In order to keep pre-orders free of the trade conflicts and questionable market practices featured in the game, Paradox is taking pre-orders through its newly revamped website and digital storefront.
The Critically Sane Strategist reviews Wealth of Nations, the second major expansion to the critically acclaimed Grand Strategy epic, Europa Universalis IV.
For a game as good as Europa Universalis IV, any addition is a welcome addition. The deep, vibrant world in which the grand strategy takes place is practically made to be expanded. The first expansion, Conquest of Paradise, brought some excellent new mechanics including the brilliant randomised America feature. With consistent free updates as well, EUIV is an incredible package. Yet there are, as you’d expect, small issues with the game. No title is perfect, and one of EUIV’s weakest elements is the trade system that feels more like a tacked-on mechanic than a remotely important part of the game.
What is Wealth of Nations? At $10, it’s not a full blown expansion pack like Brave New World for Civilization 5, nor is it a unit pack or character skin. Wealth of Nations adds real depth to the game.
