Atlantis dlc when?

[suplanter]

Just thinking about what kinds of crazy dlc we could expect. Atlantis makes perfect sense. Hell you can kind of find them in eu4. I always enjoy when paradox sends us a wild card or two. I know it isn't for everyone but I love sunset invasion. Something so satisfying about watching the pope get sacrificed.

What kinds of fantasy dlc (if any) would you like to see?

I think Atlantis dlc is out of the question because of time frame

Game starts at the end of 4th century B.C., Atlantis (even considering it as something historical, which honestly it is not), would require start date moved back for like 9.000 years, if we use Plato's description.

Haha yeah it would have to be like a revival of Atlantis or something. But that's why it is fantasy. That would at least make sense than ancient Americans invading, or African hordes coming from the lands beyond the Sahara.

Sunset invasion intesifies

I hope they add the Richat Structure as a natural easter egg on the edge of the map since it has a few strong ties to the theory of Atlantis

Considering the s***storm that happened at the ck2 forum in the wake of Sunset Invasion I'd be surprised if they did Atlantis

This.


Also, there is already a lot of things to do about the regions on the map. The lack of personality of most of the map is already striking before release, I can't imagine how it will feel after the first 100 hours in game.
Some features will probably have to be reworked entirely - such as the religion system - so I think it would be a bad idea to release fantasy DLCs before the game is in a satisfying state (let's say 2 years from now). When it's time I think I would enjoy some kind of mythological version of history (a bit like the Animal Kingdoms in CK2, but with mythical creatures and gods).


However it shouldn't be too hard to mod in an addendum to the map, as well as fancy atlantean mechanics. However, since this game is essentially about map painting, the perspective of playing in a remote island isn't very exciting. In CK2 you're playing as a family, and you can survive under aztec rule, just like you can survive the mongols without having to defeat them. But in a game like Imperator, if you have a big invasion force and are defeated, there's nothing on the horizon other than frustration and game over. So Atlantis in Imperator cannot be that either.
Fantasy isn't an excuse to limit suggestions to "aha ah Atlantis would be so fun" imo. What exactly would it add to the game?

 

[Vollheld]

I actually thought about making an Atlantis mod, but I'm afraid that I have no time to do it.
So maybe anyone else could do this, plz?

 

[DukeDayve]

Well, CK2 had the Sunset Invasion to spice up the late game... so EU: Imperator: Rome 2 should have a similar thing.

I suggest...

THE SEA PEOPLE!

Nobody really knows who they were, they may have come from somewhere off-map. Like ancient era Vikings, coming in on their boats, raidin' and a pillagin'. Yeah.

I mean... why not?

 

[Smokez83]

I'm not adverse to the idea, I like the concept of it being similar to Sunset Invasion - no conquerable place, but a force from off map comes in to conquer. However, I agree with what Ezumiyr was saying regarding reworks etc. The game may well play fantastically in the studio etc, but once it is released properly, there will be a lot to consider first, various tweaks to balance the game and sort out exploits etc that will inevitably exist, for example. I would like to see some nod to the mythological side of the era, but I also feel there will be other things to look at first, expanding the religion, ship based warfare, inevitably flavour packs to enhance existing factions/cultures etc.

I like the idea,but Atlantis shoudl be a pseudo greek/roman styled civilization from the sea , I guess it coudl come only after a good naval expansion dlc , together with a true random world generator that creates new geographies and fantasy names and civilizations , that would be cool.

 

[Styo]

No, just no. That could be a mod, but for sure not a DLC.

 

[commander_todd]

No, just no. That could be a mod, but for sure not a DLC.

Yes, we don't need stuff like this.Instead they should add more historical flavour.

 

[TheMind]

No, just no. That could be a mod, but for sure not a DLC.

Who the hell would pay for that DLC rofl

Aren't we a few thousand years too late for those? Even if they were more than a historical theory to explain the bronze age collaps?

 

[Delta5ff]

Maybe something with an Amazonian theme?

 

[Exemplar Voss]

When you can point to it on a map and run through its history, rulers and accomplishments in the relevant years, it might be worth talking about.

I'm not in favour of fantasy DLCs so soon after the release, but I would gladly pay for any DLC that brings variety and polished content to the game, being historical or not, provided I enjoy the game of course.
Obviously most people would prefer to see what's already in the game to be enhanced and populated by different features, but just look at CK2. Most DLCs actually added fantastical elements to the game, and I'm pretty confident most people enjoy them.

Maybe something with an Amazonian theme?

I think it could be part of a "mythic" version of the world. Amazons, Atlanteans, Frost Giants, Dwarves, people of the Sidhe... There's a lot of potential for ancient era fantasy mods or Holy Fury-like randomized maps.

Honestly, it's equally as realistic as the sunset invasion dlc, but I'd rather have dlcs fleshing out the barbarians in spain, gaul, brittain, germania, pannonia, dacia, etc. or dlcs fleshing out armenia, pontus, persia, bactria, sogdiana, etc.

 

[Hisky0]

There are lots of snazzy mythical elements that can be interwoven here - knowing Paradox, there's GBs of extra content to come. Think of the Amazons or other potential nomadic tribes. Personally the addition of an actual world map might be a potential? I don't think it's unfeasible to implement it if they tried. Another interesting element to add would be more wonders like the gates of Alexander (depending on time period) or the possibility to actually BUILD the wonders yourself as a tile addition like the Statue of Zeus etc.
