Europa Universalis 4: Third Rome Impressions: Long On Immersion, A.The French wars of religion are represented in game, but they’re never a serious threat to France, and they should be. Likewise, the Protestant Reformation in general-especially outside of Germany, and double especially in France-could benefit from an immersion pack. But what about Scandinavia, and some new mechanics to represent the North’s unique position in Europe and the factors that led Sweden to emerge as a bona fide Great Power? Or little Switzerland, a hotbed of the Reformation and Europe’s first federal state? Even Scotland could benefit.Īnd who’s to say immersion packs have to stay focused on regions? Why not time periods? The Thirty Years War has tons of mechanics behind it already, but rarely does it actually happen, and it almost never becomes the massive Great Power conflagration in the crucible of Germany it was in real life. All the traditional European Great Powers are already well-fleshed out (as was Russia-but now it’s even more fleshed out).
As the name of the game suggests, Europe is the most well-developed region in Europa Universalis 4… but that doesn’t mean it can’t benefit from a little more love in terms of immersion packs.
