The pacing has been improved, giving you incremental goals to work toward, without opening up the unrealistic possibility that you might have guns already when the Europeans show up.Īs the nomadic Sioux, I migrated from province to province across the Great Plains, before finally settling my capital against the defensible Rocky Mountains and expanding out as a true native empire to rival the Aztecs. While playing as Native Americans in vanilla Europa Universalis IV was an exercise in patience (and in eventually getting your land stolen), Conquest of Paradise has completely revamped the gameplay for its expanded roster of playable tribes. I'll never forget the day my free Native American kingdom kicked the French completely off of our continent over a diplomatic insult.
