Crown of the North ships

Strategy First has announced the release of Europa Universalis: Crown of the North. The game takes the Europa Universalis series to a new, more-focused setting: Scandinavia of the 13th and 14th centuries. Crown of the North has three playable sides--Sweden, Denmark, and Norway--and it challenges players to increase their political power while quelling intrigues by nobles and the church. It also includes three campaigns set in the Europa Universalis II world.
