  • Crusader Kings II to Europa Universalis IV Converter Summary
    Crusader Kings II to Europa Universalis IV Converter The Crusader Kings II to Europa Universalis IV Converter will let you take any point in time in the Crusader Kings II game and convert that into a Europa Universalis IV game. You can export your Crusader Kings II game at any time while playing or when at the end game screen. In the Europa Universalis IV launcher, you then select the exported game as a mod. No matter what the game date is in Crusader Kings II, it will be 1444 in Europa Universalis IV. Crusader Kings II features a lot of content with focus on Europe, which gives us more nations, different religions, culture groups and so on than exist in Europa Universalis IV. So, let's say you managed to save Zoroastrianism from extinction in your game. Even though EU4 does not have that religion, the converter will create a mod for Europa Universalis IV where it does! Among the dynamically created things are nation names, cultures, religions and flags. We've tried to transfer as much data as possible from Crusader Kings II, including special events. Independent Counts and Dukes of Crusader Kings II will be happy to know that they'll get promoted to kings after converting. Buildings, wars and technology are not exported since there is no way to map them to something in Europa Universalis IV in any sensible way. Every independent nation is converted to a Europa Universalis IV equivalent where possible. Where it is impossible to map it to an already existing one a new nation is created with its own unique flag.

    EUROCENTRIC VALUES AT PLAY MODDING THE COLONIAL FROM THE INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVE RHETT LOBAN AND THOMAS APPERLEY Indigenous people and cultures are rarely included in digital games, and if they are it is often in a rather thoughtless manner. The indigenous peoples and cultures of many parts of the world have been portrayed in digital games in several ways that show little respect or understanding of the important issues these populations face. For example, in the Australian-made Ty the Tasmanian Tiger (Electronic Arts, 2002), Australian Aboriginal people are completely absent, replaced by anthropomorphized indigenous animals some of whom wear traditional face paint, while the plot involves rescuing other animals from the “dreamtime.” So while a secularized white settler version of Aboriginal culture is a core part of the game, the people are absent. The controversial mobile game Survival Island 3: Australia Story (NIL Entertainment, 2015), was removed from the Google Play and Apple stores in January 2016, largely because of an online petition that was concerned the game encouraged violence against indigenous Australians. The game portrayed Aboriginal people as “savages” who contributed to the difficulty of surviving in the Australian outback. Other games have appropriated indigenous iconography and culture, like Mark of Kri (Sony Computer Entertainment, 2002) which used traditional Māori (the indigenous people of Aotearoa/New Zealand) facial tattoo or Tā moko on characters in the game. These examples are disappointing, and seem to represent a common 1 occurrence in commercial non-indigenous media. However, there have also recently been a number of critically acclaimed commercial gaming projects which deal with indigenous culture and issues from an indigenous perspective, for example the game Never Alone/Kisima Inŋitchuŋa (E-Line Media, 2014), made by Upper One Games in partnership with 2 Alaska’s Cook Inlet Tribal Council.

  • Europa Universalis Iv As a Catalyst for Worldbuilding
    WORLDBUILDING INSIDE A BOX: EUROPA UNIVERSALIS IV AS A CATALYST FOR WORLDBUILDING JAYHANT SAULOG School of Design and Informatics Abertay University (May 2018) ABSTRACT Worldbuilding (the practice of creating fictional worlds) faces a unique challenge due to video games’ interactive nature, especially regarding sandbox games and non-linear narratives: how does one build a world in a genre so inherently pervasive? Where the player can be anyone and travel anywhere at any time? Where the game is less driven by the main story (or even lacking it completely), and instead leaves the world and setting to stand on its own? However, with the right platform, the pervasive nature of the sandbox genre can act as a catalyst to work to the worldbuilder’s advantage. When the platform asks questions, the worldbuilder is called to answer, and from this a development loop occurs resulting in a fleshed-out world that truly works in cooperation with the game. The research will seek to uncover the effectiveness of using the sandbox-strategy game Europa Universalis IV as a catalyst in the creation of a fantasy setting. The practical-led research will be twofold: the development of a game mod and the development of the world it will be set in. In addition to the main case study above, the research will look at existing literature on worldbuilding as well as a comparative approach on how other successful games have worldbuilt their settings. Keywords: worldbuilding, narrative, strategy, exposition, sandbox, secondary belief PREFACE I first started worldbuilding back in 2014 for the game Europa Universalis IV, set around an event called the Blackpowder Rebellion: an 18th century fantasy setting in which the commonfolk led a revolution against their magical masters with the help of gunpowder weapons.

Unlike the broad open-ended stories that are availa- ble to you in Crusader Kings II or Europa Universalis IV, Hearts of Iron is a ruthlessly focused game. You are not shackled to history, but the game is about World War II and World War II will happen. Of course, the World War II you encounter in a game will bear only a passing resemblance to the one we know from history. Maybe Germany goes after the Soviet Union first, and maybe Italy decides to go its own way in 1938. But Hearts of Iron is still a game about war – preparing for war, researching war re- lated technologies, developing attack plans and then keeping that war machi- ne going until the issue is settled. To this end, Hearts of Iron has a much greater emphasis on military matters than political or economic matters.

  • Europa Universalis IV: Third Rome
    Welcome to Europa Universalis IV: Third Rome hird Rome is the first “immersion pack” for Europa Universalis IV. Immersion packs are a new type of expansion for EU4, intended to bring T greater detail and historical customization to a particular region. For Third Rome, we have chosen to focus on Russia, one of the most popular starting regions for many of our players. Russia is big. It stretches from Lithuania in the West to the Pacific in the East, from the Baltic in the North to the Black Sea in the South. The story of how a princely backwater became one of the most important nations in the world is a colorful one, full of terror and triumph. Third Rome starts with a more detailed map of the Russian region and then adds new government types, new special Russian abilities, and revised idea groups that include a unique colonization mechanic that is better suited to Russia’s historic cross- ing of Siberia than the current Idea System. The title of the immersion pack comes from a letter written by a Russian monk to the Muscovite Grand Duke Vasili III. For this monk, Muscovy was the final bulwark of Christendom after the fall of Rome and Constantinople, so, naturally, the Orthodox Church plays a big part in this expansion. We have also introduced new government types for the princely states of Russia and the local merchant republics, as well as raising the Tsarist government to its own level, on par with other empires, but a thing with special powers of its own.

    Welcome to Rule Britannia uch is made of the unlikeliness of the triumphs of Great Britain in the 18th and 19th centuries. Once a continental power that overawed France, M England fell on hard times by the 15th century. Even the Tudor golden age of English power, when Henry defied popes and Elizabeth defied Spain, were marked by internal division and religious unrest, and the traditions of English freedom were stomped underneath a network of secret informers. But the greatness of Britain is not entirely surprising. Strong nobles usually pro- vided a counter to true absolutism, and the salutary example of Charles I served as a reminder of the ultimate price of running roughshod over the privileges of the English elite. Despite the occasional bloody suppression of northern national spirit, the union between Scotland and England proved a powerful combination. English merchants had easy access to the trade ports of the Netherlands and a location that allowed sailors to take advantage of prevailing currents to the Americas. Most importantly, Great Britain was spared the scorched earth of the continental Religious Wars, and its own periods of disruption were generally shorter and less intense than the Deluge of Poland or the Russian Time of Troubles. It helps to be an island, with a culture of seafaring and ocean battle. Rule Britannia is an Immersion Pack for Europa Universalis IV. It is designed to deepen the experience of playing England or Great Britain, so most of the changes in this pack will heighten gameplay in that region. However, many of the changes are more universal, and will be appreciated by a wide range of nations and play styles.
