Crusader Kings II: Sunset Invasion Announced!

[TheChronoMaster]

HoI II had a fantasy scenario release (Armageddon) and what giant shift did we see with that? An Aztec DLC five years later?

Don't forget the Lovecraft and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea events in Vicky 2, which clearly ruined the historicity of the game.

It hasn't been announced on Steam. All the other DLCs were announced on Steam THE DAY THEY WERE ANNOUNCED HERE. Its a joke people. Chill out.

I really hope You're right. Still: http://www.anpdm.com/newsletterweb/4141584170424A514272464B59/45405F46744940514B7240435E43

But, again, it's not 'instead of' anything - it takes very little time from other projects, uses mostly stuff developed for EUIV.

What the hell means "not instead of anything"? We've a broken game. They work on DLC. Is fix for factions on some kind of schedule? Was this bug planned as well as patch for it?

 

[TheChronoMaster]

If this DLC is successful and nobody protests, than what prevents them from creating "Alien Invasion" DLC for HoI and other ridiculous scenarios.

Nothing, and that _is not necessarily a bad thing_.

A fantasy scenario is nice for a change of pace once in a while, and I can think of more than a few settings that did 'aliens invade during WW2' and ran with it.

 

[Lord Tywin]

No, what we are worried about is that if this kind of fantasy DLC is successful we will start seeing it in other flagship games developed by Paradox, and then it will be taking away from dev time that could have been spent on mechanics/gameplay DLC that contains with it at least a grain of historical plausibility.

This isn't just about one DLC, this is about where Paradox is heading with the DLC it offers as a company. If this DLC is successful and nobody protests, than what prevents them from creating "Alien Invasion" DLC for HoI and other ridiculous scenarios.

You have your right to say that you find this kind of DLC justified, but many of us disagree, and the only way we can make Paradox understand that is by showing our displeasure here on the forums and then voting with our wallets when it comes out.

I sure hope that they make more scenarios like this, it would be extremely entertaining to play and I will certainly vote with my wallet in this by buying this DLC.

 

[Held der Arbeit]

Can't decide if this is the worst, or the best thing paradox has ever done

It is an intriguing idea to think about what would have happened if the whole conquest of the new world had been reversed, but it would have to be done in a sensible, reasonable fashion.
But this here sounds very much like a lazy "Mongols with Feathers"...

And fantasy Empires shoved into the Vanilla game. Looks like Paradox forgot about Armageddon, though, since they said this was the first.

Armageddon was an expansion, not a DLC. It was also set in an alternate history timeline, and was not sold as a pure gameplay DLC attached to the base game.

 

[Arcvalons]

I am the opposite of dissapointed, seeing as how I live where the Aztecs used to live.

 

[I Killed Kenny]

I'm loving it

This is no joke.

 

[TheChronoMaster]

Armageddon was an expansion, not a DLC.

Show me the difference, please.


And no, 'one is smaller and downloadable' doesn't count.

My biggest dissappointment so far is the crappy CoA of the Acatl dynasty. I hope they change that and give Aztecs a new interface (hopefuly one day they'll add one for the Byzantines as well.

I think of the Empires as goals. That'd be like saying that anyone who controls more than two King titles should get huge minuses or be forced to give the titles away. Eventually some people will make big Kingdoms, eventually those people would want a little icing on top, they got it. Personally I've only made a fantasy empire once and it was only to cut down the number of direct vassals.

Armageddon was an expansion, not a DLC. It was also set in an alternate history timeline, and was not sold as a pure gameplay DLC attached to the base game.

So everything should be fine then. I want to watch the Aztecs butcher their way through Europe in a sick form of catharsis, and some people don't. Live and let live.

Yeah... Nothing as entertaining as being invaded by: Muslims, Aztecs and Fatimids simultaneously trying to survive faction revolting without any reason. Great fun.

Except the DLC took almost no work to create since it was made almost entirely using material already created.

 

[lordreaven448]

The fun will be when the two reach each other. Who will YOU support? Our eastern foes or our western ones? Or will to just barely survive on the edge of the map, faithful to your pathetic and puny gods? Bwuhahahaha.

I will support our Aztec overlords!

 

[zmarcos]

I will probably buy it just as a supportive act towards PI, but I don't think that I will ever play it. You know, this would be über cool if it was merged with "playable pagans" feature, however it seems that this is only a "thematic balance" to counter-weight the Mongol horde on the east.

At least, have someone asked already if you can play as the Aztec IF they convert to the playable religions OR if the faction is unplayable at all unlike the Mongol? Can anyone answer this, please?

PS: Sorry for the bad english, it's not my mother tongue.

They are like the Mongols, you can't play it (a dev said it).

PS: Your english is good enough

 

[Warlord Skorr]

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.

Even better: Ragnarok

Every King, Duke, and Count of your that died in battle leading the hordes of soldiers that died for the glory of your realm against the very darkness itself. Death to the World Serpent!

Fine. But I want to play not broken game. And instead I can buy new DLC?

 

[OneiricRose]

Lol awesome dlc, never expected something as wild as this. (for a mod maybe, but not an actual dlc)
Anyways, the drama going by people who can just relax and accept it's a single ahistorical dlc amidst a sea of historical ones to come makes this dlc even more awesome.

EDIT: If this was required for the game then I wouldn't like it, but it's a dlc, no one is forcing you to ever even consider buying it and it will in no way hinder your gameplay.
