It seems that this time, fans will not complain about the lack of content in the Paradox Interactive game.
The developers of Europa Universalis 5 have released a new diary and talked about how much content the new grand strategy will offer at the start.
The creators said that they "slightly overdid it" with the addition of content. According to their calculations, UE5 1.0 will have more content at the start than the current version of Europa Universalis 4.
Below are some positions for comparison:
· 7022 events (about 2000 general, 5000 DHE — dynamic historical events) —> versus 6351 in EU4 1.37
· 22 situations —> new
· 33 disasters —> 41 in EU4 1.37; the developers noted that "half are now presented using new systems, such as civil wars"
· 63 Cabinet Actions —> new
· 434 buildings —> 36 general, 10 unique
· 16 public values —> 9 in EU3
· 2534 improvements —> new
· 20 types of creations, 11 types of creators, about 250–300 creations at the start —> new
· 267 units (squads) —> "difficult to compare, as they can now be created"
The release of Europa Universalis 5 is expected on November 4, 2025.
