Thanks a lot!! I didn't see that before, it's really hard to find it in the store. How did you find it?
There was an ad for it in the eu4 launcher and I accidentally clicked on it. It is hard to find it in the store, because it doesn't have a separate entry. Instead you have to open the main entry for eu4 and click on "buy now".
 
Thanks for the link, it's an amazing good deal (better than the subscription imo). I just miss 2 or 3 DLC, I'm pretty sure that the bundle is less expensive than regular price for them :D

Oh it also exists on Steam!

If you're going to integrate all these DLCs into the base game anyway, what benefits do we get from getting it on Steam early. Is it just slightly earlier access to DLC features?

On an unrelated note, I hope the integration of the QoL and convenience features in Art of War and Common Sense make it easier for the game's mechanics and interface get improvements in the future.
Its better to think of DLCs as funding game development, to be entirely honest.
 
I don't know. I think we'll have to wait and see. The autumn sale will probably also come to the Epic Store. The only question is when. I think there will be something on sale by Christmas at the latest. On the other hand, the 4.99 edition on Steam is already interesting.
 
Big middle finger to the people who have already bought these DLC's before? ;)
I'd say that isn't the case. These are the 4 mainline, "must have," DLC, and I'd argue the game is nigh-unplayable without them in 2024. Making them part of the base game doubles the likelihood that I can convince my friends to get the game, which means that I double the chances of playing with friends and family. As someone whose been playing since 2013 and has bought nearly every DLC, I'm extremely happy because I already have 3 friends planning on buying the game as a result. More chances for fun multiplayer experiences is a good thing, and I am not being billed a second time, so why should I care?

The main benefit is for those who don't already own them. If they were to start a game today without them, their save would break when we update, so this reduces the risk of newer players having their games broken.
Well, new player here, and was unaware of this update coming. So I started a game without the DLC's.
Thankfully, I was aware that the update would break my savegame (ironman), so I would have to rollback to 1.37.4.

Problem now tho, is that 1.37.4 isn't available under beta's :/
 
I've installed the DLCs but they're not showing up in the launcher. Anyone else with this issue?
They are now integrated into the base game and are not shown in the launcher or the single player menu anymore

That is a good point, talking with the development team to add that right now!
 
I have the game on Xbox for pc and the 4 dlcs don't seem integrated in the base game for me?
How did you check? They are part of the base game, so they don't appear in the ingame DLC list. If you want to know that they are working, you can check some of their features. E.g. in the court tab you have abdicate and disinherit buttons if Rights of Man is working and national focus buttons if common sense is working and you can check Art of War by looking at the fleet window to see if you can mothball and upgrade ships

None of the dlc features are there, even though the game updated to 1.37.5

That's weird. Is it possible to look at the folder where the game is installed? There should be a subfolder builtin_dlc. Does it exist and does it have the following contents?
  • dlc001_100_years_war_unit_pack
  • dlc002_horsemen_of_the_crescent_unit_pack
  • dlc004_star_and_crescent
  • dlc005_american_dream
  • dlc006_purple_phoenix
  • dlc008_conquest_of_constantinople_music_pack
  • dlc027_art_of_war
  • dlc038_women_in_history
  • dlc039_common_sense
  • dlc060_rights_of_man
