Your dreams of leading a global empire have laid dormant for too long. Europa Universalis IV brings those dreams to life with unprecedented flexibility, new options for imperial management, and the deep commitment to historical gameplay.

Europa Universalis IV gives you control of a nation to guide it through the years and create a dominant global empire in the age of exploration.

In Europa Universalis IV: Origins, new African missions add greater variety and new goals for some of Africa’s most powerful and interesting nations. The fading giant of Mali, the holy hills of Ethiopia and the African trade centers of the Indian Ocean are given new depth and richer context.
