Greetings! We come bearing tidings of an exciting future! First and foremost: as of today, all owners of the EU4 Starter Edition will receive the DLC Common Sense for free. At the same time, EVERYONE can now go to our Steam Store page and download the “Rights of Man”, “Art of War”, “Common Sense” and the “Digital Extreme Upgrade” DLC’s for free!

by PDXRyagi

Hey all! Ryagi here to help showcase Aevum Lupi Bicipitis with experienced modder and lead dev on ALB, Trappist-1E. We've had a streak of covering these huge map mods, and this one really encapsulates that alt history "Ooooo cool new map!" feeling. If map mods are not your thing, worry not, we'll get back to looking at more than just big map mods for future spotlights. For now though, lets allow Trappist to take it away and show off what ALB has to offer! ------------ Hello, I’m TRAPPIST-1E, one of the lead developers of ALB, and I’m here to present my mod. It’s an alternate history mod, featuring an overhaul of the map from Ireland to Cathay!

Community Mod Spotlight - Atlas Novum

by PDXRyagi

Hello again! Ryagi here to bring you yet another overhaul for EUIV. Overhaul mods are by definition some of the most ambitious projects to undertake for any mod team. And Atlas Novum is no exception, broadly touching almost every major game mechanic in EUIV, provinces, government reforms, techs, institutions, units and more! Taking inspiration from some of Grandfathers of EUIV modding such as Beyond Typus, MEIOU & Taxes and more. So, lets sink our teeth into this huge project with the help of lead Dev Amyzonis, presenting Atlas Novum! --------------------- Howdy! My name is Amyzonis and I am the lead developer of the mod Atlas Novum, a project that has been in development for the past six years. What is Atlas Novum? Described by some as EU4.5, Atlas Novum is a total overhaul of the game. Our development process has been to focus on reworks in three distinct phases: mapwork, mechanics, and content. Thus far only the mapwork has been completed in its entirety, though mechanics are rapidl...

1.37.3 Patch is now LIVE!

Fixing CTDs, Diplomacy and Warfare related issues. As always, please report any issues in our bug report forum or submit a support ticket.

Community Mod Spotlight - Voltaire's Nightmare

by PDXRyagi

Hey Folks! Ryagi here, today we take a brief dive into a nightmare, but not just anyone's nightmare. It's Voltaire's Nightmare! That's right! We're finally getting along to covering this classic EU4 mod. What took us so long? Well, gotta keep some of those classics in your pocket for a rainy day you know? Anyway, with pleasantries out of the way, lets get into the meat and potatoes on this mod, brought to you by the Voltaire's Nightmare dev team as a whole: ---------------------------------- Hello everyone, we are the development team for the mod Voltaire’s Nightmare. Voltaire’s Nightmare has evolved quite a bit over the years — it originally emerged in 2016 with the idea of creating something like ‘Iaponia Universalis’ for the Holy Roman Empire, which is to say, replacing the entire world map with an ultra-detailed HRE. Taking this chaotic world of tiny lordships, abbacies, and republics as our starting point, we have expanded the scope of the mod to cover everything from Ireland to I...
