Europa Universalis V Premium Edition Global Steam

Rewrite history

Almost five hundred years of history await in Europa Universalis V, the next evolution of grand strategy from Paradox Interactive. Command any of hundreds of nations, from feudal kingdoms to emergent empires, in a deeply simulated world where every province, every religion, and every diplomatic maneuver matters. Guide your people from the twilight of the Middle Ages to the dawn of the modern era — or chart a completely new course through history.

Rule the nation of your choice — from the mighty empires of Asia to the merchant republics of Europe — and shape the destiny of millions through war, diplomacy, and reform. Will you defend tradition or spark revolution?

Forge alliances, orchestrate marriages, threaten rivals, and manipulate global politics. Leverage the favor system and diplomatic influence to build coalitions, dismantle power blocs, or create an empire without firing a shot.

Deep warfare system

Conscript armies, hire mercenaries, and lead epic campaigns across land and sea with a newly overhauled military system. Design your armed forces from the ground up — from levy-based conscripts to professional standing armies — and dominate with superior tactics, logistics, and commanders.

Manage a fully reworked trade and production network. Dozens of resources and luxury goods flow across the globe — feed your people, enrich your treasury, and control supply chains from local markets to global hubs.

Govern diverse societies

For the first time, see your realm’s cultural and religious makeup reflected directly on the map. Navigate the complexities of multicultural empires and multi-faith provinces as you balance stability, reform, and expansion.

Relive real-world events like the Protestant Reformation or the fall of Constantinople — or alter the course of history entirely. What if France stayed a feudal realm? What if the Mamluks controlled the Mediterranean? The fate of nations is in your hands.

Advance through the Renaissance, the Age of Discovery, and the Enlightenment with society-shaping reforms. Centralize authority, empower the Estates, or foster a tolerant, multicultural society. Your ideology, your legacy.
