Description

In the Europa Universalis IV: Leviathan expansion, you get new tools to centralize and accumulate power for your country. New diplomatic actions give you the means to go up against mightier counterparts and new economic tools will allow you to establish rich vassal empires that draw wealth and development to your monumental capital city.

Leviathan also brings new improvements to other core areas of the game, such as colonies and regencies.

Features of Europa Universalis IV: Leviathan include:

  • Ask for Favors: Curry favors with other nations and use them to advance diplomatic goals.

  • New Regency Options: Regency councils represent the interests of the most powerful estate, and can be extended to delay the ascension of an unfit monarch.

  • Specialized Colonial Nations: Let your colonies focus on military help, trade power or self-government.

  • Concentrate Development: You can now steal development from your vassals or territorial possessions to enhance the power of your capital city.

  • Pillage Capital: Loot an enemy capital as a condition of peace, hauling development back to the capital metropolis.

  • Expand Infrastructure: Provinces can expand their capacity to build new structures and manufactories, allowing smaller nations to create centers of wealth for a modest cost.

  • Centralize State: Reduce the cost of government by spending unused Reform points.

  • Totemism: Nations that follow the Totemist religion can revere a pantheon of past leaders, earning bonuses that reflect the skills they had in life.

  • Monuments: Expand and establish great projects, adding new bonuses to your empire.

  • New Unit Models: New army sprites for Southeast Asian nations, including Indochinese, Indonesian and Polynesian nations.

  • And more: Including the ability to carpet siege enemy provinces, draft transports as a plutocratic nation, watch heirs gain legitimacy as they wait to inherit the throne and other changes.

- Great works are really cool (this is good) - Literally everything else is troll and sucks - Curry favors lets you literally just build up free points to cash in whenever for free money, manpower, force AI out of

Leviathan launched with campaign-killing bugs that led to many deservedly horrible reviews. Those bugs have all been patched now, though, and its features are excellent. I'm especially fond of monuments (which add a

"Why is this DLC rated so badly?" - Came out broken and half-baked - Literally BROKE the game on its release (those versions were quite the fever dream ngl very funny) - Made colonising much more tedious than it already

Say what you will Leviathan was probably the last expansion pack that added game-changing mechanics to the game. However the only features I like about this expansion is the curry favors option, the new regency

This was beyond broken at release but it works just fine now. Many will say monuments are too OP and break the game, I wouldn't go that far but they definitely are a big advantage for the player. The rest of the systems

Honestly, it's a fairly solid DLC today. It might have been buggy as hell when it was launched, but it's fairly seamless today. The monuments, especially, adds a lot of flavor to the game for every single country and
