Should relations continue to deteriorate towards a boiling point, King Philippe VI may require the support of his subjects, although more than one ambitious Appanage hailing from the old royal line may seize on the opportunity to demand greater privileges, proving a greater threat to the stability of the crown than any invading claimant. The upcoming years will be consequential for the future of France, having to face the external English menace and the proud French lords at once. Will the country fall to the fake pretenders, or emerge as the main power in Europe?

A cool new feature of EU5: We have a ‘fixed DNA’ system, so certain important historical characters have their faces pre-scripted to look as close as possible to their historical portraits. We have already implemented this for important starting historical rulers, such as Philippe VI of France, and other important characters that can appear via event, e.g. Martin Luther.

As usual, please consider all UI, 2D and 3D Art as WIP.

France is already the biggest country in Europe in 1337, so I’ve opted to share with you 3 zoom levels today. In the second one, you can see how the forts look like at this moment.
