Got it on a deep discount and think it greatly improves on Total War Empire. Looks *much* better and although scale for regions and timeline is greatly slimed back, it is an incredibly fun and interesting part of history.
Playing French and taking on almost the entirety of Europe is a riot
Updates a really ignored area of the map/game with a lot of different flavor and options, will get you to play Africa if you haven't before or in a while.
Ethiopia was already one of my most fun nations to play and this really throws fuel on that as well!
This is still, IMO, the definitive Civ experience without going WAY back to Civ 4.
I had stopped playing before Brave New World came out years ago, and getting that DLC (in this pack) and playing it again really adds a ton of features and really completes the package.
No brainer, can find it for under $10 (got it for $7.50 actually) and it truely is ALL DLC and packs for Civ 5.
NSB is a complete game-changer for the better. The supply system and tank designer alone, along with free update, have taken this from more arcade like WW2 game to straddling a perfect line of arcade and hardcore simulation.
Suddenly, SP and MP are turned on their heads and the fundamentals of the game are thrown out.
SP is a good and fun challenging time now, prep is hugely important, watching supplies during long offensives (like in real life) is completely necessary. I cannot overstate how big, important and fun this new DLC is for HOI4.
Some Paradox DLC's are hit or miss, this might be one of the cornerstone DLC's ever
If you have a problem and are rapidly approaching 1200 hours of playtime like me, grabbing this helps change up the music/sound. Get on deep discount, then its a no-brainer
Perfect game if you just want quick, short bursts of golden age RTS action. Can get really lost in it, especially the beginning, but I find it perfect when I just want to quickly jump in and out of a game
You'll get the most mileage if you are actively pursuing being in federations and the galactic community. But even when you aren't, the DLC will drastically change how the universe plays out.
Origins and the new mega-buildings top it all off. No-brainer on sale, which it is most of the time
Huge update to the game and first DLC in 1.5 years. Big changes to Europe, especially if you are an HRE fiend and want to unite the world under the HRE's flag.
Great return to form for Paradox, no brainer on sale (which their DLC almost always is).
Like other have said, this is a major DLC, adds a ton to the game and really brings some different things together/fleshes them out.
But I suggest playing a few games, getting a couple dozen (or more, because its CK2) hours under your belt, then getting this on sale. You'll truly appreciate the additions at that point
You'll find 'essential DLC' lists for CK2's base game, and this is almost always on it. Adds a few different things, especially for old Roman holdings, but most importantly is the addition of retinues (standing armies). HUGE deal in CK2
You'll find 'essential DLC' lists for CK2's base game, and this is almost always on it. Adds a lot of character flavor and most importantly development focuses to help make your character better and more unique!
Another fun story DLC from Paradox, but this one adds extra mechanics and a few new things to the actual game. Not just a story DLC. Get it on sale and if you love Stellaris its a no brainer
May not seem like a lot until you dive into it, opens up a lot of interactions (good and bad) with other empires and races. Tons of new mechanics for trade and economy and the new civics and world options and spice to everything!
Some Paradox expansions can seem light, but this one brings a lot to the table and in a lot of different ways. I've never loved navy, but the changes do have me more interested. Then new focus trees/alt paths, fuel....it changes a ton of stuff
