Europa Universalis IV Art of War DLC Releases
STOCKHOLM — October 30, in the year of our Lord 2014—
Paradox Interactive today released “Art of War,” a new expansion
for the award-winning grand strategy game Europa Universalis IV,
for Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs. In what could be the largest
expansion DLC in Paradox history, Art of War includes a broad
selection of updates and features for Europa Universalis IV
starring the most detailed and historically accurate map in
Paradox’s strategic titles to date. Hundreds of new provinces
dot the globe as the masters of grand strategy cast their eye on
new nations and history beyond Europe’s shores.
Alongside the release of Art of War, a massive, free patch with
loads of new content has also been issued that all players of
Europa Universalis IV can download and use.
"Sun Tzu said that it is best to win without fighting at all,
but if one must fight, preparation is the key to victory," says
Martin Anward, lead designer on Art of War. "With over nine
hundred new provinces, over a hundred new nations and the
addition of major religious wars that ravage a continent,
preparation will be essential in the Art of War if you hope to
guide your nation through four centuries of expanded, enriched
gameplay and emerge as one of the winners of history."
Inspired by the passion and tragedy of the Thirty Years War, Art
of War brings the military aspects of Europa Universalis IV into
high relief by adding new military mechanics. New challenges
await your empire, but new opportunities as well. If you are
starved for manpower, why not turn your vassal into a March, and
use its soldiers to buttress your own? Force the Holy Roman
Empire to convert to Protestantism and undo centuries of
tradition.
Art of War features include:
- Revamped Papal election and curia system
- Religious leagues in totally redone Reformation structure, to
encourage religious conflict
- Hundreds of new provinces and dozens of new nations throughout
game history
- New revolt system that traces general unrest
- Greater flexibility in managing and sharing fleets
- The creation of client states as a new form of subject ally
- Army construction template for easy rebuilding of destroyed
forces
Art of War is available for $19.99.

League Unit Pack, are available for purchase at $1.99.
New Music Packs, the Songs of War Pack and Guns, Drums, and
