Wow, I very didn't expect them to go forward with a change of stardate! We will have to see if they balance this enough for the world to have a realistic evolution.

Otherwise, I like the mention of the investiture crisis (maybe something about the Pope will be changed, and about the HRE). The adventurers go with the period and I of course like the rebels with a cause.

Hmmm, but what about science? How the devs are going to handle it? Like stay pagan and have fun raiding, but never ever build anything but tier 1 buildings in your lands. Or do pagans have some tricks in their sleeves in this expansion?

I like this quote the most: "Adventurers: Landless characters can gather armies and go off to carve out new realms on their own." Does that mean us?

No it doesn't.

Just to stop any rumors, you will not be able to play as a landless character. They will be AI controlled while on their adventure. Also, while the new start date is 867 and you can play all the way to 1453, you cannot start at dates between 867 and 1066 without modding.

I'm a little bit disappointed. I'd wish Pdox would take the time to refine the existing features which need work instead off throwing themselves in the next DLC.

Well it is practically guaranteed there will be a 1.10 patch to go with this, and the those patches are normally more far reaching than just implementing the new DLC...

The Byzantines are extremely weaker than if lets say the start date were moved to 100 years later.

Calling ERE in 867 extremely weaker in 867 than in 967 is a big over exaggeration. By 867 the external pressure on the ERE's borders were rapidly subsiding and they had already been on the offensive for some time.

Depending on when in 867 the start will be, the ERE will be led by Basil "the Macedonian", he took the throne in 867.

Will the Kievan Rus start as Orthodox or is there going to be an event? Apparently the Ecum. Patriarchate first send missionaries to Novgorod in 867!

There's a point I've been wondering about since the possibility of a Viking expansion was first mentionned to me. Will it be possible to sail on rivers ? I understand it must be quite hard to implement, but it would be very interesting to play, as well as historically relevant.
