Europa Universalis: The Price of Power – Scenarios III Booklet

The scenarios included in this booklet are somewhat experimental and have not been played tested as extensively as we normally do, but since its release as a downloadable PDF and print-on-demand product earlier this year, many of these scenarios have been played a lot by the EU:tPoP community and we have eliminated the typos there were there. However, while the scenarios in this booklet are not exactly off the cuff, they may still have some imbalances here and there.

We have chosen some scenarios that push the envelope of the EU:tPoP system a bit further than we would normally do, because we think that they all provide some really interesting challenges and experiences, and because this release seemed like the perfect opportunity to try out some more experimental content like this.

The Scenarios

Each and everyone one of the scenarios have been picked because we believe that they add something new to the game:

Old and New Pretenders is a low-conflict 4-player scenario which features some of the smaller Realms. It is a good learning scenario, if you have the time available, as there are no huge immediate threats to the players and they are unlikely to be pulled into conflicts with each other early on.

The Italian Job is a tight 2-player scenario which plays out in a very confined geographical space. It can be played both with and without Bots depending on whether or not that is something you find entertaining, and it only lasts for 3 Rounds, so it can easily be completed in an evening.
