Free Your Mind Today With Europa Universalis IV: Rights of Man

New Expansion to Paradox Strategy Classic Available Now

STOCKHOLM – 11 October 2016 – Paradox Interactive and Paradox Development Studio announce the release of Rights of Man, a new expansion to Europa Universalis IV, the best-selling historical strategy game about exploration, colonization, and development through the early modern era.

The latest expansion to Europa Universalis IV lets the world’s eight greatest powers throw their weight around with new diplomatic options, including forcing others to break their alliances or giving friendly foreign monarchs a boost to their stats. But becoming a Great Power means balancing expansion with technological prowess and development.

Rights of Man includes:

• Great Powers: Greatness is rewarded with new ways to interact with the lesser nations around you.
  
  
  
• Ruler Personalities: Your monarchs acquire Personality Traits that will help or hurt your nation, and help you anticipate the behavior of neighboring nations
  
  
  
• Leader Traits: Generals and admirals can earn bonus abilities through combat
  
  
  
• New Governing Tools: Debase your currency for quick cash, spend military power to increase your legitimacy, abdicate the throne or disinherit inconvenient heirs
  
  
  
• Queen Regency: Queens can rule in the name of young heirs, with greater power than normal regencies
  
  
  
• Religious Changes: Coptic Christians and African Fetishists have new systems, deepening the strategy for these faith groups
  
  
  
• New Government Systems: Ruling Prussia, the Ottomans or Revolutionary Republics will be new experiences since is each getting another look and new mechanics

As always, Rights of Man’s release is accompanied by a free update for all Europa Universalis IV owners, and this one may be our biggest yet with a complete overhaul of two major game systems – technological progress and cultural acceptance, plus other updates that apply to owners of certain other expansions.

Europa Universalis IV: Rights of Man is available on major digital platforms and the official Paradox Store for the price of $19.99.

Patch 1.18 "Prussia Patch" is gearing up to be released alongside Rights of Man Tomorrow on the 11th October.

While saves from 1.17.1 will likely function, due to massive changes to the game there will undeniably be funky things going on with them if played in 1.18. We recommend that if you wish to complete your 1.17.1 games, roll back to version 1.17.1

These patchnotes are so long you could print them out into a book and "disinherit" your heir with it.

>> Read full patch notes on our official forum <<

We strongly recommend staying on version 1.17.1 if you have any old ironman games you wish to finish! Updating to 1.18 will cause really strange behavior in games started with a previous patch level. You have been warned!

Here is an extremely limited selection from the patch notes:

Hello everyone! Today is the final development diary before the release of Rights of Man! Which is next week! Actually, its next tuesday even! At 15.00 CET if all goes well.. 1.18 “Prussia” will go live on the steam-servers and you’ll be able to purchase Rights of Man.

So, to wrap up the teasers for this update, we’ll start with yet ANOTHER addition to a previous expansion. In El Dorado, we added advisor portraits for South Americans. Back in those days, advisors were all males.. Now though, we have added a set of female advisors to the South American graphical culture!



In our effort to make the games more user-friendly, or as some say, super-casual, we have now reduced the amount of clicks you need to continue a savegame. Now there is a nice “Continue” button in the launcher, that launchers your latest played game without stopping for a decision in the frontend.



And for those of you who play Hearts of Iron IV, you’ll be aware about the possibility for the game to automatically upload crashdumps to our servers, whenever you start the game after it had crashed before. Of course, this is all voluntary.


1.18 and Rights of Man adds 20 new achievements as well, for those of you that love hunting them.

• We bled for this - Win a war with at least 1M dead on both sides.
  
• Pick Your Poison - As Kaffa, develop in Cafa while a subject of yours owns it..
  
• Not just Pizza - Become a Great Power as Naples.
  
• All That's Thine Shall Be Mine - As a Greedy ruler, take all of a nation’s ducats in a peace deal
  
• A Blessed Nation - As a Coptic Nation, gain all 5 Blessings
  
• Queen of Conquest - Conquer land while in a Queen Regency
  
• AAA Credit - As a Great Power, take on over 1,000 ducats of another nation’s debt.
  
• Hoarder - as a Fetishist nation, have 13 available Cults
  
• Gentle Persuasion - Have a Siege Specialist general win a siege in a province with a fort
  
• Combined Arms - Have both an Admiral and a General with a trait
  
• Cities of Cibola - as Pueblo, own at least seven provinces with 10 development each.
  
• Turkish Delight - Start as Candar, and own 20 Sugar provinces between you and your subjects
  
• Baa Baa Black Sheep - As Qara Qoyunlu become the leading producer of wool
  
• Fanatic Collectivist - Own all Institution Origin provinces.
  
• Core-fu - force a nation to revoke 5 cores in one peace deal as Corfu
  
• Rozwi Empire - Start as Butua, conquer Mutapa (Zimbabwe and .Lower Zambezi areas)
  
• The Sudanese Expedition - Starting as Morocco Conquer the Niger and Sahel Regions
  
• A tale of two Families - Starting as Vijayanagar or Bahmanis conquer the other’s capital and have them not exist.
  
• Abu Bakr II’s Ambition - Start as Mali and have 4 Colonial Subjects in south America
  
• Consulate of the Sea - As Aragon conquer all Mediterranean Centres of Trade

We have tweaked quite alot of national ideas in 1.18, adding new modifiers to them, giving a new fresh feeling. This includes movement speed of armies, fire damage, institution spread and more, and as usual, some countries got new unique national ideas, including Malwa, Pattani, Kaffa, Corfu, Lorraine and Wurzburg.


Here is a quick look at the national ideas of Malwa.

Traditions: +3 Tolerance of Heathen and -10% Infantry Cost.

• Rajputs of Malwa : +15% Manpower
  
• Nimatnama : +25% Religious Unity & +0.5 Yearly Prestige
  
• Surat-Delhi Route: +10% Trade Efficiency
  
• Fortified Strongholds: +20% Defensiveness
  
• Black Soil: +10% Goods Produced
  
• Reliance of Jain Bankers: -0.1 Yearly Inflation
  
• Malwa Opium: +10% Province Trade Power

Ambition: +1 Accepted Cultures


And for those of you that play multiplayer. 1.18, will now give the option of making a player that drops totally brain-dead until he or she can reconnect.



Next week, we go live on the tuesday, so there won’t be a development diary that day!
