Europa Universalis III: The Divine Wind Description
The Divine Wind is another, fourth extension to the third part of the popular, yet complex and acclaimed series of historical strategies Europa Universalis. As in other cycle games, we sit on the throne of one of the hundreds of countries and control its actions on a strategic level - from diplomacy and trade to military. The game combines special fidelity to historical realities with huge possibilities of reversing the course of history.
The add-on does not change the timeframe of events in relation to the basic game, so we are thrown back into the historical reality of the years 1453 - 1789. This time the action takes place mainly in the Far East, whose reality is reflected in the game. A special role in the governance of China or Japan, for example, is played by the internal instability of both states - in the latter case we start as one of the four daymoes, and our aim is to gain influence at the imperial court and take control of the Shogunat.
Dozens of new provinces on Asia's Pacific coast are also waiting to be conquered. Among the many improvements are new options for the art of diplomacy and a whole set of new buildings to be erected in our cities. The multiplayer mode has also been extended - this time up to 32 players can face each other. The wars are conducted on a much more detailed map, which has been graphically redesigned and designed in a slightly different style.
The Divine Wind requires for operation not only the contents of the Europa Universalis III: Complete kit, but also the latest extension of Heir to the Throne.
Note: Cenega Poland released Heir to the Throne and Divine Wind in Europa Universalis III: Fight for Tron. The price of this set was PLN 59.90 on the day of the premiere.
