About
Almost five hundred years of history unfold before you in Europa Universalis V, the latest version of one of the greatest strategy games of all time. Guide the destiny of any of hundreds of nations and societies in a simulated living world of unparalleled depth and complexity.
Europa Universalis V builds on the franchise’s core concept of developing and advancing nations from around a deeply researched historical world, adding more detailed diplomacy, a more sophisticated economic model, a revised military system and greater logistical depth that will challenge even the most experienced strategy gamers.

RULE a land of your choosing. Hundreds of nations are yours to command, as you guide the destiny of millions of people through the late Middle Ages up to the Age of Revolution - from the mighty Yuán Dynasty to the city-states of Italy, from the warring clans of feudal Japan to the Pope himself.
DECIDE which course your nation will take. Historical events and situations await as you chart a unique path through a new history written by your decisions. Experience The Hundred Years’ War, the Protestant Reformation, the collapse of old dynasties and rise of new ones.
EXPLORE alternate histories as you shape the world to meet your ambitions. What if England succeeded in pressing its continental claims? What if China pursued an overseas empire? What if Mongol supremacy in Russia persisted? Every action opens the possibility for an original history.

IMPOSE domestic peace in a divided realm. Keep your nation’s factions in line as Estates jockey for power in your nation. Offer privileges to one group of citizens while you limit the power of another, all in the service of keeping your population under control.
NEGOTIATE your way through an uneasy peace. Use diplomacy to entrench your dynasty across realms or build an invincible alliance. But remember that nations have no permanent friends - only permanent interests; so use your ambassadors carefully. Exact favors from friends, send threats to enemies, and keep an eye on everyone in-between.
CONQUER new lands to expand your borders. Wage War on those who impede your ambition in a completely new Europa Universalis military system. Start in the age of levies and mercenaries and, through social development, evolve to vast standing armies and impenetrable fortresses. Choose skilled commanders to oversee both land and naval forces.

BUILD a strong economic infrastructure in the most detailed trade system yet seen in a Europa Universalis game. Dozens of goods and crops are available for production and trade on a map filled with new riches to discover. Invest in feeding a growing population or trade your surplus to less bountiful societies.
MOLD your society to meet the historical moment. Choose your societal values, with new options opening as the ages move on. Centralize power at court or share it with your nobles. Pursue a tolerant policy for all faiths or condemn heretics. Emphasize massed armies or an elite cadre of quality soldiers.
GOVERN a nation composed of many cultures and faiths in a detailed simulation of the past. For the first time in Europa Universalis, populations are represented on the map in detail, so provinces may be divided by religion or culture. Your decisions will determine how these populations will fare under your leadership.

PREVAIL in the greatest strategic challenges of the past. Test your expertise in grand strategic planning on a worldscape larger and more detailed than seen in any previous Paradox Interactive game. Challenge yourself to outdo the most famous rulers of the past, eclipsing their grand accomplishments and building your own vision of a richly detailed globe.

Alors là les cocos, c'est non et re-non. Votre jeu, n'en est pas un, je me suis dauffé presque tout le catalogue gestion paradoxe, mais la c'est non. Je m'explique : EUV, n'est pas un jeu au sens ou on l'entend, c'est un proto-jeu, un jeu virtuel, un jeu ou on ne joue pas. Vous voyez les compétitions de types qui s'affrontent dans des concours de tableau excel (si si, ça existe, va voir), c'est très étrange, j'imagine que ces gars n'ont pas de vie sexuelle, ou alors à base de cases et de colonnes(chacun ses goûts). Et bien le nouvel opus de la franchise EU, c'est ça mais en moins attrayant, vous pouvez tout automatiser, alors que déjà vous ne jouez pas, mais en plus il ne se passe rien, c'est chiant, c'est mou, c'est juste la carte du monde avec une micro gestion (ou pas du coup) de truc sans grands intérêts, et des evennements aléatoires pseudo historique, qui vous envois dans un ligne directrice extremement rigide. J'ai pourtant fait presque tous les derniers paradoxe, HOI4, CK3, V3 etc... mais la j'ai rarement eu cette sensation d'ennui, ou tu cliques sur la vitesse la plus rapide, tu laisses le temps défiler 1 an ou 2 et tu mets en pause pour construire un petit batiment et tu recommences, les décennies défilent et rien de pétillant ne se passe. C'est du coca sans bulle, c'est fadasse. Le plus pire, c'est la laideur de la carte et de l'interface, si vous avez joué recemment à CK3, c'est tellement plus chatoyant. Ce qui reste, en sommes et on voit rapidement ou on va si on connait paradoxe, c'est que EU5 est en alfa, avec 80% du contenu non dispo et une interface aux fraises (les textes sortent du champs, on ne peut tout simplement pas lire la fin de certaines phrases, les titres des sauvegardes auto-générées par le jeu, ne sont pas compatible avec le système de sauvegarde, farfelu) et que le reste du contenu va sortir... en DLC, mais ça pas de gros yeux, on est chez les spécialistes du jeu en tranche, ou à la fin tu auras lâché 400e pour le jeu terminé, mais bref inutile de le rappeler tous le monde le fait et tous les zozos, moi compris achètent. Bon aller, je vous laisse, je vais aller m'acheter les derniers DLC de cities skyline 2, y'a une station de radio à 5e et un autre avec une nouveau commissariat à 12e, ne trainont pas !

Please, please rework the PU system. My ruler inherited the throne of Bohemia, but they changed all my laws and I can't even get support for independence. This system is just not working. I would really like to say I love this game, but it needs so much more time. It's just not ready. 27h savegame gone, swabia someday i will comeback to you. 2/10
NO CLUE HOW THIS GAME WORKS EVEN AFTER DOING THE TUTORIALS LIKE 30 TIMES AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Так ну короче наиграл я значит немного всего 400 часов так и не разу не дойдя до конца игры (ну это база). И что могу сказать, стоковая игра это Европа 4 со всеми длс но большей прароботкой в экономику а если в кратце. ВЫ ЧТО НАДЕЛАЛИ Я ТЕПЕРЬ НЕ МОГУ СПОКОЙНО УСНУТЬ ИГРАЯ ЗА СВОЙ ЛЮБИМЫЙ ФРАНКФУРТ, ВОТ РАНЬШЕ УСНУЛ ПРОШЛО ЛЕТ 150 И ВСЕМ ПОПОБРАБАНУ, А ПОТОМ В ПРИДАЧУ ВСЮ СРИ ЗАВАСАЛИЛ БУДУЧИ ВСЁ ЕЩЁ В ОДНОЙ КЛЕТКЕ. А ТЕПЕРЬ БЛИН ДУМАТЬ НАДО. Вот в принципе самое красноречивое различие между 4 и 5 частью. А ну и да русского считайте пока что нет ну разве что для ознокомнения первые часов 100 вкл чтобы понять бонусы и дебафы от ивентов.
The most ambitious grand strategy yet. Taking alot of influence from other paradox properties, with clear influence from Victoria 3's economy and Imperator's population dynamics, EU5 attempts to knit the broadest set of mechanics to offer a deeply simulationist view of national power from the black plague to the beginning of the 19th century. At times the strain of this ambition shows - it can be buggy, unstable, suffer in performance and is undergoing constant tweaking as the development team try to align balance and ai behaviour with player expectations and a broadly historical narrative. Despite this, if you love the genre, you'll love this game. There are so many moments where it sings as you find yourself encountering historical problems and plumbing the depths of its complexity to solve food supply to a starving province, how to cut the french off diplomatically in the 100 years war or bringing back spices from indonesia.
This game gave me a severe and unquenchable hatred for the Czech
I give it a thumbs up because i like the franchise. But to be honest, the game is so complicated i dont know how to do almost anything. It is deeper than eu4 but the trade and building system is too complicated. You can auto alot of mechanics but that takes away the entire game of you. Im hoping for pathes and updates/dlcs that target core mechanics of the game, so far it is not as fun as it is complicated.
Plein de trucs intéressants, mais pour moi c'est quasiment injouable sauf pour les chômeurs insomniaques forcenés (et encore). J'ai littéralement mis 80 HEURES pour atteindre le MID-GAME avec le Portugal - donc pas le plus gros pays, avec le plus de trucs à gérer. J'avais entamé deux trois parties auparavant pour prendre les mécaniques en main, des dizaines d'heures en plus. Finir une partie en solo demande une patience et une endurance mentale sans nom, en multijoueur je ne peux même pas l'envisager. Le rythme du jeu est complètement cassé, et malheureusement Paradox ne semble pas décidé à travailler là-dessus. Je déconseille fortement, partez sur Vicky si vous voulez de la gestion économique, et Eu4 si vous voulez de la conquête à gogo et l'époque Early modern.
♥♥♥♥ the whiny haters, best paradox game out now.
