Mods could be made for vanilla only, but then Paradox could miss out on a good deal of money from modules.
It has been said before, in this thread I think, but mods will have all sorts of neat options on what modules to require/include/exclude.
If the "true fan" subforums are definitely to be implemented (I don't think it's such a great idea), at least make those forums visible (as in read-only) to other "normal" fans. This way people could see what have been suggested for further development and how developers responded to those suggestions.
I totally favor expansions when it comes to DLC vs expansion debate, however with the way Paradox presents their mindset and their policy regarding DLC they plan to release in the future, I think this may work nicely. I'm not so sure about its effects on modding community though.

Im pretty concerned about all this and how complicated itll make things in practice, especially for mod makers and users.
Has there been any new developments or comments on this elsewhere since December? Or is still the plan for CK support?
The 'day 1 DLC' for CK2 is fairly underwhelming as well, I'm hoping this isn't indicative of things to come.

I haven't read the whole thread, but Johan's first post sounds awesome! Paradox seems to be doing their best to stay profitable without just "selling out" and selling watered-down, mass-market games like "Total War" or just focusing on consoles.
This is a great idea, and I hope its really successful!

Maybe they thougt about using STEAM workshop only at first?
Look after Minute 01:03 in this video about Skyrim modding how it could work for Paradox games too on STEAM too..

I would just like to thank Johan for the new idea behind the CKII release. Finally us early purchasers are getting rewarded!
Sorry if this has already been asked, but I assume that the modular expansions will be easy to disable or enable selectively for multiplayer games, in the case where some expansions might be common and the players would want to use them, but others either not wanted or only held by some of the players?
Edit - nm. I see this will be possible.

Seeing how this is being implemented with CKII, now that its out and there are DLC's it works great!
There are some questions about using DLC material for CK2 on the modding forum: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?600749-DLC-and-mods...-an-issue&p=13703717#post13703717
I would like to derive some modded material from what is contained in the Mongol DLC but do not want to break any EULA (though as a GG user I never got one AFAIK). What if I wanted to recolor a Mongol man's shirt and put it in a mod for example.
Finally, a bit of confusion on my part about how to require a dlc for my mod to work. On the *.mod file, should the syntax be
Or something else. I am sorry for using this thread, but I wanted it to be on a subforum that would receive an official statement on the matter.

Thank you, Kallocain. It was a topic that got a bit heated over the weekend and I am not alone in wanting an official statement on the issue.
