REAPER'S DUE adds a key element of medieval history, but some players dislike random diseases or plagues interfering with their orderly conquest of Eurasia, or perhaps wiping them out entirely! Enjoying this expansion requires a flexible mindset. However, min-max players often recommend being (or becoming) a REPUBLIC for maximizing your wealth, while SONS OF ABRAHAM makes Judaism a playable religion and adds some additional religious details (mostly to Christianity, a few to Islam). SONS OF ABRAHAM and THE REPUBLIC provide the least additional value. Nomads are considered especially powerful by some. HORSE LORDS and RAJAS OF INDIA expand map and gameplay possibilities further east. LEGACY OF ROME seems the most popular, but SWORD OF ISLAM provides a fascinating chance to be the "great opponent" of Christian Western Europe. The additional cultures/governments/religions provides new challenges once you've mastered the western Europeans. It is only recommended to players no longer interested in earning Steam achievements. The RULER DESIGNER currently disables all game achievements. WAY OF LIFE is generally liked, but CONCLAVE introduces political complexities and limitations that were especially frustrating to "old guard" players. The CK2 to EU4 converter was updated considerably in late 2016, but can still yield odd results, since CK2 can drift dramatically from actual history.
They probably represent the best value in DLC, provided you enjoy the gameplay. THE OLD GODS and CHARLEMAGNE amost double the gameplay options by extending the game's time period by 200 or 300 years. MONKS & MYSTICS (councillor expansion, four secret societies for various religions) SUNSET INVASION (ahistorical invaders from the Americas, for "balance") THE REAPER'S DUE (disease, plagues, medieval "medicine" and "doctors," hospitals) THE REPUBLIC (Merchant city republics like Venice or the Hanseatic League) SONS OF ABRAHAM (playable Jews, some additional religious options) RAJAS OF INDIA (Indian subcontinent, with multiple new religions) HORSE LORDS (Steppe nomads of Central Asia) LEGACY OF ROME (Retinue system & Byzantine Imperial system) RULER DESIGNER (design your own starting ruler, but disables achievements)Īdditional Culture/Government/Religion Types:Īdds variety and depth by letting you play something other than a Feudal Western European. CONCLAVE (forces you to deal with politics within your realm, adds challenge & complexity) WAY OF LIFE (gives more control and variety to decision-making, but with interesting limits) CK2 to EU4 CONVERTER (allows you to import CKII game result as EUIV start)Īdditional rules that add a larger variety of more complicated decisions: CHARLEMAGNE (allows 769 AD start, including "bookmark" scenarios) THE OLD GODS (allows 867 AD start, including "bookmark" scenarios) The standard game starts in 1066, ends in 1453 AD.
