For the record: Guesses on DLCs

[joe9594]

I was thinking it might be fun to try and make pre release guesses as to what the themes of V3 dlcs will be.

My guess would be a watch on the rhine dlc which allows us to carry out diplomatic provocations and engage in some Bismark level trolling.

What are your thoughts?

Sunset Invasion.

 

[Lord Canterbury]

Horse Armour.

 

[Paghalay]

A Finnish focus tree DLC, finally.

War of The Worlds

Don’t give them any ideas!!!

 

[SpermCube]

African units and portraits pack
Asian units and portraits pack

 

[Aeroclub]

Man the Breach-Loaded Guns where you get to design the ships with the types of sails, cannon and crew amenities.

 

[zorkman]

A Rome DLC, where you can play the classical game properly, & show what Imperator should have been.

 

[Ottoman Master]

War of The Worlds

If they were going to do any silly or weird DLC, this is the one I'd be most okay with.

 

[Sparticulous]

Indigenous peoples

 

[dragonluke]

African units and portraits pack
Asian units and portraits pack

portraits are probably there, I think clothing packs are more likely

Alright, after all those joke answers will give an earnest one.

There will likely be one for decentralized countries, as wiz has hinted at that possibility. Other than that is hard to guess. For precedence, we can look at the two DLC for vic2. and the three major dlcs wiz helmed in stellaris.

these being:
A House Divided
Heart of Darkness
Utopia
Apocalypse
MegaCorp

We can also look at CK3's first major DLC Royal Court for possible company direction.

Now, It's most likely stuff introduced in Vic2 dlcs will be, atleast in some form, carried over into vic3, it's possible that they could retread the same topic. (another ACW or colonization focused dlc wouldn't be unreasonable)(the colonization one could even coincide with the introduction of playable decentralized countries)

It's quite possible the first DLC though, wlil be a Utopia/Apocalypse/Royal Court style rework/extension of major mechanics.
MegaCorp is in a way similar to that theoretical playable decentralized DLC and that will likely be the second DLC.

Ultimately its too early to really speculate effectively these kinda topics, but those be me two cents.

What Imperator is now I think you mean. Fite me.

I can't foresee a DLC policy that doesn't screw the game over.

Which is why shortly after the release of "Victoria 3: Rome", the Imperator team retaliates with "Imperator: Empress of India", to demonstrate how they think the 19th century should be handled.

A corporation DLC that adds corporations that can own shares is many factories/buildings or even other corporations, including in multiple countries, with characters for owners that interact with your politics alongside interest groups.
