Voltaire’s Nightmare

Here are ShyGuy13 and ratkus, co-developers of Voltaire’s Nightmare 2 for EU4. Since the announcement of EU5, we have been eager to develop our mod in the new game, as we were often limited by the technical circumstances and boundaries in EU4. However, with EU5, we will be able to take our project to a new level, calling it Voltaire's Nightmare 3.

At this stage, we would like to hold back on any in-game teasers until development has progressed further and we have something spectacular to show. Instead, we can give you an insight into our vision: to create the most detailed and accurate representation of the Holy Roman Empire in a grand strategy game.

The highlighted area shows the planned scope of Voltaire's Nightmare 3.

To begin with, we will show you a few values for comparison regarding the level of detail in EU5 and our modifications. We have roughly calculated what one pixel on each locations map represents in reality:

Europa Universalis V: 2.673 km2
Voltaire’s Nightmare 2: 1.732 km2
Voltaire’s New Nightmare: 0.430 km2
Voltaire’s Nightmare 3: 0.038 km2
