The Reapers come a bit too early and wipe out humanity in 1300.


Or,


The Romans established a colony in North America in 1st century AD, and now they have grown in number and with Vikings telling them of the state of their Empire they return to Europe to destroy the Christian scum occupying their lands!

I think the next DLC should consist of one massive event. There arises from a place far, far away a black Knight of immense power who never shows his face, who follows some dark religion and is able to frighten people into following him through his ability to strangle opponents without touching them. He creates a vast army of elite troops from across the map intent on conquering the known world. His main weapon is a large siege "Sphere of Doom" which is 40m tall and, well, spherical. This weapon fires projectiles of such strength that it can smash opposing fortresses in one shot! Your task is to find the one farm boy who can defeat this monster and his massive siege weapon and restore peace and justice to the land....

I know,
A DLC where the Amazons attack from the unusable territory in Northern Russia. They would have only female rulers and lots of archers (and horse archers) and would basically be the Mongols of the North. Likewise their unit sprites would all be women, and they would have a cognatic succession where only women can inherit.

The Congolese Clockwork Company

From the darkest darkness of dark Africa comes a bloodcurdling sound “click-clock”.

Introducing the new “horde” the technocratic Congolese Clockwork Company, and three new Clockwork units: Combatants, Crossbowmen and Cavalry.
Unlike other “hordes” the Congolese Clockwork Company does not start with a huge attrition-proof stacks, instead they start with three vassal mercenary companies: the Congolese Clockwork Combatants, the Congolese Clockwork Crossbowmen and the Congolese Clockwork Cavalry. The armies consist of all three of the clockwork units but with their namesakes as a majority. The Congolese have three culture-specific buildings: the Clockwork Combatants Construction Compound, the Clockwork Crossbowmen Construction Compound and the Clockwork Cavalry Construction Compound. Those buildings provide their respective units. The Congolese are also able to hire Clockwork Soldiers as Retinues.
The unique ability of the Clockwork soldiers is the fact that they never retreat from battle and always fight to the death.

the next dlc should change plagues so that only men get sick and then the remaining woman have to discover cloning and go on in a world without men. there might not be any wars but there will be a lot of aged mothers in positions of intrigue. it will be like crusader kings meet murder she wrote.

You when it turns out he ended up in Anatolia and ends up uniting mankind only to be worshiped as a God-Emperor:

Or rather, as Sigmar.

Seriously, the next DLC could be a DLC dealing with the enhancement of religion, the expansion of the barons' role (that is, making more events to make county-life much more interesting and challenging), just a little bit of TRADE...

...and a bit of naval combat. Not determinant, just a bit. More related to transportation and resources than actual combat. Something like:

- An army marching through a coast province with a navy following it (with the navy having the "support army" option, which costs you money, but your troops get stronger morale and (maybe) reinforcements.

- A fleet can "provide resources" somehow to help oversees territories.

- Fleets, as it happens, were usually merchant ships rearranged to carry soldiers, and naval battles were not battles between ships, but more like land battles on wooden castles. That means you need soldiers there, and the soldiers you're transporting also count.

- Also, if trade is in, raising your fleet would make your trade rates suffer. Instead, you could purchase galleys, which are serious warships that don't "go away", like mainland retinues, but are expensive to build, and you might need an extra building (an Arsenal, or a Shipyard) to be able to build galleys.

- This way, you can provide help to Crusader kingdoms oversees, making their troops stronger, and also simulate a well planned attack supported with a fleet into enemy land.

***

Here I'm mirroring the French Crusade against Aragon, in which the king's army crossed the Pyrinees while a French fleet set out to provide support and supplies through the coast. The French lost the war when the Aragonese fleer defeated the French fleet in the Battle of the Formigues Isles. Without its supplies, the French army succumbed to disease, famine and loss of morale while besieging Girona, and ultimately retreated after some weeks.

I'll tell the end of the story, because it's cool: the King of Aragon watched them pass through the Pyrinees into France, with the King of France being deadly sick, and then some Aragonese soldier shouted "Shame on you!" to the king of Aragon, because he was letting the hated French escape. He thought of the agreement he made with the king of France, but then he though "Err, screw it", and attacked the fleeing French army, utterly crushing it.

Just to show how important lines of supply were at the time. Some people will say "but this is not really a war game", but I beg to disagree, since in war is where characters shine or darken the most, and this game is about characters. Mind, the king of France died shortly after this war, and his son, who was there as well, got a very unpleasant view of his neighbours to the south. He was not really going to be a friend of Aragon. This shaped his character, while rising others like Roger de Llúria, the Sicilian admiral that won the sea battle for Aragon, to stardom. He's still one of the most memorable characters from Aragonese history to this day.

Let's be realistic everyone. The next DLC should obviously be a Confederate invasion.

This could work. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson is in the Confederate Court, and he has an 87 Martial score. He can invade every inch of the map and destroy Islamic and Byzantine hordes with five hundred soldiers in his army. Then you can have a Confederate super empire. And the Mongols are his vassals.

Though I did like the "Amazon" one Lord Finnish mentioned. I'd actually honestly buy that one. <3
