    Anbennar. a pike-and-shot fantasy total conversion for Europa Universalis IV which is so much better than the base game that I think 75% of my hours in that game are actually Anbennar.

    Very pleased to share Parodox's Educator's Guide for Europa Universalis IV (that I wrote) is now available for all. EUIV is a challenging game & I spent considerable time breaking down exactly how I'd use it in history classes in hopes the many interested educators out there will give it a try. 1/ 🗃️

    Europa Universalis IV has 3D pawns but it’s basically a 2D game So I think the last 3D game I played was either Life is Strange 2 or ACNH

    anyway i'm off to play the pre-release new version of Anbennar, a fantasy rework of Europa Universalis IV, which is a dangerously grognard-adjacent game. i hope the muskovites don't find out and chastise me! i have it on good authority it was written by *not a white person*, for added horror!

    What a great year for my gaming! In 2013 Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm was easily my favorite game. Now in 2025? Europa Universalis IV likewise easily takes the crown. It's not even that I'm really down on Starcraft 2! Still an all-time top 3-5 game for me. EU4 is just my current number 1.

    There's this game, Europa Universalis IV (a grand strategy game), I just got back to playing it today after a fairly long time of not playing it, and they've done a lot of flavor reworking for Mesoamerica, which is nice, but couldn't they call the Nawa religion something other than "Nahuatl"?

    Just bought the entire DLC pack for Europa Universalis IV in advance of returning to the game for the first time since before covid. This is the strategy gamer equivalent of buying Brandon Sanderson's entire back catalogue. It feels good, but the chances of getting through it all are basically zero.

    Oddly enough, what really helped me get my head around this was playing Crusader Kings II and Europa Universalis IV. In CKII, the player guides a dynasty. If the dynasty goes extinct, game over. In EUIV, the player guides a state, and the ruling dynasty can change without game over.

    Remember when after a game had been out a while and you released a sequel, you would cut the price of the old one. Anyway Europa Universalis IV is like 13 years old and is still being sold for 50 dollars. Base game. I don't ever want to give your company money again.
