how do you enable and watch timelapses in eu4?

I see so many videos of people doing timelaspes like it was in game. How do you watch your country's history as a timelapse?


Solution 1:

The timelapse feature comes with the Mare Nostrum DLC. If you do own this DLC, then it should appear as a small eye icon in the top right of the interface as shown in the images below. Otherwise you'll have to buy the DLC.

The button within the wider context of the interface A zoomed in, but higher quality version

There used to be a fan-made savegame replayer, but I believe it was discontinued a while ago, even before the Mare Nostrum DLC was released.
