The development team at Paradox working on Europa Universalis IV is ready to offer more details on the new Wealth of Nations expansion, which was first mentioned during the company's convention last week.

The new content will allow gamers to designate a special new trade capital in one of their ports, separate from the political center of power, in order to attract more wealth, and there are new ways to create inland trade nodes.

Those who like a bit of mischief can also instigate trade conflicts among their competitors in order to secure their own positions.

We already know that Wealth of Nations will also include the ability to create special trade companies to deal with far away partners and a mechanics to create privateers, who are free to plunder the trade fleets of a competitor.

Paradox Interactive says the new expansion for Europa Universalis IV will be launched during spring via digital distribution services.
