I think this is pretty cool little dlc. Would be great if one day we could play as Aztecs also.
Besides, it's not really a fantasy scenario imho. If instead of Aztecs Europe would be invaded by trolls or orcs from Mordor THEN it would be a fantasy. Europeans first arrived in the new world roughly 150 years later than Aztecs come to Europe in this game. The main factor behind the ability to cross the Atlantic are the ships. Medieval ship building is not nuclear science, you don't need a building full of nobel prize winners to come up with a wooden ship that can somehow manage to survive the voyage. All it takes is one person with a clever idea how to make already existing ships little bit better and something like that can easily happen 150 years before it happened in real life without being a fantasy. And sure Aztecs might have not been as good at building ships at that time as Europeans but that means they only needed a tiny bit better clever idea.
Also people should stop being so whiney. Every dlc is optional- if you don't like it, don't buy it. Go outside and chase a cartwheel like our grandfathers did when they were young if Paradox dlcs upset you so much.

my only complaint about this is that I can't play as the aztecs. I do not mind this fantasy scenerio. Though I would have liked to seen a pagan dlc first.
muwahahahaha. now this is some high quality trolling! though it woudla been better on april fools day.
also, the americas coudl use some improvement in eu3; make sure eu4 at least does something good wtih them.

I wish they'd done (or may still do) a similar idea focusing on some sort of resurrected (perhaps literally) Achaemenid Empire. We could have ancient Persian portraits and sprites, along with LoR-style events as we re-conquer the borders of the old empire.
I'd have preferred it to the Aztecs, but granted the idea is similarly absurd.

I had to respond
For the record, the Aztec weaponry was terrifying for the Spanish. There are Spanish accounts where weapons made out of obsidian decapitated horses in one strike. So, late Stoneage weaponry is a bit of a stretch. After all, the Spanish only won because they had around 100,000 native allies...

I'm waiting for the first Downfall parody to be made of this. Several angles I can think of, in-game as well as making fun (both pro and anti) of us forumites. 
I'd love to have an Apocalypse DLC in which the Gates to Hell become reality, and the Antichrist (and its demons and minions) start taking control of a random Empire and wage war on everyone Christian.
:wacko:
Couldn't see this coming, for sure....... Also checked if it was April 1st...
However, it's all in good fun (it's a game...). Happy that the devs are having fun playing with CKII and are trying stuff, creativity is good!
Also happy with all the 'hints' about the future.
Will buy, just for the heck of it. Paradox, please take my money, go on, this moment, I insist!

...which then starts spreading the 'Possessed' trait like wildfire. I like it.
The biggest irritation about this is that development time is used on an expansion that is rejected by and was predictably going to be rejected by the larger portion of the community, rather than something that a large proportion of the community would enjoy. I do hope this is being done on people's personal time and not at work.
