As tends to be the case whenever a major Paradox grand strategy game gets a DLC expansion, it’s accompanied by a very large patch that adds stuff for all players. Europa Universalis IV’s Art of War is no exception to this; the conflict-focused add-on has been released with Patch 1.8.
The gigantic patch notes changelog (below) helpfully distinguishes between the features that are only added for those who’ve purchased The Art of War and the additions/fixes which apply to all players.
Here’s a trailer for the new Europa Universalis IV DLC, followed by that massive list. Prepare to exercise your mousewheel if you read through all of this.
