Next DLC title leaked?

[pyroclastic]

So apparently, the Content Descriptor Records for the game on Steam have a new entry:



"Legacy of Rome" sounds like a Byzantine DLC, right? I wonder what features will be added.

 

[Dartheal]

The words I would use to describe my reaction is not suitable for public eyes, instead I will say it in the privacy of a different site with a different set of rules. Not bashing PI's rules, but rules are rules.

 

[fuzzyperson]

This...is interesting to say the least. I'm very curious as to how major changes to the ERE will be made exclusive to a DLC without cutting it off to vanilla players, though perhaps there's more to this than we even realise.

 

[JMensch]

Please oh Paradox gods let it contain some sort of check box option for inviting multiple people to plots at the sametime.

 

[ZechsMerquise73]

What makes you think its a DLC instead of an expansion?

How about that and a checkbox to end all plots at the same time?

Paradox already stated DLC is the new medium of expansion, many times they've said this, so, I look foward to this DLC.

I'm just glad to think that they -are- definently going to give us a CKII Expansion instead of forgetting about CKII to focus on EUIV,

 

[Jak9090]

they said there's atleast 4 major dlc for CK2 coming, so we're safe for awhile lol.

 

[Chamboozer]

It could also be a DLC for the Papacy.

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't abandon CKII for EUIV considering they attribute the overwhelming success of CKII to their reasoning for making EUIV.

 

[Lord Vamp]

Sounds like a Byzantine overhaul to me. PARRTTAAAYYY!!

 

[Arcvalons]

I'm more worried about V2 not getting enough expansions, really.

 

[Charles Stuart]

could be an HRE DLC for all we know.

 

[flame7926]

Same. Hopefully a team goes to work on that soon, maybe after this DLC, or Their Finest Hour.

 

[Jaidal]

I was under the impression that there was a main development team(EUIV), a secondary development team(unknown project in the works), as well as a dlc/expansion team working concurrently. So I wouldn't worry too much.

 

[31ric]

Nope. The HRE in game is not the same it was when RE was divided. So it should be ERE. Really hope so. Hope there ll be not only ERE and Orthodox stuff, but something for Russians (as a Third Rome).

 

[Prime624]

It could also be a DLC for the Papacy.

Great suggestion, but as the base title suggests, the game is supposed to be based around the Crusaders (Catholics) and this system is fairly well developed. If they did improve upon this, I would hope it would be in the form of a patch, not a DLC.

could be an HRE DLC for all we know.

Another interesting thought. I would welcome such with open arms but I doubt that's what they would label as the Legacy of Rome. The HRE was only Roman in name.


A Byzantine expansion does not interest me at all. An overhaul of the Orthodox religion would be great, but in a patch. That should have been included in the base game. To sell the full version of the Orthodox religion in a DLC would be the cheapest thing I've ever seen. After all, all Christians took part in the crusades.

I believe it was Voltaire who said that the Holy Roman Empire is neither holy, nor Roman nor an empire.

That said, I'm eager to see what changes this brings and how PI will continue to maintain a balance between nickle-and-dime-ing their way through expansions and keeping DLCs modular enough for players who don't care to buy into them. SoI was an obvious flip of the switch for what was previously inaccessible, let's hope the next DLC can maintain what we currently have while offering more for DLC buyers...somehow.
