Voltaire's Nightmare turns the Holy Roman Empire into a world-sized experience. With Central Europe expanded to more than 2000 provinces and 600 countries, the scale of the Empire feels tangible, and the task of uniting it more than a small diplomatic challenge.

At game start, the Empire consists of 368 states, 74 Free Cities, 3 Confederations (The Hanseatic League, the Decapole, and the Swiss Confederacy), 7 electors, and Emperor Friedrich of Styria - regent to the thrones of Austria and Tirol

The Reformation has been expanded into four waves - Lutheranism, Anabaptism, Zwinglianism, and Calvinism, each allowing centers of reformation and using Protestant mechanics. Meanwhile, the starting map features the Waldensian heresy with a unique Patron Saint system and the Czech Hussites, who can select a secondary religion.

Government Ranks have been increased to 6: County, Margraviate, Duchy, Principality, Kingdom, and Empire
New government types include Swiss 'Cantons', Italian monarchies with a Guelph/Ghibelline faction system, and Abbacies distinct from Bishoprics

Central Europe now has over 80 cultures spanning 15 groups, based on Linguistic divisions, as well as dozens of new Trade Nodes starting in the Mediterranean and ending at the rich Northern trade ports
Though many New World and Asian trade goods have been removed, an equal amount have been added to enrich the flavor of European trade, including metals like Silver and Tin or luxury goods like Amber and Books
Trade Companies are present as well, allowing you to establish rich trade empires in Italy or the Balkan coast

New Idea Sets further develop the Empire's flavor, including Turkish and Frisian piracy, while irrelevant default idea groups like Exploration have been reimagined to deal with more general affairs.

The core EU4 gameplay is preserved as best as possible, though various balance tweaks have been added to facilitate large-scale HRE gameplay. HRE territory no longer carries an Aggresive Expansion bonus, unit movement speeds have been greatly increased, and the Emperor can only demand Unlawful Territory from his rivals

Music: EU3 Track "Handland Wanderer" "Land of Glory"
