I'll pass i think, but i will buy content pack. Love the free features, keep that up. I like it nad you cannot argue that Paradox milk you with great free features added with every DLC.

At first I was not really Excited about this expansion. But now seeing what they are adding.. I am very interested in it and cant wait to get my hand on it. Corruption and Spy missions seem very interesting

Sounds tops, looking forward to giving it a good shake 
. As someone that enjoys playing naval nations, that naval mission system and sailors sounds tops, and new espionage set-up sounds like it has a lot of potential as well.

How are they doing those animated video passes over the map? They are able to see a more flattened perspective and viewing at a different angle it appears. I want that in the normal game! I've been wanting flatter perspective for a long time so we can enjoy the 3D unit models better and still have the map be functionally useful.

Can I dream the fabled add_permanent_accepted_culture will make it this time?
What I'm wondering is how long the extended timeline lasts. I know it goes past 1821, but how far does it go? 1836? 1865? 2016?
There was a game showed off in the recent Mare Nostrum feature stream that made it to 3400. I imagine it's nigh infinite.
The extended timeline mod has begun evolving beyond its containment! Soon, not even Roman times will be safe from perpetual Colonial era mechanics!
Oh man, I JUST started my very first Ironman playthrough as Venice and I've been so chuffed with my run so far. I was able to steal Constantinople and Ragusa out from under the Ottoman's noses, Alexandria from the Mamluks, Scio from Genoa, and vassalized Bosnia, plus conquer Cyprus and a bunch of Balkan provinces, all before 1465. But it would be criminal to continue playing Venice without these changes. I was even planning to get espionage as my second diplo tech, I have to have the new spy stuff. What are the chances I can continue that save in Ironman mode with the new expansion (and still in Ironman mode)?
Zero, unfortunately. The whole new set of map changes will mean no saves are compatible, so you're either going to have to revert back to an old version, or finish up quickly.
I'm in a bit of a similar pickle, I completed my main objectives for my Teutonic campaign, but I was hoping to fund a new Crusade before the end date. We still have two weeks, so if you have anything really specific there's still time.

Aw, too bad then. Thank you for clarifying, I'm still really new to EUIV.
But yeah, I'd rather abandon my current campaign in that case. I feel I got a little lucky with how things have worked out so far, but since I'm only in 1470 now I'd rather restart on April 5th and see if can not only match but exceed my current progress. I wanna play an Ironman game and I wanna play Venice and this expansion now seems quintessential to that. No getting around it.

Dammit, guys. I need more than two weeks' notice to put in for a week of vacation time!
If it's anything like the last DLC for CK2 it will be mostly broken or unbalanced for 2 weeks before you get a fixed version,
It would be really cool if you guys could add the debug camera which allows those panoramic shots from the trailer as a console command!

I would not say that they listened to the customers. Don't they have their amazing feature to money conversion table? I am honestly surprised that they still charge 15 Euros for it:I know for a fact people were complaining about the price of the DLCs. So knowing that Paradox has listened and taken this to account as well as the work they have put in always puts a smile on my face
( this is saying something from a person who boycotts a lot of companies.) Respect & Trust is a great thing to accomplish.
- The whole map overhaul is free. I was fooled by the RNW overhaul last time, not again.
You also get:
- Corruption: A mechanic that looks wanky, unfun and will not contribute much if it is as thought through as Estates.
- Trade Leagues: A mechanic that maybe effects four countries and that you won't be able to put to use properly since OPM's are scarce and will disappear/ concquered by you.
- Condotteri: I Expect this to be incredibly wonky and broken for SP and MP alike. They would propably patch it out soon like loans if there wouldn't be a massive uproar by the people that just paid for it.
- Naval Missions seem to be decent. There is a lot taht can go wrong there but I'm giving Paradox the benefit of the doubt.
It really puzzles me how paradox sells overpriced expansion after overpriced expansion and when they do a expansion with less features they jsut set the price point down by 1/4 and the crowd celebrates them.
This game is getting way to bloated. All the features introduced do not harmonizewith each other. It's a game filled with afterthoughts at this point. You know what I would pay for again? Europa Universalis 5.
