I'm going to scream. :ninja: What is it with EVERYONE talking about it? Do they really know the next one?
If I read "DLC" one more time...

If they sold the list of the future DLCs as a separate DLC I'm sure a lot of people would buy it.
Honestly, I'd pay $5 for it, but only if they released some portraits and songs too.
Damn man, I laughed loud.
OP, everyone is crazy about the DLC because:
- Paradox DLC's are awesome, especially the big ones
- We like new stuff and mechanics
- Johann said they were working on a new big DLC, which makes everyone anxious and excited
Honestly, I'm shocked that they haven't announced it yet. Thought the original plan was for a small, fun one (which turned out to be SI) and then a larger one before the year's end... course now, Johan said around New Year's. Guess we'll see, but the announcement has to be just around the corner. Then all the excitement and rage can begin.
Since Johan mentioned December I hope we might see the announcment next week. I honestly cannot see any good reason for delaying the announcment even this long.
They're probably terrified given all the self-entitled butthurt rage that Sunset Invasion produced.
Well then they just make a DLC that fits the time period and history, and they have no reason to even be worried.
Reaction to Sword of Islam? Superb
Reaction to Legacy of Rome? Superb
Come off it.
See, what they should obviously do is make a DLC which adds a medieval United States to appeal to an American audience. The medieval United States would, of course, be an empire and would only be reachable once the Empire of Britannia successfully launches a Catholic crusade to rescue Muslim France and the Middle East is reclaimed for Ethiopia. Only then can history take its grand leap.
It's actually not that long. Swords of Islam had 28 days between announcement and release. Legacy of Rome only had 19 days between announcement and release. Sunset Invasion had just 14 days between announcement and release. Even if we regard Sunset Invasion as a minor DLC and excuse it from consideration, looking at either Swords of Islam or Legacy of Rome we can still fall within the mentioned timeframe of "around New Year's".
Sunset Invasion fits the time period, but only assuming that things that no one in Europe knew about at the time (one way or the other), had been a little different from what we now, in restrospect, know they were like.
Or, to put it another way:
We know today that an Aztec invasion across the Atlantic at that time would have been impossible, but for people living in that time, a massive invasion from the Steppe that would take over and occupy large portions of the Middle East and Eastern Europe and hold them for centuries would have seemed almost as unlikely. The closest thing to the Mongol Invasions that had happened to Europe before were the Huns, but that was about 1000 years earlier and on a far smaller scale. And the Huns just kind of lived on the edges of civilization and made raids against settled areas. They didn't occupy huge chunks of civilized land.
From the perspective of the people in 1066, in the area that makes up the game world in CKII, and the knowledge they had at that time, an invasion from across the Atlantic would have made almost as much sense as the Mongol invasions. They weren't expecting either to happen.

Can you guys understand that I'm NOT complaining about SI. I'm just saying the ONLY reason it was so derided is because of its complete implausibility.
A Pagan/Republic DLC is of course 100% plausible (there were Pagans, and there were Republics, from 1066 to 1453; are we agreed on that?).
Stauffenberg, what the peasants thought or expected doesn't matter; all that matters is what could have been.
Zhetone, what the hell man. Come on. Your attitude is truly repulsive. :mellow:
