Europa Universalis IV is the newest installment of the Europa Universalis franchise by Paradox Development Studio. It is the grandest of all grand strategy games: manage your empire, control trade, engage in religious conflict, and when all else fails, plunge Europe into warfare with the goal of attaining hegemony. But with so many things to control, and so many nations to subjugate under your enlightened rule, sometimes even the ghost of Louis XIV is not enough to help you get started. Enter the Narrative Strategy Guide for Europa Universalis IV! Follow the story of young Isabella and the entire Trastámara dynasty as they struggle to make Spain the grandest of all countries. Will they succeed in finally defeating their hated rivals, the French? Or will history march on, leaving Isabella and her dynasty as little more than footnotes in the annals of other, greater countries?
