Long-lost cities of gold in the Americas? Paradox Interactive have just announced a new expansion for Europa Universalis IV, and it’s called El Dorado. The Nation Designer is the ”centerpiece”.
We can start our own custom nation, picking our capital, select our neighbouring provinces, modify our culture, pick a leader and then march to conquest. El Dorado focuses on the New World for decisions and events.
Specifically the Central and Southern American theatres will be peppered with ”new decisions worthy of a king or conqueror.” The Amazon rainforest will be opened up to more colonisation.
”As the Aztecs, subject the Mexican plain to your rule but make sure you have enough vassal kings to sacrifice to your angry gods. As the Europeans, push deeper into the jungles of the Amazon, following rumors of lost cities and magical fountains. Defer to the Pope as he intervenes to divide the New World among squabbling empires.”
Europa Universalis IV: El Dorado releases on PC, Mac and Linux in February.
El Dorado feature highlights:
▪ A deep Nation Designer gives you new starting options for your games, including national ideas and custom monarchs
▪ Experience the new Nahuatl, Inti and Mayan religions with blood sacrifices or Sun Worship
▪ Send your conquistadors to hunt for the Seven Cities of Gold, or your explorer on exploration missions around the world
▪ Gold Fleets can traffic New World wealth back to Europe, and be targeted by your privateer fleets
▪ Use your trade fleets to hunt dangerous pirates
▪ Maintain good relations with the Pope so you can get a corner of the world to call your own in the Treaty of Tordesillas
