Recommended Countries(for 2.9update):Japan, Novgorod, France


Common Universalis is a total-overhaul mod that improves original gameplay in almost every aspect. While other mods keep adding new countries, provinces, religions, cultures and other stuffs, Common Universalis focuses on the 'engine'- how all those stuffs work toghter, how the world evolves from 1444 to 1821, and how human and ai players make decisions.

Common Rebalance is the predecessor of Common Universalis.

(CU3.0Beta avaliable!)

As few pictures and musics are included in this mod, Common Universalis is small in size, but its contents in gameplay are just so many and so deep, that players will just forget the original game after playing this mod for long. Here is a list of key factors of this mod, other less important things are not included.

- More than 4 different ways of expansion includes Province Auto-core.

- What are the differences between a large empire and a tiny state? Political things? Economic structure? Province development? Stability? Foreign affairs? Military? All included with full details in this mod.

- Why did the Europeans rush to the new world? How did countries choose from mercantilism and free trade? How could the Ottoman empire conquer the whole Mamluks in just a few years?

What are the strength and weaknesses of the steppe nomads? History has its own logic, so does the game.
