Buy Europa Universalis V Premium Edition PC key

Europa Universalis V is a grand strategy game in which you guide one of hundreds of nations and societies through almost five hundred years of history, from the late Middle Ages to the Age of Revolution. You shape a simulated world through decisions about diplomacy, government, warfare, trade and society, creating a history that can diverge from the historical course.

Nations and history

Choose a nation to lead, from the Yuán Dynasty and the city-states of Italy to the warring clans of feudal Japan or the Pope. Historical events and situations include The Hundred Years’ War, the Protestant Reformation, the collapse of old dynasties and the rise of new ones. Your decisions can also produce alternate histories, such as an England that presses its continental claims, a China that builds an overseas empire or continued Mongol supremacy in Russia.

Govern your realm

Manage a population represented on the map, with provinces that can contain different cultures and faiths. Keep factions and Estates in line by granting privileges to some groups while limiting the power of others. Your choices determine how the population fares under your rule.

You can shape your society’s values as new options become available through the ages. Centralize power at court or share it with nobles, pursue tolerance or condemn heretics, and favor massed armies or a smaller force of elite soldiers.

Diplomacy and war

Use diplomacy to strengthen your dynasty’s position across realms or build alliances. Send ambassadors, call in favors from allies and threaten enemies, while accounting for nations’ changing interests.

The revised military system develops from levies and mercenaries toward standing armies and fortresses as societies advance. Choose commanders for land and naval forces, and wage war to expand your borders or overcome those blocking your ambitions.

Trade and development

Build an economic infrastructure around a detailed trade system. Produce and trade dozens of goods and crops across a map with new riches to discover. You can invest in feeding a growing population or trade surplus goods to societies with fewer resources.
