The new government type that's mentioned on Steam could be the old Persian empire system with satrapies. Also, struggle is literally mentioned in the description. The region is ripe for a struggle, which I can see them expanding on here, due to their being several groups involved: The Abbasid caliphate trying to hold onto power, those wanting to make the caliph their puppet like many did at the time, Turkic migrations, and of course Zoroastrians against Muslims.
I agree that they will include Crusades in a Huge Religion Major pack where they are going to overhaul the religion system to be deeper and more interesting.
It’s odd to me that some view CK3 as at or near the middle of its development. I consider it near the beginning, and if I had to guess at its lifespan, would guess around a decade or so. I believe they built this game to last. It was designed to developed over a long period!
My guess is also that it will be around ten years. Maybe eleven or twelve thanks to the delays of RC. But with this year CK3 will have its four-year anniversery, and even with the 12 year estimate we are slowly entering the middle of the life span. My take was 0-4 early, 5-8 middle and 9-12 late development stage for the longest possible development. But yeah, with the overhauls it currently has it is probably one of the longest living games that PDX will have.
I agree that the Iberian Struggle should stay in Iberia, but the Struggle system they built is super flexible and be can be used to represent all sorts of turmoil around the world. I don't know if they should/will use the struggle system here, but it definitely shouldn't just be limited to Iberia.
Eh, I kinda agree but the name of a DLC is just about the least important part of it.

I motion for the title Padishah (Persian: پادشاه; lit. 'Master King'; from Persian: pād [or Old Persian: *pati], 'master', and shāh, 'king')* to be translated into English as Master Chief.
CK3 was released in September 2020. It isn't even three years old yet.
Nowhere, so far all speculation. I wouldn’t even take it with salt. If they were adding a new bookmark you can bet it would be front and center in the marketing of the DLC.
From the title it does sound like they might be focusing on Persia's past with things like mechanics for a Zoroastrian revival. I do think it's legit to have space for things like that, but I do hope they don't go full-bore Achaemenid revivalism. I learned only recently that the Shahnama has so little coverage of the Achaemenid (and Seleucid and Parthian) periods because they really had been lost to historical memory in medieval Iran, and the specific ancient Greek texts giving information on the Persian empire hadn't been translated into Arabic or Persian.
if perisa's flavour pack is to the level of fate of iberia, it'd be a lot of content by its own right tbh
Yeah no, just because modders have changed the struggle parameters to mimic other time-based changes doesn’t mean that’s what the Ck3 team should do. They did say they could consider adding more struggles in the future but had no plans for it, meaning it was formulated first and foremost as something for Iberia, and that’s how it should stay, as the mechanic that sets Iberia apart, something that gives players a reason to chose Iberia as a region over others.
