“Grand Strategy” games are strategy games with a particularly large scope. Hardly any name is as synonymous with the genre as that of Paradox Entertainment. There is currently a whole bunch of treats for fans of the Swedish strategy geniuses on Steam.
What kind of game is this? Europa Universalis IV is an epic strategy game from Paradox, which was released in 2013 but continues to be updated with new content. The latest expansion, King of Kings, was released on November 6, 2023.
The game allows you to control the fate of an entire nation for four centuries, leading it to glory and wealth. You can do this all weekend long without spending a cent. Because the base game, with 86% positive ratings, is playable for free on Steam for 2 days. Thus, it is among the highest-rated global strategy games on the platform.
If you’ve developed a taste for the game, you can permanently add it to your library for €11.99 (70% discount) until November 13.
The weekend belongs to strategy fans
Who is the deal worthwhile for? The current discount is worthwhile for both completely new players and those who have been around a bit longer. If you already own Europa Universalis IV, you have the opportunity to stock up on expansions.
With the exception of the 3 DLCs from 2023, nearly all expansions are reduced by 50%. The offer ends on Monday, November 13, usually around 7:00 PM. You can save even more by buying several expansions as a bundle.
Currently, for Europa Universalis IV, the starter pack is available for €37.76 instead of €99.96, the Empire Bundle for €129.87 instead of €304.82, and the Ultimate Bundle for €216.29 instead of €472.66. If you want to secure the complete EU4 experience, you can currently save €200.
If you already own individual parts of a bundle, you usually do not have to pay for them again: Steam subtracts the price of the titles, and you can still benefit from the bundle discount.
What else is there? In addition to Europa Universalis IV, Crusader Kings 3 also tempts with a hefty discount. The main game, with 92% positive ratings, is still available for a 50% discount at €24.99 until November 16.
In contrast to EU4, in CK3, you take on the role of a character and can experience exciting stories with your bloodline over several generations. Hardly anyone knows this better than MeinMMO’s editor-in-chief Schuhmann:
Additionally, there are also discounts on Age of Wonders and a few other games published by Paradox Interactive. You can find all the offers on their Steam page. You can still secure most offers until Monday, November 13.
Many games from the strategy geniuses of Sweden have one thing in common: they are damn complex. Often, it takes some time to really get into the game and even then, hardly anyone plays them to the end. The developers are quite proud of that.
