A new expansion for Europa Universalis IV has been announced called “Cradle of Civilization”. This time, it focuses on Muslim and Persian empires throughout history. It also covers a wide breadth of land. From the deserts of the Middle East, to the East Asian island expansion. Players will be able to set trade policies, build armies and more.

Paradox Interactive has actually been teasing this new expansion for quite some time. Posting updates on their forums about recent changes. The new announcement however, includes a new trailer making it official.

Key updates with this add-on include:

  • Mamluk Government: In a diverse empire, where the slaves are now masters. New sultans must rely on cultural power to stay viable.
  • Persian Theocracy: Persian nations can use the power of the faith to bolster their regime.
  • Tribal Federations: The Black and White Sheep tribes in Armenia and Mesopotamia must expand. Exploiting the unity of local clans.
