The game features a number of historical events, such as the Reformation, the Treaty of Tordesillas and the uprising in the Netherlands, which have a significant impact on the game.

Part of the presented world is invisible for the player (terra incognita) – it is however possible to explore individual provinces. The player starts the game on a two-dimensional map, which is divided into provinces and sea zones. The game takes place on a map divided into 3,633 provinces, and proceeds in a pausable real time format.

To facilitate the new game, a new proprietary software engine, known as the Europa Engine, was developed. The game was originally based on a French board game of the same name by Philippe Thibaut that was released in 1993. Europa Universalis is a grand strategy video game developed by Paradox Development Studio and published in 2000 by Strategy First.
