Access to estates[edit | edit source]
Not all nations have access to all available estates. The reasons can vary from not being in the right geographical area, not being of a certain religion and so on – further details on this are available under each estate’s section.
Additionally, some government types do not have access to the estates mechanics at all (they have other mechanics instead):
- Pirate Republic
- and Venetian Government
- Veche Republic
- Siberian Native Council
- Sich Rada
- Native Council
- Revolutionary Republic, Revolutionary State and Revolutionary Empire
- Celestial Empire if Mandate of Heaven is disabled
- Colonial Nation

Age of Discovery[edit | edit source]
At the dawn of the Early Modern era new continents are being mapped while feudal society is slowly giving way to centralized states.For an enterprising state this age can see the foundation of a worldwide empire.
The Age of Discovery is the age initially present in the game, starting (technically) in 1400, and lasting until 10 years following the appearance of Protestantism. During this age, religious rules are valid (i.e. the special Curia abilities).
Possible age disasters include: Castilian Civil War, Peasants’ War, War of the Roses.

Claims & Warfare
The espionage-based claims system in EU4 was always a rather imperfect and peculiar approximation of historical reality. Even up to the 18th century, strategic marriage was the preferred instrument of territorial acquisition for any ambitious state. So EU5 should emphasise the critical importance of royal marriages and inheritance for generating claims. Once you have a claim in hand, foreign nations can pledge to support or even oppose it, perhaps sparking an international crisis.
Given the centrality of warfare to the series, Paradox could significantly improve it by introducing new unit types and a supply system similar to Imperator. Nations would also ‘pledge’ a percentage of their armies and income to a war, depending on many factors such as trust. The rest of the army would remain neutral to prevent every conflict from escalating into all-out bitter struggles. Another possible mechanic would allow you to decline to engage in an unfavourable battle. You can either stand and fight or immediately withdraw.

EU4 made interesting strides in the realm of warfare, especially in re-working the significance and impact of forts, but these are strategic (and peace-time) decisions. Imperator showed that there is a way of making grand strategy combat more tactical and interesting without going into the weeds of a Hearts of Iron-style system, and it would be good to see a sequel incorporate these newer ideas.

Strategy[edit | edit source]
The below is one of many player suggested strategies for Persia. Bear in mind, due to the dynamic nature of the game, it may unfold differently for other players.
Depending on the country used and position you are in, your path as Persia will differ.
The Persian mission tree is fairly powerful, especially regarding permanent claims as well as
gaining permanent modifiers applicable for the remainder of the game. It is therefore advised to carefully map out one’s progress given these powerful bonuses.
Moreover, be sure to analyse the «National decisions» for those that provide permanent modifiers valid until the end of the game. Some require certain provinces in order to take the decision, for example «Rekindling the Royal Fires» which provide a substantial +20% increase in manpower in true faith provinces.
To form Persia it’s suggested to start as Ajam, which is generally the easiest path. Also, Persia is the tag most suitable to convert to Zoroastrianism and gain from its unique bonuses, especially coupled with the deus vult from Religious ideas as no one in the world will share it’s religion.
Make sure Afghanistan is defeated as early as possible and Herat taken. If they are left alone, they often will grow and be quite powerful. After you have taken care of the minors in the area, you can expand in many directions. Expanding into Afghanistan and Baluchistan have the benefit of having Iranian Cultures. You can expand into the Caucasus and either vassalize the Christians, or annex them to strengthen the Dhimmi estate. Make sure you expand north before Russia gets there.
Expanding West though, is most fun. You can play the Ottomans and Mamluks against each other in their battle for Syria, while you bite off chunks of Mesopotamia. Many of these provinces have Kurdish Culture, but for the Arab provinces, you can convert them to any of the Iranian cultures. If the Mamluks end up winning over the Ottomans, a good late game ally is Spain, since they often rival the Mamluks.
Make sure you convert all provinces to Shia, besides maybe Yazd. The Zoroastrians usually don’t cause problems. When expanding west into Mesopotamia, don’t forget to build good forts. Unlike the mountainous plateau of Persia Proper, Mesopotamia’s flat terrain makes it really easy for enemies to roll over.
An alternative is to build Persia into the premiere Trade power in Asia. Once formed, Persia has the optimal position to monopolize high value silk Trade Nodes as well as other key nodes in Arabia and Africa. Conquer the East African Coast, Arabia and Central Asia to transfer a significant trade income into the Persian Node. Using trade companies and the Trade idea group Persia can build a very healthy early game trade income. If the player is playing tall this base can be built into a massive 400/month income without too much additional conquest. If the player wishes to play a more conquest oriented game Persia is optimally suited for this as well. After formation Persia will have some tough wars to fight and substantial development to stay modern. If the player waits till around 1530 to launch major offensive operations they will be on par with those in the West and 2 tech levels ahead of those in the East. Dont attack in the West and try to build a long term alliance with either the Mamluks or Ottomans. Slowly reduce the Timurids or whoever controls the Eastern Iranian area. After that roll into India. India should be controlled by 5 or 6 nations that have big outdated armies. Defeat them and take a few provinces but mainly take money. Rinse and repeat until you control the whole sub-continent. At this point your trade income will be extremely high and you can do whatever you want going forward.
Types[edit | edit source]
The bonus and the allowed decisions are listed for each type of advisor.
Hiring a level 3 advisor enables the trigger of an advisor event.
With the Women in History DLC activated, any of the advisors can be generated as female. The chance is flat 2% across the board. There are also some events that can add a female advisor to the pool. These advisors have a silver border around their portrait, as opposed to a golden one. The game allows advisors to be restricted to one gender, but the base game doesn’t do this.
Administrativeedit | edit source
Administrative advisors help in situations that are regarded as domestic policy. Their job is to improve a nation internally: reforming the tax system and promoting cultural patronage are two examples.
| Advisor | Effects | Decisions | Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Artist | Stability cost modifier: −10% | ||
| Inquisitor | Missionary strength: +2% | 90% reduced spawn rate on province not following the owner religion | |
| Master of Mint | Yearly inflation reduction: +0.10 | ||
| Natural Scientist | Production efficiency: +10% | ||
| Philosopher | Yearly prestige: +1 | ||
| Theologian | National unrest: −2 | ||
| Treasurer | National tax modifier: +10% |
Diplomaticedit | edit source
Diplomatic advisors address matters related to the navy in general and foreign policy. Their job is to promote naval advancement as well as conducting foreign diplomacy: increasing a nation’s trade competitiveness and improving diplomatic relations are two examples.
| Advisor | Effects | Decisions | Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colonial governor | Tariffs: +10% | The province owner:
|
|
| Diplomat | Improve relations: +20% | ||
| Naval reformer | Morale of navies: +10% | The province has a port.
The province owner is not primitive. |
|
| Navigator | Colonial range: +20% | The province owner: | |
| Spymaster | Spy network construction: +25% | ||
| Statesman | Diplomatic reputation: +1 | ||
| Trader | Trade efficiency: +10% |
Militaryedit | edit source
A military advisor’s sole function is to enhance a nation’s military, offensively or defensively. Thus, their job involves improving a nation’s army and overall defensiveness against foreign attackers: implementing logistical reforms and increasing resistance to sieges are two examples.
| Advisor | Effects | Decisions |
|---|---|---|
| Army Organizer | Land force limit modifier: +10% | |
| Army Reformer | Morale of armies: +10% | |
| Commandant | Discipline: +5% | |
| Grand Captain | Land maintenance modifier: −10% | |
| Master Recruiter | National manpower modifier: +10% | |
| Military Engineer | Fort defense: +20% | |
| Quartermaster | Reinforce speed: +33% |

Structure[edit | edit source]
Areas
Each ordinary land province belongs only to one area, which belongs to one region, which itself belongs to one super-region (also referred to in-game as subcontinent). This makes it easier to discern at a glance what «makes up» a region and a province’s value when considering mission goals, territorial claims, , etc. The smallest of the groupings — the area — comprises two to five provinces. They are usually based on historical context and have a tendency to be around the same development levels within their region. The division of provinces into areas is the basis for the states and territories mechanic.
In addition to those groupings, every land province (including wastelands) also belongs to one continent. Continents bear no special relationship to regions or super-regions, and even areas can cross continental borders.
Every sea province belongs to an area within a region, but these sea regions do not have any super-region. Sea regions are the basis for many that do not involve trade nodes.
Overlapping regions may be added to the game by modding a special file, but are not present in the unmodded game.
Note: A super-region and a continent bearing the same name do not necessarily have the same scope.
Regional namingedit | edit source
If a nation owns land which is disconnected from its capital, it will display the nation’s name following the location’s name. The feature can be turned on/off through the General Options sub-menu.
The name of the location depends on its size:
- Exclaves that are part of the same region as the capital will still display the nation’s name. Example: France.
- Exclaves that are small and belong mostly to one area will add the area’s name. Example: French Alexandria.
- Exclaves that are large and belong mostly to one region will add the region’s name. Example: French Egypt.
- Exclaves that are very large, with no one region containing half its provinces will add the super-region’s name. Example: French Middle East.
Viewing modesedit | edit source
- Main article:
When using the Area, Regions, or Subcontinents map modes, hovering over any province will reveal which area, region, subcontinent and continent it belongs to.
There are three map modes that are used to view some of the groupings. The Areas map mode will color code all the areas, and the Regions map mode will color code all the regions, highlighting only the region’s areas when selecting a certain region. The Subcontinents map mode colors the provinces according to which subcontinent they belong to.
Преимущества системы[]
Главными преимуществами Универсалиса являются свобода действий и нулевое время подготовки. В этой системе можно разыгрывать любой сюжет, в любом мыслимом мире, и все детали игры решаются сразу за столом. Играть по выдуманному только что миру так же легко, как и по заранее прописанному (одним ли из игроков, в других ли ролевых играх, в книгах, кино…).
Хотя правила Универсалиса объяснены примерно на 90 страницах, их можно рассказать не знакомому с системой человеку за 10-15 минут. Будучи игрой повествовательной, Универсалис походит не только для традиционных ролевиков, но и для любых заинтересованных людей с воображением.
Универсалис не требует дополнительных вложений, кроме разве что покупки фишек-монет, если участвующие хотят играть более стильно. Достаточно иметь карандаш и бумагу для записи фактов и что-то в качестве монет (хоть пуговицы). Дополнительных книг также не требуется.
State edicts
In each state, a state edict can optionally be enacted. This applies a bonus to all owned and cored provinces in the state, including any territorial cores. All edicts cost +200% state maintenance.
Once enacted, an edict cannot be adjusted for one year. After this time has passed, it becomes possible to remove or replace the edict.
The ‘States & Territories’ page on the ledger shows the current edict for each state, if any, and the State Edicts map mode colours states according to the currently active edict. These can be useful for keeping track of edicts in a large country with many states.
The first three ages each have a special edict associated with them. These edicts can be unlocked by spending on the relevant age ability, but such edicts will only be usable until the end of that age.
List of available edicts
| Edict | Effect |
|---|---|
| Advancement Effort | +33% Institution spread |
| Centralization Effort | −0.03 Monthly autonomy change |
| Defensive Edict | +33% Local defensiveness |
| Encourage Development | −10% Local development cost |
| Feudal De Jure Law |
−5
Available only in the Age of Discovery with the «Feudal De Jure Law» Splendor ability. Local unrest |
| Religion Enforced |
+90%
Available only in the Age of Reformation with the «Religion Enforced» Splendor ability. Resistance to reformation |
| Edict of Absolutism |
−0.25
Available only in the Age of Absolutism with the «Edict of Absolutism» Splendor ability. Monthly devastation |
| Increased Enlistment | +25% Local manpower modifier |
| Protect Trade | +50% Local trade power |
| Enforce Religious Unity | +1% Local missionary strength |
Splendor[edit | edit source]
In its expanded form, each age contains seven period-related objectives, which when fulfilled, grants nations +3 power projection and +2 monthly splendor (per objective). Splendor may then be used to purchase age-specific abilities, which are various temporary bonuses a nation can activate for the remaining period of that age. The age-abilities are divided into 7 general abilities, which can be taken by any nation, and 4 nation-specific abilities, which may only be taken by the indicated nation—these reflect countries that were historically powerful during the active age period. When a given age ends, all accumulated splendor and all previously purchased abilities disappear while power projection gained from objectives starts waning—thus resetting the table for the new age.
Some objectives, once achieved, may then be lost (for example, if «have 2 personal unions» objective was achieved and then one of those unions ended). A lost objective will no longer grant extra splendor. It can be achieved again to resume splendor gain.
There is giving +1.5
Monthly splendor.
Golden Eraedit | edit source
A nation managing to complete at least 3 objectives in a given age may, once per campaign, enter a golden era period for the nation lasting 50 years.
During a golden era a nation gets the following benefits:
| −10% | All power costs | |
| +10% | Morale of armies | |
| +10% | Morale of navies | |
| +10% | Goods produced modifier | |
| +5% | Maximum absolutism | |
| +10% | Maximum revolutionary zeal |
Смысл победы
Итак, зачем проходить через всё это? Даже, если получится пережить войну, вы 5-10 лет потратите на сражения и потом ещё 10-20 лет будете разгребать последствия. Только, чтобы остаться в прежнем положении.
Разве что, это не совсем так. В Europa Universalis подходящее время для действий в итоге заканчивается. Тот, кто гонял вас по всей карте в 1480, воспользовался наилучшей возможностью. У него был подходящий альянс, подходящая дипломатическая ситуация, подходящие технологии, подходящая армия и командиры. Если вы переживёте всё это, вряд ли противник когда-нибудь впредь будет представлять такую угрозу. Тем более, что он бросил все свои ресурсы на ваше уничтожение. А вы выстояли.
