So what next Holy Order/Priest or Pagans?

Edit: n/m, won't argue with people only out to provoke.

Yes, i'm going out of my way to provoke you by debating the validity of a pagan dlc. Each to their own.

/done with this thread.

As a (more or less) impartial observer, I don't see how Mattobro is being particularly provocative. I suppose he could have worded some things in a slightly milder way, but he was downright pleasant for having an argument on the internet.

Anyways, I think that I would like to see Theocracies following Republics, and then, with some luck, the DLC model will have been successful enough that we could get two pagan DLCs- one focusing on the steppe hordes and mechanics specific to the invasions, and then another for everyone else. As far as earlier scenarios go, I would like to see an official 1000 AD or even 900's AD start, but I think getting the pagan mechanics right takes precedence over that. Perhaps a timeline extension DLC could be released down the road, assuming Paradox thinks they can do one well?

Personally i think that there is enough areas of the game that needs improving that a timeline extension should be given a very low priority. But if it does indeed come, i would actually be more interested in seeing it extended to 1492 and the Voyage of Christopher Columbus instead of in the other direction. I know that the game will be intruding on EU territory and technology will become problematic, but i actually feel like the dynastic element of the game only gains relevance in the late period to the point than an extension that way could be warranted.

And i wholeheartedly support a fleshing out of the theocracy element of the game, i would love to see proper papal elections and elections to the other patriarchal positions as well.
