Their dlc's have always been overpriced, but there hasn't been one that actually broke the game in years.

Well... Eu4's newest expansion, "Leviathan", has actually broken the game, it is actually unplayable. And the worst part? Even if you don't have the DLC, you're still screwed because the free patch that came with the DLC also breaks the game.

Oh, and also this dlc is 20$.

So please shit on paradox interactive in this thread.

    Oh, no I misunderstood you, yes American Natives still get mistreated and infantilised just as much as before, this dlc fixes nothing besides finally recognizing that Aboriginal People were a thing.

    Asia and Africa are in a much better position now then before at least.

        Also the problem with most strategy games is that the way they model technology as a tree is inherently flawed, just because native Americans didn't have muskets and didn't build cities, doesn't make them technologically inferior to europeans, considering the kinds of canals and systems they made. Unfortunately this isn't modeled in strategy games. Eu4 is actually a bit better than most, because it actually does give different kinds of tech to different cultures, but still does it in a eurocentric way. Well, at least Native American tech is really op if you manage to survive the colonizers.

        You can of course import or create a Sunset Invasion Americas where they start equal in tech to Europe, but even that has issues.

        Crusader Kings might be better suited for you, I think, it only has the old world, but has a lot of what you want, and the second one is free if you've never tried it before
