Europa Universalis IV – Lions of the North DLC Steam Digital Key

A northern expansion for Europa Universalis IV

Lions of the North is a content pack for Europa Universalis IV that focuses squarely on the Baltic Sea region. It gives a run of nations there new mission trees with branching options, so decisions taken early in a campaign lead to genuinely different paths rather than a single fixed route through history.

Denmark can chase unity across the Kalmar Union and dominance of northern trade, Sweden can push for a leading role in Scandinavia, and Norway can strike out as a naval power instead of staying in its neighbours' shadow. Poland, Lithuania and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth get their own routes to uniting the kingdoms, while the Teutonic Order, Livonian Order, Courland, Riga, Danzig, Gotland and Finland each gain their own historical options too.

What the pack adds

Alongside the new mission trees, the expansion brings mechanical and cosmetic additions aimed at the region.

• Unique government reforms for several nations in the area
• New unit types, including Swedish Carolean infantry and Polish-Lithuanian Winged Hussars
• New estate privileges for regional powers
• 35 new unit sprites covering Scandinavian and Baltic nations
• 6 new tracks of Scandinavian and Baltic themed music
