Description

Columbus might not have been the first, but he was the most important. His voyages to the New World were quickly exploited by an ascendant Spanish Crown, leading that great Catholic kingdom to over a century of dominance at the center of European politics. The gold of the Aztecs and silver of Peru laid the foundations of a global empire that stretched from Mexico to Madrid to Manila. Relive those days of empire building from the Reconquista to the treasure fleets in Europa Universalis IV: Golden Century, a new immersion pack from Paradox Development Studios.

Features of Golden Century include:

  • Minority Expulsion: Settle your distant colonies with homeland minorities, promoting greater cohesion at home, while adding more diversity to your subject nations.
  • Establish Orders: Iberian nations can appoint Jesuit, Franciscan or Dominican clerics to govern their states to reduce unrest or ease conversion..
  • New Mission Trees: New missions and objectives for the nations of Iberia and Northwest Africa, including Spain and Andalucia.
  • Pirate Republics: Play as or combat against pirate nations in dangerous sea zones, with their own flavor and game style.
  • Flagships: Appoint a Flagship to lead your navy, adding combat and trade power to your fleets.
  • Naval Barrage: Use your ships to help besiege coastal forts by bombarding the walls.

Golden Century includes a Content Pack that includes:

  • New Iberian Army Units: 20 unique infantry units for Granada/Andalucia, Navarra, Leon/Galicia, Salé and Pirates.
  • New Iberian Ship Models: 17 new ship models for the Iberian nations (Portugal, Spain, Aragon, Navarra, Galicia, Leon, Andalucia and Granada.)
  • New Berber Ship Models: 17 new ship models for Berber nations (Morocco, Tlemcen, Algiers, Tunis, Fezzan, Mzab, Touggourt, Djerid, Tripoli, Tafilalt, Sus, Fez, Salé.)

As with all EU IV DLCs, this expansion adds some nice additions, and then add a new feature that ruins the game, and makes you disable it (or better, ask for a refund) Good things: - Now you can build a flag ship with

Not only is it complete dog poo on its own merits, but the Domination DLC completely overwrites the mission tree. Making this without a doubt the worst Paradox DLC. You are paying for one thing only: the

Only bought this DLC because it debugs an issue that's causing my game to crash. Definitely nothing coercive about that. Nope.

Although Britain's immersion pack was a blast, I thought this one was pretty disappointing. It is nice to have more content in Iberia from what it is though. Only buy when on sale.

While I completely agree that Paradox absolutely need to get their ♥♥♥♥ together when it comes to updates (1.31 is a joke!) and DLCs (do buy on sale), I must say that I really enjoy playing as a Pirate republic. For
