Buy Europa Universalis IV Starter Edition PC key

Europa Universalis IV is a historical strategy game in which you control any of hundreds of nations and guide it through four centuries, from before the Renaissance and the late Middle Ages to the Age of Revolutions and the Napoleonic era. You can begin at different dates across this span, with historical monarchs and other leaders, and shape a new course for the world.

Nations and events

Lead your nation through hundreds of dynamic historical events, from civil wars to the Protestant Reformation. Discover and settle the New World, or resist European conquest. Your ruler affects the pace of national development: a skilled monarch can speed it up, while a less competent heir can slow it down. Spend monarch power carefully as you plan for the future.

Trade and diplomacy

Develop trade power in key provinces, and use ships and government policy to bring wealth to your ports. Build alliances through royal marriages or keep your options open with a flexible approach to diplomacy. When your enemies are weak, use your armies to take land and its potential riches.

Develop your nation

Research new approaches to warfare, administration and trade across 400 years. Unlock weapons, buildings and ship types, then adopt national ideas that reflect your historic legacy and future ambitions. The game covers grand voyages of discovery, religious wars and revolutionary governments.
