Paradox Interactive Announces Europa Universalis IV


Paradox announced the fourth in their(now) longest running series. Europa Universalis IV will use the new Clausewitz engine and will feature a revamped trade system as well as a new leader trait system inspired by their newer entry, Crusader Kings 2. Personally I would love to see a more realistic and fun trade mechanic in the game for those wanting to develop nations that focus on trade. That has been the most boring and simplistic aspect of the game. Europa Universalis IV is due out Q3 2013. Announcement trailer below...
