Anbennar is a sprawling fantasy mod for Europa Universalis 4 that has been in the works for years. It is a passion project that began as one man's translation of his own D&D fantasy setting into a playable mod, but has grown far beyond its origins into a world shared by multiple authors and one of the most impressive EU4 mods. It completely reinvents the game as a fantasy world with fictional continents, nations, governments, races, and religions.

The latest update, called "Gods and Gears," adds a system for creating magical Artificiery creations and a religion based on them. Also added are vampires and a set of missions for vampire rulers, using new mechanics for EU4 to reimagine how orcs hold territory and how adventurous humans try to conquer it and create their own nations. It also adds new mission trees for several nations, with an emphasis on goblins, gnomes, kobolds, and human guild missions whose mechanics are affected by the addition of magical artifacts.

If Anbennar sounds cool, good news: a version of Crusader Kings 3 is also in the works. Until then, you can find Anbennar for Europa Universalis IV on Steam Workshop; for updates on the mod, you can also follow Anbennar on Twitter.
