Description



Revisit some of the most powerful and popular nations in Domination, an expansion pack for Europa Universalis IV. Centered on the great empires of the Early Modern world, Domination offers new mission trees, new government reforms, new estate management and new events for several of the major powers in the game. These popular starting nations are now given new life and new balance, with greater historical depth, more promising rewards and branching mission trees so player choices can have a dramatic impact on the course of history.

Europa Universalis IV: Domination includes new national mission trees and features for:

  • The Ottoman Empire:

    A revised conquest tree with new rewards for pushing Ottoman dominance, including expansion through the new Eyalet system, and new internal changes, such as the new Janissary estate and the 'Ottoman Power Struggle'..

  • China:

    Different mission trees for the Han Ming and invader empires like the Qing. Choose between expansion and Inward Perfection, and counter the power of the Eunuchs to build a more stable empire.

  • Japan:

    Unite Japan as you deal with the power of the Shogun and the independent Daimyos. Choose to open the country to foreign influence or keep it isolated, while deciding upon different paths of expansion and reform.

  • Russia:

    Free your country of the Tatar Yoke, and transform it into a Great Empire. Choose the path of Peter's reforms to modernize the state, so your mission tree as well as your mechanics will change and evolve as the game progresses. Use the power of Cossacks and Streltsy to expand your Empire to East and West.

  • Spain:

    Expanded mission trees for Castile and Aragon, with different paths to form Spain, a new mechanic available for the new 'Hispanic Monarchy' government, and decisions about the Army and Navy to get the mighty Tercios and Spanish Armada.

  • France:

    Fight the end of the Hundred Years War, centralize France into an absolute monarchy while dealing with the Wars of Religion, expand into Italy and the Holy Roman Empire, and lead the Revolution through an expanded mission tree.

  • Great Britain:

    Separate paths for either a British Empire or an Angevin Britain, as well as a deeper internal gameplay, with unique features for the English Parliament and changes to the English Civil War disaster.

  • Minor nations:

    Mission changes, new government mechanics and expanded flavor for Prussia, Portugal and Korea.

Domination also includes:

  • New Historical Detail:

    Added government reforms and estate privileges for many major nations. For example, the Ottomans get a dozen new reforms, and Russia a dozen new privileges for their Nobles ('Boyars) and Burghers.

  • New Special Units:

    Three new types of Land special units - 'Samurai' for Japan, 'Tercios for Spain, and 'Musketeers' for France, and a new feature of Naval special units, with 6 special units for Portugal, Spain, Great Britain, Korea, Netherlands, and Genoa and Venice.

  • New Art:

    32 new unit sprites for four Western and four Eastern cultures.

  • New Music:

    Three new French flavored songs, three new Turkish flavored songs, and three new Chinese flavored songs.

Domination clocks in as quite possibly the dumbest and one of the worst DLCs ever made by Paradox. This DLC should have been a free update even more than the rest. You are paying $20 to add additional content to nations

First and foremost, this is an immersion pack. Not an expansion. There is no universe where I should be paying the extra 5 euro. It's the price of the sandwich, I'll live, but the precedent it sets is a little worrying.

Unfinished product. I belive this is the patch that broke Japanese missions tree. Earlier you couldn't finish Daimyo mission tree becouse it needed forming Japan, which gave you new mission tree, which btw. is much much

What a terrible piece of DLC! 300k strong Ottomans by 1500 (I love watching the AI deal with that). Castile gets disaster bombed, which the AI can't deal with the Ming earthquake that you guest it the AI can't deal with

in hindsight, this expansion (and the ones that followed it) messed with the game's balance pretty badly imo. the content itself is well-made, but it just introduces a lot of power creep - all the mission trees in this

This is DLC should be available as free update for the base game and multiple previous DLC's. Very expensive. Content itself is good in most parts.
