Hello, fellow fans of HOI4. Today I am here to make a request to the developers, for more information about the much awaited Horse Armor DLC. I would truly love to hear about it in the next Dev Diary, or on April 1, which is a Thursday but the anniversary of the announcement of the DLC, so it definitely holds a special place in all of our hearts.

This DLC will be the make or break of Polish World Dominance the fourth HOI game, and has been confirmed by 97% of the fanbase to be their most anticipated aspect of the game.

As many of you know, we all signed up for the free DLC on release, which is clearly going to be Horse Armor. This DLC was first brought up a year ago, in this DD. However, it was clearly just prototypical and unfinished at that point. You can tell from this picture:

Look closely, especially around the neckline. You can tell that this picture was photoshopped. This leads me to believe that the Horse Armor DLC was unfinished at that point. Thankfully, I have this quote from @Johan:

"90% of our development time for this game has gone into the horse armor DLC"
–Johan

From this quote, and from the obvious importance of this DLC, we can conclude that it will be very well done. I have full confidence in the paradox staff, and am sure that this DLC will improve the game tenfold. I have done the math, and projected a 4000% increase in sales due to the free Horse Armor DLC.

I have opened this thread not only to confirm the suspicions and rumors floating around about the free downloadable content, but also as a discussion thread for the much anticipated DLC.

My kindest thanks to out to Johan and the rest of the paradox team, for making this dream a reality.

Bonus: a special leaked image from the DLC

I understand that this is a mule, and I was concerned as well about this. However, it has been confirmed by @Zaku (special thanks) that you can get a purebred horse by upgrading reliability.

Thank you all, and happy horse conquering. :)

Taken from the first article:

"In Slovenia, it is (Trojanski) krof; in Croatiakrafni; in Bosnia, and Serbiakrofne. In Poland they are known as pączki, in the Czech Republic as kobliha."

:) it's okay, the etymology of donuts is a very diverse field, and there are many ongoing disputes between pastryologists.
Second article.
"Although they look like German berliners, North American bismarcks or jelly doughnuts, pączki are made from especially rich dough containing eggs, fats, sugar, yeast and sometimes milk."

Still doesn't explain how the heck the German name for a pastry is derogatory and offensive.... seriously, wtf?
