• One inspired by the discovery of the Americas, a sea shanty with nautical themes.
• One drawing on the North Sea and Hanseatic cultures
• One inspired by the cultural crossroads of Central Asia, with sounds of the Silk Road

About Winds of Change

This expansion pack for Europa Universalis IV focuses on three regions of the world that are dramatically transformed by the rapid changes of the early modern world. In the Americas, regional empires are solidifying their position as a new threat prepares to overwhelm their societies. In Europe, the Reformation, new trading routes and the rise of a proto-nationalist spirit challenge old nations to reform and present lucrative opportunities for the financially astute. In Central Asia, the erosion of Mongol power has left a number of nations scrambling to fill the power vacuum.
