DLC request: Alternate history DHEs

[Jia Xu]

I was thinking that it would be nice if we could still have a lot of flavour even if we're not playing one of the traditional powers. What if I ended CK2 with a really strong Bavaria in southern Germany and with Austria completely conquered? It would be nice to have some kind of flavour for the country which replaced Austria as the major German hegemon. Likewise, what if Iberia ends up being permanently conquered by Al-Andalus? You'd be in the same position as Spain (better, actually), but without any of the cool flavour that Spain gets for being the traditional hegemon of the region. Even if we ignore CK2 conversions, it would still be nice to have DHEs for situations such as one where Prussia fails to form and a different country ends up being the dominant power in northern Germany.

Is anyone else interested in alternate history flavour or am I alone here?

Alternate history is good, but it seems extremely hard to just come up with 'historical' events that never took place; that's what all the generic events are for.

If they do an alternate history DLC it will probably be more in the Sunset Invasion style of DLC. Filling in every minor nation with custom ideas and events, including CK2-specific hypotheticals like Jomsvikings, is definitely a realm best left for modders.

Well, Purple Phoenix is pretty much an alternate history flavour DLC. And Paradox was considering making an USA flavour DLC too, so I'm pretty sure we'll see other flavour DLCs for the other historically unimportant nations.

I think that that would be much more appropriate for mods than for DLCs.

Would you really like the devs work a few months to offer events for an hypothetic Duchy of Champagne that would have conquered the world?
