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

Maybe, ,maybe not. I think next DLC will be a Horde DLC that add stuff to Steppe Nomads, add a scenario that start on the eve of the historical Mongol Invasion and allow Tengriists to be playable.
pagan dlc would be nice.
allow us to play even more characters.
mix in some new mechanics and events and it'll be sweet.

i want a papacy dlc
The pagans are historically doomed,and didn t last that long,what would be the purpose of an DLC for them?

Why not just release a pagan + Republics DLC.
Edit; I have a suspicion that it may be a Catholic DLC, changing the way the papacy works as well as an overhaul of the west.

Well, they lasted for more than half of the game's timeframe and they are the biggest group that isn't playable.
In an interview, Johan said the next DLC is going to be "big", "at least as big as SoI" and "its been widely requested since launch". Sounds like Northern Pagans to me, although Republics are similarly viable.
They've repeatedly said that the Pope will more than likely never be playable, and those who've gotten to be Pope report it impossible to play. You get a massive ton of events for people requesting pardons, excommunications, etc. As the Pope, you have to deal with it. That's not to say we won't get upgraded Papal mechanics and a church based DLC, but we won't be playing as the Vicar of God.
As for Pagans, it's the best reason to expand the timeline. When you think about the game's mechanics, the most viable direction to do that is extend the starting date to the 900s. Lots more pagans then.
Yes, they lost historically, but then what's the point in allowing the Byzantines to be playable? What's the point in allowing Nubia to be playable, or any African countries?
Plus, Pagans in the Baltic alone lasted to the late 1300's, and to the East, they held out for a while too and were quite powerful. Tengri is another form of Paganism, remember.
IF it is paganism, it is very likely that the start date is moved back 200 years IMHO.
I think most people suspect the next DLC will be pagan because it would make the Aztecs playable. That's pure speculation though, and I'd personally prefer to see a DLC that improves upon existing content. By all means, yes, a pagan DLC would be awesome and I'd like to see it, but there are more significant DLCs that should be concentrated on before making more characters playable.
But... but I hardly ever finish a game as it stands!
As for Pagans, a DLC for them would be cute, but they were a dying breed. The Pope and internal politics and shenanigans of the Church would be much more interesting.
But I'm with the OP, I don't really get all the Pagan love...
Nobody except Paradox knows what the next DLC will be. Johan's clues could mean a number of things ('a group not able to be played before' probably being the main limiter on speculation).
Well, a start date extended 200 years into the past would be a lot of fun. I'd love to see that.
Cause people really want it ? Pagans in CK2, especially in 1066 hold big region which isn't playable now. Don't be suprised then that people really wants it. What is more pagans are mostly destroyed fast, so people expect them as a great challenge...
Thus the answer must be Cardinals! Nobody was able to play them because they're not in game yet!
Or T-34s.
Northern Crusade DLC. Combines Pagans, Theocracies, and Republics.
The Pagans should get T-34s.

It's going to be big! Must be playable courtiers
