Sweet, been wanting to play as a republic for ages :)

Sounds like trade posts are held by the families, and not by the country, I wonder if that applies to the cities you occupy along the coast as well? It would make sense seeing as you need a trade post first to get the casus belli, and it'd mean your game wouldn't be "put on hold" once you lose an election as Doge.

I started out writing this post with loads of questions, but then realised its pointless since everyone only has the same info as me. I really want to know about 'trade' as this is something Id love to do in CK2, letting a ruler amass a vast wealth beyond the output of his territories. I wanted to know if there will be actually trade and supply routes and things, or if trade income will just be from the new buildings, and dozens of other questions, but I suppose noone but Paradox knows....

So suffice to say

'Me excited, take my money'

I love the new UI. Mostly because I like the combinations of colours. It's similar in style shape wise but has different patterns for the merchant houses. I think it's different in the right places and the same in the right places, overall it just fits and transitioning between the two is going to be both fun and easy on the eyes. The new face pack seems to be about the same quality as the base game+mongol faces one, and slightly better quality than the African facepack.
Screenshot of the technology interface seems like an odd choice. What am I supposed to be getting from that?
There are no new techs on that screen according to my memory. People can go and check the files if they want but I'm pretty sure that's the same. The tech screen is a different person so at the very least you can see more details of the face pack and different funny hats.

If there's a music pack and face pack also, judging by past pricing it'll be 10 for mini expansion/dlc(as said in OP), 2.5 for faces and 2.5 for music so 15 total to stay "up to date". They might suprise release something else (like another music pack) at the same time though.

Any chance that with this DLC the primary colour of the UI could be made moddable. In the screenshots I mean the bits that are aqua. It'd be great to have an option to make them any shade of red I or others might want for instance. It'd really help out with fantasy mods too if you got to choose between either the grey (fuedal) or yellow (merchant) background and could enter in any primary colour.

Another request is maybe add an eye colour or two[in republic or mediterranian faces dlc]? Even if we're talking about differentiating between brown and hazel it's something that affects a lot of people's games regardless of what type of character they play. Hell if you have some crazy genetics you could even conceivably have any eye colour in any race.

[edit] Revised estimate to be up to date
10 DLC/Mini Expansion "The Republic" (confirmed)
2.5 Mediterranean Portraits pack (Hinted at repeatedly, all but confirmed)
2.5 Mediterranean Music pack (unlikely not to be released unless ofcourse they stop releasing music packs which seems unlikely)
2.5 Russian Portrait pack (found on a list linked down in the thread... seems likely... LOR was first unofficially announced that way a day early)
2.5 Russian Unit pack (found on the same list)
[free for everyone with ck2 base] 1.09 patch

$20/20EUR total (Differences in currency value are to take into vat, or whatever the explanation is, the prices are usually the same in Euro and USD)

Yes it does seem like it. We'll have to wait for PI to announce it before we speculate any further, but it would be awesome to have it at some point.
LOR was unofficially announced that way... surely they know that they always leak the names of the next expansions or dlcs from sites like that?

Is this a teaser? What about game mechanics? I'm sooo curious right now...
Well, as I already said it looks promising, but without knowing more of the most important thing (gameplay) I'll wait a bit before judging

I didn't say it was never going to be released. I just said that the content of the DLC might not be what we expects. Please read between the lines next time, figuratively speaking. :)

Well, I'm mostly interpreting the link, assuming it's not a total forgery I'm making my assumptions based on that pretty much.

Unlike Bethesda, who get their games leaked by people trawling their trademark filings.

Note also that list does not include The republic, so they do seem to have learnt something.
