Europa Universalis IV Codes

About this game

Paradox Development Studio is back with the fourth installment of the award-winning Europa Universalis series. This classic grand strategy game puts you in control of a country across four centuries of drama. Rule your lands and rule the world with unmatched freedom, depth and historical accuracy. Write a new history of the world and build empires over the centuries.

It started before the Renaissance on the world map as it was then. Choose from one of hundreds of countries and then rule until the Age of Revolution. Or, if you prefer, start your game at any time during this time period, with historical kings and other leaders.

You can experience hundreds of dynamic historical events, from simply unsettling civil wars to world-changing moments like the Protestant Reformation. Explore and complete the New World, or endure the conquest of Europe.

Control the flow of trade by developing your trading power in key provinces, using ships and government policies to bring the world’s wealth to your own ports.

Forge alliances into tight-knit relationships, backed by royal weddings or flexible one-handed play, keeping your options open. Attack when your enemies are weak, use your troops to gain new lands and new potential wealth.

The growth rate of your country will be greatly influenced by the person who ascends the throne. Experience rapid growth under a brilliant king only to find things slow down when a less capable heir takes over. Plan for the future using the power of the monarchy wisely.

Four hundred years of research on new modes of war, administration, and trade are available. Unlock new weapons, new buildings and new ship types. Over time, you may catch on to national ideas that represent your historical heritage and ambitions for the future.

From great voyages of discovery to religious wars to revolutionary rule, the entire history of the early modern world awaits you to be rewritten in Europa Universalis IV.
