Domination DLC for EU4 Now Available; Overhauls Popular Factions

As announced today marked the release of the Domination DLC for Europa Universalis IV. The expansion refreshes some of the available factions - including the Ottoman Empire, China, Japan, Russia, Spain, France and the United Kingdom.

Domination - new paid DLC

The DLC introduces new mission trees and management options, as well as previously unavailable reforms, events and units (such as samurai, Spanish Tericos infantry and musketeers).

In addition, it enriches the game with fresh graphics and songs. The highlights of the DLC are discussed in the individual videos.

It is worth mentioning that the expansion is collecting very positive reviews on Steam. Admittedly, there aren't too many of them so far - a mere 65 - but 88% are positive. Repetition of Leviathan is therefore unlikely.

Ottomans - free update

But that's not all - along with the Domination DLC Paradox has released a huge update called Ottomans, which upgrades the game to version 1.35. It brought, among other things:

• 3 new idea sets;
• 27 events;
• 21 imperial reforms and decrees each;
• additional ruler, general and admiral personalities;
• 7 grand designs (for the Leviathan DLC);
• 9 achievements;
• changes to the game's balance (regarding economics, religion, unit strength, etc.);
• numerous bug fixes.

The full list of changes can be found here - just click the "Spoiler: Changelog".

Incompatible "saves"

Keep in mind that save game data from Europa Universalis IV version 1.34 will not work after installing update 1.35. To use them, you must select an older version of the game (on Steam by right-clicking on EUIV, selecting "Properties" and then the "Beta" tab).
