[John the John]

Since in the real world, there is no gold mine in Iberia

Yes, there is:

[Pauperkoning]

Wondering if Granada is also gonna get some love here

 

[Mcwynne]

Excellent choice for an immersion pack! As for the accompanying music I'm expecting you dust off that meme and invite three composers for their personal take on Falalan! You know you want it.

If I Iberia finally get's some attention, will that mean that the gold mine there finally get's removed ?

Since in the real world, there is no gold mine in Iberia

In Spain there war important gold and silver (and copper) mines, but i don know if it have been all explotes in that period.

Next week @neondt will do what he does best with the upcoming map changes in 1.28.

Iberia? FINaLLY! Damn, Granada needs more powar. 10 provinces Granada awaits in next patch then.

 

[Sylas]

So Iberia as an Immersion Pack and maybe later the HRE as a DLC. It'll be OK for me

 

[RickMP80]

I would like Italy but Iberia is good choice.

 

[sprewell]

Noooo! But what about the HRE!

The HRE will be Spanish !!

The most underwhelming dev diary, for the most underwhelming patch.

You can always ask for your money back.
Seriously, it's common that after a patch release that they say their plans for bugs and show us a picture of the upcoming update. The only things underwhelming are @DDRJake has shown us pictures that are too easy to figure out what the next DLC covers and when I saw in the DD that the Poland's tree expands on forming the Commonwealth, but the only new mission was to take over central Sweden. But it was a free update and I can go conquer Pommerania and Lubeck for cleaner borders and a richer trade node, so no big deal.
On a side note, I started playing an Aragon game, but the voices in my head told me to wait.

 

[Malatesta]

It's Iberia, then. The provinces are Algarve, Sevilla and Huelva.

No, Lepe

[Geodynamis]

It is about time they made an Iberian Immersion Pack. I hope they touch up the Maghreb while they're at it.

The mine you’re referring to is representing the Almadén mercury mine which was the largest in Europe. It would maybe make sense to change the trade good but whatever works, works.

Gold Mines in EU4 represent Silver as well as Gold. Spain was a source of Silver since Roman times.

H-R-E *dum dum dum* H-R-E *dum dum dum* H-R-E *dum dum dum* Unique mechanics for HRE please!

 

[Van Kasten]

I hope that not only Spain and Portugal will be touched, but also southern France, Italy and Maghreb.

It’s an Immersion Pack, not a full DLC. You cannot condense two different and important areas like Spain and Italy into one Immersion Pack.

I would like Italy but Iberia is good choice.

I sincerely hope Italy will be touched in the future DLC along with the HRE. It would be perfect. Southern Italy might be touched a little in this patch, since does not need unique mechanics (but it lacks flavor nonetheless). Northern and Central Italy are another thing and must be intensively improved.

 

[Ain-Soph Aur]

Feedback from a large number of Chinese players who are not proficient in English: the Chinese region is not well simulated and the gaming experience is not good...

But I personally strongly support the changes to the Iberian Peninsula! Obviously, there is a need for a change that is more in line with its historical status! Love is needed here!

 

[Natz]

Good! Just what Iberia needs, an immersion pack hopefully packed with flavor and a map rework. Very happy, not gonna lie though, was hoping for a DLC so we could get a rework to colonization and hopefully the new world, but that was asking a lot
Now I just hope the next DLC is Italy/ HRE, both of which require more work than Spain, so it's DLC appropriate.

In any case thanks for going for Iberia, I'll enjoy replaying all 3 majors

 

[GenericUser]

I hope there will be some flavour for the Italian peninsula as well

 

[metroncho]

A patch long overdue. But it´s better late than never. Do it and take my money
