This week on the blog, a look at the historical assumptions that underlie the popular historical grand strategy game Europa Universalis IV. In this first part, we're looking at the role of states in the game and what that means for EU4's model of history.https://acoup.blog/2021/04/30/collections-teaching-paradox-europa-univeralis-iv-part-i-state-of-play/ …
I am hoping here to reach both fans of @E_Universalis and other @PDX_Dev_Studio games who want to understand the vision of history they are advancing, but also folks unfamiliar with these games, to make the argument that there is a historical vision here worth interrogating.
Because I'd argue that PDX's games - while they have their shortcomings and problems, as all things do - do advance a theory of history (sometimes a good theory, sometimes not) in a serious way that relatively few other historically set games do.
Going to save this for when I can grab a mug of tea, relax and read it thoroughly. Which will likely be after I've played through my current Stellaris save.

Ohhhh, I'm really interested in this! I think it's important to examine the assumptions that historical games actually make about history. Thank you so much for doing this topic!
I just finished reading your article. This was absolutely amazing and really got me thinking more closely about how the game portrays states and history, and of what it chooses not to portray. Thank you so much for doing this series, I can't wait for more!
Excellent work, very informative and interesting! I’m going to save this for additional readings for my research methods course to illustrate how our preferences and choices of presentation can both illustrate and hide specific things and processes.
Thanks! I'm always glad if my writing can help in teaching contexts.
This sounds really interesting. I would look forward to your thoughts about the model of historicity implicit in the Clausewitz Engine, especially as writ amongst the stars.
