Those rewards almost all feel so... uninspired. Like which game does not have QnA, wallpapers and video about making it? It's in the developer interest to include it. I would expect more Kickstarter like rewards for signing in, like additional soundtrack - which is the only reward I'm happy to see. Rest is meh.
I:R barely reached 40k, rewards should feel more usefull, than wallpaper and should have an impact on the game. Like: "wow, we see at PDS that you are so eager to have I:R! For your effort we'll give you additional skins/portraits/music".
But I guess it will be content for pre-order.

Alternatively, they're putting the additional portraits and music into game, so no one feels pissy about material being cut from the game just for those who were lucky enough to catch the promotion.

Heavens only know there was enough fuss about races and avatars for Stellaris being "signup program only", until they then gave them to everyone, leaving those who'd been in the sign up not really having got anything for their participation and promotion.


But sure, let's go with it. Which group of portraits should be cut out of the game? Which racial/ethnic group loses their unique graphical identity?

Having the extra portraits *could* change checksums, since the extra portraits are likely to be a semi-hidden mini DLC on a technical level. That'd mean the backers would lose comparability with the non-backers, or have to turn off the DLC (thus losing access to the content) in MP. Even if it doesn't affect checksums, running different DLC to the host is problematic at best.

I don't understand your point? Like you think that during the developement of CK2 devs cut of from the base game every portrait pack we are now buying in separate DLC's? I doubt that in vanilla Rome there will be every portrait/unit pack.

Having the extra portraits *could* change checksums, since the extra portraits are likely to be a semi-hidden mini DLC on a technical level. That'd mean the backers would lose comparability with the non-backers, or have to turn off the DLC (thus losing access to the content) in MP. Even if it doesn't affect checksums, running different DLC to the host is problematic at best.
You know how multiplayer in PDS games work, right? Host gives every DLC to other players. Only host needs to have DLC's. Everyone else doesn't need to purchase, for example, Waking the Tiger in HoI4 to have access to chinese focus trees and WtT features in MP match. So your point is invalid.

Meeh, seems inconclusive.
Minimal effort (Q:A) new Icons.
With that said, it should be mandatory to offer the byers more
than a few graphical icons?
They give us scraps from the restaurants...
A 3D printed byst of Pyrrhus or at least a STL-file.
Or send in one yourself become the emperor, place it in front of your monitor.
A t-shirt declaring Johan has now set up his own kingdom at Kungsholmen, Stockholm?...
Prepare to be invaded, there are endless possibilites,
all im hearing is.....crickets...........

No DLC:S thank you!
That (in my opinion is to milk out every inch of it).
In EU:Rome:1 the layout and gameplay was good without any DLC:S.
The modd Roa not only made the game itself playable but also
historical accurate.
In my opinion Imperator Rome is nothing else than Roa in a more expensive costume.
But im open for suprises....=)

There's a difference with a portrait pack created after the release of the game, and having a "signup only" portrait at launch.
The signup portrait can easily be included, and if not takes time away from asset creation for the base game.
It'd also be a group of portraits that are unlikely to be revisited, or will become obsolete once they are revisited.

But even without that.
Which portraits should be made "signup only"?

Unless of course *you* think all the portraits are created before the game is published?

You know how multiplayer in PDS games work, right? Host gives every DLC to other players. Only host needs to have DLC's. Everyone else doesn't need to purchase, for example, Waking the Tiger in HoI4 to have access to chinese focus trees and WtT features in MP match. So your point is invalid.
I'm aware that that's how it's meant to work.
The number of "bug" reports that turn up where people apparently can't start multiplayer together because their DLC don't match says that there are problems with it.
