Features

EU2 Unlimited Time Patch

Current version : 2.0

Europa Univeralis 2 is designed to simulate 1419 to 1820 period. However the same game engine with little modifications can be easily used for much wider period. This utility allows you to design and play any scenario since 0 AD and later on! (Unfortunately BC years are not supported because the game cannot handle negative values).

This patch modifies EU2.exe so future game upgrades may not be working. However original EU2.exe is stored as EU2.backup.exe so you can revert to original executable before upgrading.

EU2 Technology Effects Editor

Current version : 1.2

Technologies in EU2 are partly editable using text files (land.csv...). However some technology effects, e.g. technology necessary to construct artillery, to do assaults, to build manufactories and so on, are hardcoded in the executable. This tool allows you to modify also these values. Editor was tested with english EU2 1.05, 1.06 and all betas 1.06b but it should work with any language version.

EU2 Scenario Generator

Current version : 1.04

This utility will allow you to easily generate a fantasia (Civ-like) scenario according to your settings.

- every country begins with one starting province (or several if Accelerated Start is enabled)
- starting province: random or historical
- religion in provinces: random or historical
- terrain and climate in provinces generated according to user settings
- trade goods in provinces generated according to terrain, climate and continent specifics
- CoT placement generated according to countries starting provinces
- possibility to play with up to 208 countries!
- for each country you can individually specify starting gold, tech, army, navy and so on
- simple map editor where you can manually edit goods, terrain, climate and religion in provinces
- and much more...

Latest News

3/31/2003: New version of Technology Effects Editor is out. It now supports all betas 1.6b. It also supports silent mode (i.e. without user input) which is good for installers: If you use command line option "-s" program automaticaly loads settings from "default.tef" and applies them to eu2.exe.

3/17/2003: Improved version of Unlimited Time Patch is released. It supports all versions of EU2, including latest beta 1.6b. In this version it is no longer necessary to change victory conditions of scenario to "Mission" (like in first version) because now I disabled "End scenario" dialog completely.

2/7/2003: EU2 Technology Effects Editor is now available for download.

4/1/2002: EU2 Scenario Generator is now available for download.

Due to reported problems of some users (on Windows XP) I created new version of EU2 Unlimited Time Patch. This version is different: it actually modifies game executable. Before using this patch please read readme_unlimited_patch.txt file in the archive.
