The fourth major DLC to the strategy game Europa Universalis III developed by Paradox and published in 2007. The expansion named Divine Wind stays in the same time period as the base-version of the game and takes place between 1453-1789. The title concentrates particularly on the Far East, which influences and slightly changes the gameplay. Moreover, set on the Asian coast of Pacific, the game features dozens of new villages that you can raid.

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.
