Empire builders, rejoice. Thanks to thelatest Humble Bundle, you can now conquer the whole ofEuropa Universalis IVand its many, many expansion packs for as little as £13 / $17, or just get the base game (and six other DLC packs) for a single US dollar - that’s 76p in the UK! That’s an outright steal if ever I saw one, so why not read on for the full list ofEuropa-themed spoils?

Said charities for Humble’s Europa Universalis IV bundle arecharity: waterand theWWFthis time. No, not the wrestling WWF, the panda World Wildlife Fund WWF. Of course, like many of Humble’s previous bundle, there are three different tiers to the Europa Univeralis IV Humble Bundle, and you can pay as much or as little as you like for it.

Then, if you pay more than theaverage pricefor the bundle, which currently stands at £7.40 / $9.67, you get all these DLC packs as well:

Finally, if you pay the full price of£13 / $17or more, you get all of the above and all of the below:

That’s a lot ofEuropa Universalisfor £13 / $17, but as our Adam (RPS in peace) once said in hisEuropa Universalis review, it’s “an excellent entry point” to grand strategy games if you’ve never played one before.

It’s a more directed experience thanCrusader Kings II, providing clarity in terms of short- and long-term objectives without actively restraining the player. If you played CK II for the characters and plots, but aren’t sure whether the transition to a less personal politics will suit you, be assured that EU IV is equally gripping as a generator of narratives, and makes characters of its nations. And if you’re a veteran of the series, rejoice, because this is the strongest and most satisfying entry.
