Color me interested...
Sounds like there will be a focus on the HRE, the Pope, and religious mechanics. Revolutions & rebellions are being re-worked as well.
Does EU4 tend to end with the Nappy wars? It should, I guess, to tie up with Victoria (which starts in the aftermath of those wars), but I had never really gotten that impression.

Yes. 1821, is usually the end date.

I seem to remember talking to one of the devs about this - while Rev. France is in there and the Revolutionary Wars were catered for, even back at EU4's launch, I don't think the implementation was that great and if you're starting right at the beginning, I think it's rare that they actually happen in a meaningful way simply because of everything that could potentially happen in a single EU4 game.
How many DLCs does the game already have?
Let's see. (starts it looking up...) :buck2:
Conquest of Paradise *still don't have*
Art of War
Res Publica
Rights of Man
Common Sense
El Dorado
Mare Nostrum
Cossacks
Third Rome
Mandate of Heaven
Rule Britannia
Golden Century
Dharma
Wealth of Nations
Cradle of Civilization
That doesn't count the Music packs, Unit packs, a lot of us got free DLC for an anniversary (Women in History) and the upgrades that include Purple Phoenix, American Dream, etc.
The ones that I am told are recommended are Art of War, Common Sense and Rights of Man (of all of these).
I've heard Rule Britannia is good as well, although obviously that particular DLC is only going to appeal to those who want to get their Union Jack on.

This was released today...any takers?
I'll add it to my collection I am sure....whether I play it a different story. GMG has it for a few $$$ off if anyone decides to buy.
I won't buy EUIV any time soon....way too many DLCs....once you start, how can you stop?

Considering the game is almost 8 years old, I'd say you are doing a pretty good job of holding out.

Actually, i am still learning EUIII!
It certainly breaths new life into the central european game, if you like playing around with the HRE nations.
The free patch does a metric ton of leg work as well though, so even if you don't pick it up mainland Europe is going to be like a different place now.
