Europa Universalis 5 (EU5) – Review – The Best Europa Universalis Has Ever Been

Europa Universalis V differs significantly from its previous version by starting in 1337, over a century earlier than 1444.

The Black Death begins in 1346 and devastates populations across Europe, Africa, and Asia, wiping out between a third and half of the world’s people. These events have a major impact on the game, presenting difficult early challenges that are well-integrated. The Black Death, in particular, is incredibly harsh, potentially undoing any economic progress you’ve made and forcing you to completely rebuild your economy from a state of chaos.
