Ideas for minor DLC

[Prime624]

The Aztec invasion DLC is just a minor DLC, but it still is a terrible idea, in my opinion. What are good ideas for minor DLC that you have so that Paradox doesn't have to do this to us again.

One idea I have, that would be released with the pagan expansion, is an extra fantasy DLC for each region of pagans. They could have mini-scenarios of myth inspired events in Ireland, Scandinavia, Russia, the East, and Africa.

Another idea I have is Atlantis! It's perfect.

Atlantis!!!

Introduction of the northern pagan religions [Romuva, Norse, and the Celtic], maybe a Vinland expansion DLC, introduction of Beta Israel?

Personally I think Zoroastrianism warrants a mini-DLC, but not a big one, so that's my suggestion. Also maybe replacing the de jure ahistorical empires with titular empires, with additional ones based on culture and religion instead of being determined geographically. Could also do the same for kingdoms.

Algonquin and Hindu invasions.

There are so many potential alternatives... Charlemagne's premature death, the dissolution of Christianity (oh wait, we already got Lux Invicta), different Great Migration patterns... Srsly, I thought Disney buying LucasFilm depleted the amout of trolling per month...

A Bantu tribe in Modern-day Botswana and Zambia discovers a plant that can be made into an explosive powder. They make these into powerful lances and use them to conquer the area. Just as the tribesmen look north for new lands to conquer, they discover that it can propel a projectile in a blowgun at high speeds. Europe must now fear a threat far greater than the Aztecs, the might of firearms...

You know those cool sinkhole "Gates of Hell" things? Well what if they really were gates to hell and demons erupt from them and begin conquering Europe as an invasion from the province the sinkhole appears in? And then we could have the angels to fight them by pious leaders being able to give land up to the angels. In the aftermath of the war Europe would have to deal with the new angels and demons nations, with questions about how to treat them, should we demand our land back, marriage and children with the angels and demons, etc.

I'm going to serious for a minute. Beard DLC, you know you want it.

We already have beards, would I be unable to play a bearded character without this DLC? If my heir is bearded and takes over without this DLC installed will I get a non-standard game over?

 

[cybrxkhan]

Serious ideas:

- Zoroastrianism (Persian restoration, etc.)
- Celtic world (Irish high kings, etc.)
- Iberia (Moors, Jewish+Christian+Muslim interactions, maybe even New World conquest, Reconquista, etc.)

Don't be silly. It would add at least 20-50 new beard graphics. Orthodox priest characters will now almost always have a beard. Most importantly will be dynamic beards, your character will grow/shave his beard based on certain traits and circumstances. E.g say your ruler is depressed, he may grow out a beard.

Okay, but can it at least be bundled with the A Game of Dwarves tie-in DLC?

That would be AWESOME

Would beards be culture-dependent as well?
For example, Northern and Western Germanic culture-group characters have an 80% chance of being bearded, Byzantine and East Slavic 70%, Celtic 50%, Latin 30%, etc.?
That'd be cool as hell too. Dynamic beards dependent upon traits and culture; drunkards and the depressed looking disheveled and messy, the diligent cutting an impressive, clean-cut, kingly figure.

Also the ability to control your beard. Who'd ever want to NOT have a beard? Bearded women as well, just incase I get an unfortunate daughter only inheritance. So long as I'm bearded, I'm fine.

Haha 10/10 post. And how about actually "growing" a beard? The portrait changes each week as the hairs get darker and cover more of the face, eventually growing in length.
Men under 20 have thin, scraggly goat-beards, and might be urged to shave often.
In fact, this could become an entire faces overhaul. Instead of faces changing at 16, 30, and 50, we have them changing at 16, 20, 25, 30, 35, etc.

Oh, another serious idea: West Africa. Mansa Musa, Saharan trade routes, berber cultures, and all that.

Or even East Africa. Not just some additions to Ethiopia and Nubia, but some tweaks and fixes to help them survive too.
