AoW sadly isn't on sale but it can wait. On the other hand I'm excited about the new 1.9 achievements.

I'm guessing my vanilla Ironman save isn't compatible with the new DLCs ?
AFAIK saves don't care about DLCs, just about major patches (1.7 -> 1.8). Not 100% sure about this so if you don't want to risk things, don't enable them for this campaign.

i have only WoN and i find very useful the Trade Company, specially because they give you some very interesting mechanics for the African and Asian region. And i love privateers, they are very useful to rise the Power projection.
Anyway i will say take WoN if you would like see some more economic aspects in the game

The Imperialism CB and Admin Efficiency help a lot. I conquered my way through the Ottomans, Persia, and into India as Byzantium. You can still get the achievement at the rate you're going.

My experiences with CKII lead me to the following conclusion:

Turning DLC off while you're using a DLC feature that's not just graphical or musical will make it difficult and/or impossible to play that save, but turning more DLC on will never, ever interfere with your saves or make them unplayable.

I can confirm that indeed the Ironman save without the DLCs works with them enabled. I've always had the suspicion that the DLCs are "on disk" because of the massive performance drop, when AoW was introduced, for the people who didn't have that particular DLCs.

They are on-disk. All the files are there if you look around. Presumably the usage check is in the .exe
