Story/Creativity This game has no story, it starts at November 1444 and ends at 1821. It's the newest entry to the Europa Universalis series and is probably my favourite of them all, it was released on August 2013 and is still getting updates and additional DLC to this date. Introduction Europa Universalis 4 is a grand-strategy game developed by Paradox Interactive that plays in real time, with the complexity of this series it appeals to already existing fans of previous installments as well as the more hardcore strategy player.
