ones and develop it from 1444 to 1821 by taking care of the administrative, military, and diplomatic aspects. Each nation owns a certain number of provinces, each contributing negatively or positively to the nation’s overall power.

Players may declare wars and fight to take over new provinces. They can also form alliances, trade with other nations, spread religions, and colonize new territories. While a powerful army is important, diplomacy plays a key role when it comes to the nation’s survival.
