Montreal, Quebec. Wednesday, July 9, 2003– Strategy First and Paradox
Entertainment announced today that their latest real-time strategy title,
Europa Universalis: Crown of the North has gone gold and is on track to be
released July 22nd.
“This is a must for any fan of the Europa series or anyone who loves deep
strategic games,” Says Steven Milburn, Director of Marketing at Strategy
First. “Plus the added bonus of being able to play three new mod campaigns
for Europa Universalis II right out of the box is essential for all budding
conquerors.”
From the developers of the award-winning Europa Universalis I and II and
Hearts of Iron, comes the all-new Europa Universalis: Crown of the North
that takes place in the years between 1275 and 1340 in a time where nobility
and the church held all the power and Sweden was about to launch into its
only civil war. Play as Norway, Sweden or Denmark and plot to change the
historical legacy of a region seldom explored.
Game Features Include
a.. Choose between 3 kingdoms (Sweden, Denmark, Norway) and 6 different
factions
b.. Survive the treacherous political intrigues of medieval politics
c.. Develop your kingdom into an economic, political and military power,
but be careful not to alienate the church, nobility, peasants or the
merchant class on your way to supremacy
d.. Includes 3 new fully playable campaigns set in the Europa Universalis
II world: the Alternative Grand Campaign, Independent Europe and Vinland
e.. Play through LAN or the Internet against friends
