Europa Universalis IV Cossacks expansion released

Today marks the launch of the sixth expansion pack for Paradox grand strategy game, Europa Universalis IV. This expands diplomacy options and focuses powerful groups like the Magnates of Poland-Lithuania and, of course, the Cossacks of the steppe.

Colonial policies let you select an approach to the natives in your colonies, with options such as "trade, assimilation, or subjugation". The expansion also adds new espionage actions that let you spy on the technology of other nations. The Cossacks is out now and available on Steam.
