Honestly as soon as I saw the leak I thought it was likely, considering the addition of winter in the base game. I’ve never played Vikings because the one time I spent time in Africa showed I’m not into the tribe thunderdome because I’m not into conflict in this game. But maybe I’ll give it a shot.

I can't say I'm terribly excited about a Vikings-focused DLC, but I guess since I have the royal edition I'm getting it anyway. Hopefully the mechanics are interesting, and perhaps can even serve as a baseline for some new modded features.

I will probably do at least one game where I attempt some absurdly long migration. Wanna try for the southern tip of India.

I can get to the Mediterranean pretty easily in the game currently, I think I just need to get to the red sea and from there sail to india. I am a little rusty on my naval mechanics though so im sure Im forgetting something but aside from that Im pretty sure diplomatic range fucks me over as well. Ill need to sit down and figure it once the dlc drops, especially because by then Ill know more details about how the migration system actually works.

Here, in particular, I'm happy that they're bringing back landless adventurers even in a limited way (perhaps especially in a limited way, they could be kinda OP in 2) and I look forward to seeing how modders decide to expand it to other cultures (mostly I just like the idea of the spare kids I can't even be arsed to marry off deciding to go off and do something with their lives instead of sitting around my court, and any new option for them is a win for me)

Weird dates aside I wonder if this is representative. That'd be a lot of new innovations if so. Edit: also I guess those dates could mean they're changing it so there aren't fixed eras. That's presumably how it'd look if you started in 867 and dev'd yourself all innovations. Anno fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Mar 14, 2021 |

I'm slightly disappointed in them featuring the Norse as the first flavor pack but I am excited for adventuring and the potential for cultural bloodline stuff. Though I'm curious, what happens if a member of that norse family beomes not-norse?

I'm looking forward to it. Playing any of the Scandinavian rulers in CK3 feels so bland compared to playing them in CK2 with the Old Gods DLC, like it could have been any number of tribal nations somewhere in the world.

I would prefer they find new and interesting stuff to add rather than rehashing stuff that was popular in CK2.

I mean there's always going to be a sense of rehashing, it's a period that existed and had specific things that happened, there are only going to be so many ways to depict it in a mapgame. But Paradox have always said that the CK2 stuff they removed from CK3 was because they didn't like the CK2 implementation and wanted at best to take another crack at it (or at worst to just get rid of it entirely) so I think there's room to see if they can redo popular stuff from CK2 in a new and interesting way.

IMO a Fomenko Chronology DLC with the only start points being Aeneas founding Moscow in 1380 or Jesus Christ being born near Kiev in the 1180's would be wild

At last we could play real historical strategy instead of fantasy. I also allow you to make Russians not a nation of gods so that there's balance in the game.

Except for adventurer realms, this flavor pack is rather meh, not really interested in playing Norse and if migration will be locked to Norse... eh.AnEdgelord posted:I will probably do at least one game where I attempt some absurdly long migration.

There are definitely a few mechanics that I'll be much happier to see used elsewhere. Unique bloodline traits for instance. I'll probably do a viking game just to play through some of these events, and honestly adventuring does sound like a lot of fun. I'd just be a lot more excited about this level of love given to nearly any other area, since viking-focused stuff happens in, oh I dunno, every game ever since the dawn of time. Also on a marginally related note, if you haven't, read The Alexiad it will get you all sorts of hyped for a Byzantine play-through and then sad that this patch wasn't all about the Romans.

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

On one hand I'm happy because proper pagan Scandinavia was a goal of mine and I will have more stauff to play with, on other hand I will probably want to start over and abandon my current Haraldr>Norway>Scandinavia game which is pretty interesting religion wise. Some fairly stable Asartu lords clang to life in UK, Slavic pagans have taken over central Europe and West Europe Christians are Cathars for some reason.

BTW is there any upside to becoming Norwegian culture if you are already Norse cultural head? From what I can tell you just split off from the norse and thats it.

I just realized that the extra work on procedurally generated poetry might have been a hint that there was some big Norse stuff coming down the pipe. You can't do vikings without flyting. I hope that poetry battles upset weirdo racists.
