Paradox Interactive today revealed the release date and began offering pre-orders for “Wealth of Nations,“ the second expansion to Europa Universalis IV. Adding a plethora of new trade and diplomacy features to the award-winning grand strategy game from Paradox Development Studio, Wealth of Nations will be officially released on May 29, 2014 for Windows, Mac, and Linux computers.
In order to keep pre-orders free of the trade conflicts and questionable market practices featured in the game, Paradox is taking pre-orders through its newly revamped website and digital storefront.
If you’re the type of person to research routes before heading into choppy waters, this video developer diary highlights the new challenges of Wealth of Nations, including privateering, shipping companies, and covert economic sabotage.
To demonstrate the value that trade allies can have on a growing empire, Paradox today also announced a new weekly live-streaming show that will debut on their Twitch.TV channel, which will focus on the wide variety of games in Paradox’s library. “Paradox Live” will debut today at 3:15PM CEST and air every week in the same timeslot.
