EUROPA UNIVERSALIS IV: GOLDEN CENTURY Shines In 40 Minutes Of Never Before Seen Gameplay

Paradox Interactive won't stop their acclaimed historic strategy Europa Universalis IV (currently sitting at an amazing 87% MetaScore), as players will have a chance to embark on a brand new journey with conquistadors this December. The Golden Century DLC (which requires the base game Europa Universalis IV on Steam in order to play) will even allow you to play as or combat against pirate nations.

Features of Golden Century include:

• Minority Expulsion: Settle your distant colonies with homeland minorities, promoting greater cohesion at home, while adding more diversity to your subject nations.

• Establish Orders: Iberian nations can appoint Jesuit, Franciscan or Dominican clerics to govern their states to reduce unrest or ease conversion..

• New Mission Trees: New missions and objectives for the nations of Iberia and Northwest Africa, including Spain and Andalucia.

• Pirate Republics: Play as or combat against pirate nations in dangerous sea zones, with their own flavor and game style.

• Flagships: Appoint a Flagship to lead your navy, adding combat and trade power to your fleets.

• Naval Barrage: Use your ships to help besiege coastal forts by bombarding the walls.

The publisher has released over 40 minutes of pure gameplay from Europa Universalis IV: Golden Age and you can check it out down below. Paradox has also revealed that the DLC will cost €9,99 (and presumably $9,99), including 20 unique infantry units for Granada/Andalucía, Navarra, Leon/Galicia, Salé and Pirates and 10 to 12 minutes of original music inspired by the discovery of the New World.

Columbus might not have been the first, but he was the most important. His voyages to the New World were quickly exploited by an ascendant Spanish Crown, leading that great Catholic kingdom to over a century of dominance at the center of European politics. The gold of the Aztecs and silver of Peru laid the foundations of a global empire that stretched from Mexico to Madrid to Manila.
