Is it worth it or does it get cheaper? Also if I am to get it should I get the normal version, extreme version, or the version with all the DLCs?

Base game is meh. gets exponentially better the more DLCs you add.

get da DLCs!!

Is it worth the money? What do they add?

Also it's on GoG as well for cheaper http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/ca/en/pc/games/strategy/europa-universalis-iv-dlc-collection/#b

Is it actually cheaper or will it be the same since the canadian dollar is ass?

Common sense - Government ranks, subject interactions, religious mechanics
Cossacks - Estates, Horde Unity, Advanced Cultural Genocide, Improved Espionage
Mare Nostrum - Boats, Timeline replay, form the Roman Empire. Sailors!

Does the Greenmangaming version I found come with ALL the DLC? And does it have the base game as well? I'm confused

the Collection on steam actually hasnt been updated since 2014, so no DLC later than 2014 is on there. Sadly they forget you with DLC with all the notable ones being $5-$15 EACH which sucks.

So get the greenmangaming one instead or is it also bad?

i love the stuff out of EU4 and think it's really fun but because of paradox's scummy DLC policy towards EU4 in particular i can't really recommend this game to a friend
i mean they lock so much stuff behind dlc that is required because they break features in the free updates that are "fixed" in the dlc
there are a few additions that are legitimately dlc-worthy (random new world, custom nations, stuff like that) but even then they VASTLY overcharge for it

it's to the point where i will literally never buy a paradox product again - despite how good HoI4 and Stellaris look - because i just don't trust them to not do this stuff again

so no, unless you have a stuffload of money you're willing to throw at the DLC that you had nothing better to do with

or you have a friend with all the DLC then you just buy the base game and he hosts and you have access to it

for a first paradox game yeah
