Europa Universalis is a classic grand strategy game that simulates key historical processes of the world between 1492 and 1792. The player takes control of one of the nations of the modern era, managing diplomacy, economy, military, trade, exploration and colonization on a global scale. The gameplay takes place on an extensive world map divided into hundreds of land and sea provinces, and time flows in a pausable real-time system. This allows for accurate planning of activities, response to events and conducting a long-term strategy. Historical credibility is ensured by authentic monarchs, military commanders, events and technological progress in line with the realities of the era.
