Quality Over Speed — Our Guide Development Philosophy
Europa Universalis 5 contains hundreds of different nations to play across the globe. We're highlighting 31 nations here at launch—a carefully curated selection representing strategic diversity, player popularity, and beginner-friendly starting positions.
Currently, 10 guides are complete with the remaining 21 marked as "Coming Soon". We plan to add guides for every nation over time as we thoroughly test each one.
Each guide represents 20-40+ hours of gameplay testing to verify strategies, understand mechanics, and catch edge cases. We'd rather take the time to get it right than rush out shallow content that misleads players.
Quality over speed, always. Your trust matters more than our publishing speed.
