    Europa Universalis IV is Paradox's best strategy game. With Wealth of Nations, the strategy great gets even better. [Aug 2014]

  • With Wealth of Nations, Paradox continues her trend of bringing strong DLC's for its games. WoN enhances the trade mechanics in the game which gives Europa Universalis a new dimension.

  • Wealth of Nations adds quite a bit of both major and minor changes to the grand strategy experience and can make the game feel fresh for even the most experienced long-term fan, which makes it a worthwhile investment, especially for those who have already sunk around 100 hours into the game.

  • Wealth of Nations offers even less scope than Conquest of Paradise, and the changes it introduces are hardly game-changing, yet they’re all thought-out and very appropriate. If you’re going to play as a trade empire, don’t skimp on this expansion.

  • Wealth of Nations adds some additional options to the economic subgame, but is by no means an overhaul. It is an OK expansion, given its limited scope and price.

  • A lot of new content for the fans, but we did not fine some adjustments we kind of expected. It's certainly not a "mandatory" buy.
