I look forward to future DLC, hoping to see both China and Japan specific events, as well as events for the Holy Roman Empire, Russia, and maybe more Native American events in the future.If All PC's were encased in smooth veneer of walnut and mahogany and keyboards clicked to the sound of manicured fingers on buffed ivory, Europa Universalis would probably be the most popular game in the world. Though having some minor changes to the mechanics, such as over extension, which drive a player crazy, overall, it is a game I plan to play over and over again. The high ratings this game is garnering in reviews are justified. Not only does Paradox Interactive have a winner in Europa Universalis IV, it is easily the best strategy game I have ever played on the Not only does Paradox Interactive have a winner in Europa Universalis IV, it is easily the best strategy game I have ever played on the computer.
