If its a Scot thing I will feel a bit underwhelmed. I was hoping for some religion DLC.
Something's coming ...

I would agree with the OP. The picture suggests relocation of people, so perhaps a new mechanism on culture/culture spread is coming up. (would also partially fit the "sons of abraham" -name)
Am I the only one that thinks that the "Oregon trail" gif was supposed to mean that migration theory is a dead end, and the Monty Python sketch was meant to taunt the community for being on the wrong track?
From memory CK tends to use Wednesdays for announcements and DDs. Of course nothing stopping them from changing that, or teasing a bit more...
Seems like we will be getting the Fall of WRE and age of migrations... and there I thought the timeline wouldn't be moved anymore ^^;
Will be interesting to see how they handle all those events in Late Antiquity and Very Early Middle Ages...

I'm quite excited for this. Would have preferred a religious revamp if you asked me originally but this might be even better thinking about it. One question though, is this going far back as that implies (5th century), how are you going to portray the rise of Islam without alienating Muslim players. Muhammad would have to be a character if this was so, and thus you have two problems. The first is at the moment, he dosen't have a picture if you follow the Sayyid line back to he, himself, in line with Islam's rules about iconography. If we were to be a character in 'in-game time' he'd have to be represented by a human likeness which will be an anathema to most Muslims. The second question is even more worrying. In CKII characters can pick a variety of traits that wouldn't be seen in the Islamic world as complimentary (drunkard and possessed being but two). It's one thing if Saladin or Bayburs picks up those traits in-game play, its another thing if Muhammad himself does so.
If you also have the original split between Sunni and Shia you are also going to have the same issues regarding Ali and Husayn.
I'm sure Paradox will work out a way around it, which will not offend anyone though

Migration Period, after all?! Both images posted suggest it when taken together.
EDIT:
Also, King Arthur is associated with the Dark Ages, so there we get the connection to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
