For a while I couldn't decide if it was a terrible or excellent idea. Then I drank some whiskey and realized this is the best thing Paradox has ever done.
Honestly the concept is just so WTF inducing I just have to get it! It also justifies have a DLC check box. Right now there is no reason to ever turn off a DLC once you buy it.
I know I buy DLC to be able to turn it off.
I'm all for fantasy DLC. Just not this one. Stay within the medieval europe theme. Mythical creatures or places. *Atlantis*
Honestly I'd like this if it was almost anything other than the Aztecs. It's just too hard for me to suspend disbelief on this one, and there are so many cooler ways they could have made an invasion DLC. Atlantis arising to reconquer the world, Alien invasion, sinkhole gate to hell unleashing an unholy army of demons, even a powerful magocracy coming across the Pacific instead of Aztecs. It would be easier to suspend disbelief for me for genuine fantasy elements, instead of ahistorical elements.
While I certainly don't intend to use it every game, the idea is entertaining enough that I definitely intend to buy it.
...plus, the tears it has brought are delicious.
