The game became a surprise hit for its depth and strategy. Paradox used this sudden success to springboard other successful titles such as Victoria, Crusader Kings, and Hearts of Iron. ''Europa Universalis'' was followed by ''Europa Universalis II''. There are currently four other games based on the EU engine:
EUROPA UNIVERSALIS II See Also: Europa Universalis II Developed and published by the same company as its predecessor and released in 2001 , the basic gameplay remains mostly unchanged, but a number of enhancements were added, such as the ability to convert a province's religion, longer timespan (from 1419 to 1820 ), the addition of events that affect gameplay, the ability to play as any nation in the game, and many others. This became what is arguably Paradox's greatest game yet. It was released within a year of the original Europa, leading some software critics to become skeptical of it. However, it achieved high ratings through most leading review sites and becoming one of the few strategy games to be successful outside of its niche market. The company supports it even today, the most recent patch 1.09 came out in December 2005, adding new events and tweaking the gameplay. The enhancements and changes mostly come out of requests of fans in the company online forum . EUROPA UNIVERSALIS II: ASIAN CHAPTERS Due to the lack of emphasis on Asian civilisations in EUII, this addon was published to cater to those more interested in Asia in this time period. However the game was poorly received because of compatibility issues, poor research and bad planning. EUROPA UNIVERSALIS: CROWN OF THE NORTH Not actually an EU engine game, this is an English-language translation of Paradox's older game Svea Rike 3 . This is followed by The Two Thrones , which is virtually the same game, but set instead in the Hundred Years' War . EUROPA UNIVERSALIS III See Also: Europa Universalis III Scheduled for release in 2007. The game includes many new features such as new 3D engine. EXTERNAL LINKS
