One of the best strategy games on the market now! Europa Universalis IV is just fantastic and very addictive! You can choose any country that existed between 1444 to 1821 and play it. From a native tribe in North America to a great european power!

If you choose for example Portugal or Spain you can probably be the first to set sail to the New World. If you choose France or England that are in the 100 Years War at the at the start. You can also choose one of the small german states/nations and try to overthrow Austria and become the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire or play as a daimyo and unite Japan!

You have many decisions to make along the long way between 1444 to 1821. For example as England or Scotland you can form Great Britain after some objectives are made, as Castile you can form Spain. There also other formable countries for example The Polish Commonwealth, Germany, Hindustan, Holy Roman Empire, Ireland, Prussia, the Netherlands, Russia and lots more!

In the upcoming DLC Conquest of Paradise there will be new native tribes, When you conquer or colonise a certain amount of land new nations will be formed, for example if you play as Spain and you have coquered all of the Aztecs, Mayas and Zapotecs the game will form a colony nation called New Spain, that will become a vassal.

Paradox made a good job on this and the community is also very good! 9/10
