Compra Expansion - Europa Universalis IV: The Cossacks PC

Hordes and Eastern Europe take center stage in this strategy simulation expansion for Europa Universalis IV. Players lead hordes by plundering neighbors to maintain tribal loyalty and razing conquered lands for monarch points and unity, with options to reform into settled nations. Estates like the Cossacks bring internal politics to life through unique demands and interactions, while Tengri faith introduces syncretism mechanics for tolerating and switching secondary religions. Deeper diplomatic ties let you set attitudes toward AI allies, share war goals, and gain feedback on their aims. Refine colonies with native policies for trade, assimilation, or subjugation, convert provinces to neighboring cultures, and deploy improved espionage to study tech or incite liberty desires. Strategy enthusiasts who master grand simulation layers will thrive on these horde unity challenges and political depths.

The Cossacks is the sixth major expansion for Europa Universalis IV and focuses on Hordes and Eastern Europe. This addition allows you to plunder your neighbours as a horde in order to keep your tribes loyal and raze their lands to gain power to advance in technology or reform into a settled nation. The internal politics of nations is brought to life with the Estates, representing powerful interests such as the Magnates of Poland-Lithuania and the eponymous Cossacks of the steppe. More detailed control over the cultures and natives living in your nation and the ability to work more closely with your AI allies and understand their goals will let you bring out your inner Peter the Great.
