The grandest of grand.

<span class="bold">Europa Universalis III Complete</span>, among the grandest of grand strategy games, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com. Get 66% off your game, or an entire <span class="bold">75% off if you get it alongside the DLC Collection.</span>

The Europa Universalis series is, without a doubt, one of the most legendary and influential grand strategy titles ever released. It singlehandedly spawned a generation of Paradox Interactive titles including Hearts of Iron, Crusader Kings and Victoria - all the while remaining the most well-rounded strategy simulator out there. Europa Universalis III is a great starting point on your grand strategy adventure, it'll give you the opportunity to learn the basics and try the many facets of Paradox's signature gameplay - and perhaps move on to a deeper, more focused experience. Or perhaps you enjoy being the lord of every domain. The choice, as always in Europa Universalis III, is truly yours.

You can also pick up the <span class="bold">DLC Collection.</span>, full of additional content and full blown expansions including Heir to the Throne and Divine Wind.

<span class="bold">Europa Universalis III Complete</span> is now DRM-free on GOG.com, the launch discount will last for 5 days, until Tuesday, October 13.

How can it be "complete" when it has a DLC next to it? :P

It's seriously complicated :)
Cool.

It is on FireFlower, so it was obviously coming here once Paradox was signed. Grabbing...

Keep on releasing the Paradox catalogue of strategy games. They are really fun and challenging. This one has to be bought together with the DLC pack. It is well worth it. I'm glad to be able to get these DRM free.

I believe you it is, but really it shouldn't be.
One of the things that all GOGers like is true complete versions.
If this was the case for EU4 that still has DLCs in the making it would be ok, but it isn't ok for EU3 for which development is finished for a long time now.

But in overall, yeah, thanks for bringing another great game into GOG catalog. ;)

Paradox released a complete edition and then later added another two expansions to the series. As result there is also a Chronicles edition, which includes everything and is the true complete edition. Question to me is why gog not just released that version instead to start now also for older games this stupid buy DLC-addon-packages thingy.

Wow, that's a lot of DLCs
A great game... have it elsewhere and at this point won't add it here. Still nice if you don't have it and like grand strategy games...

In case some people just want to pay less for the core(-ish) game, instead of paying more for the DLC-avalanche edition ?
Probably the "Complete" Edition that annoyed me most in the past.

I don't understand why are you (and Paradox) still rolling with it after so many years and don't just rename it to something else.
The most obvious explanation would be to confuse and mislead people and get them buy something that's not really complete so they need to buy additional things later.

Problem with older Paradox games is that the latest patches are always for the latest addon, that means you will in general the complete package and not just the vanilla game or the first addons.

Edit: For older games I prefer the careless package in any way, we're talking about maybe 2-3 bucks on sale you would save to get a main game with less features.

I was wondering when this would finally show up. Odd that they went for Complete instead of the actually complete Chronicles. I've only ever played Chronicles, so looking through those screenshots seemed totally foreign to me!
