Many of these options include new “branching missions'' which allow greater variety and replayability as you explore different alternate histories through the decisions you make.

Europa Universalis IV: Lions of the North includes new mission trees for:

• Denmark: The leader of the Kalmar Union desires unity in the kingdom and can pursue commercial and political dominance of the Hansa and Northern Sea trade regions.

• Scandinavia: A united northern nation will have a wide range of new options to project its power as the cold lands of the region get more developed.

• Livonian Order and Courland: Follow the path of the Crusader to rival your heretic neighbor or secularize your state.
