Paradox Interactive has announced that the latest expansion for Europa Universalis IV, Mare Nostrum, will be available on the 5th April, 2016.
The DLC adds new new options for the merchant republics, including the ability to form Trade Leagues, new mercenary options that add more control over naval missions, the chance to rent out armies as condottieri, and the ability to share maps with neighbors.
The DLC coincides with an update for all Europa Universalis IV players, which, in addition to the usual gameplay balance and AI tweaks, includes:
- Map Expansion: Greater detail to Ireland and sub-Saharan African, especially in the Congo and East Central Africa, and new “States and Territories” system
- Espionage Reworking: Your diplomats can now build spy networks in enemy nations, from where you can fabricate claims on enemy holdings or undermine them from within.
- Interface improvements: Better tooltips overall, and naval blockades are now more obvious on the map
- Naval Combat Changes: better morale system and increased chance to capture enemy vessels
Paradox Interactive also released a dev diary for the Mare Nostrum DLC, going into more depth about the options it brings to users.
