I love the fact that the devs care so much about our opinions, but I wish to clarify what I’m specifically looking for in a DLC.
Alternative history focus trees.
These are pretty universally loved, the fact that you can create your own dystopian history or completely unique storyline is fantastic, and I hope we get to see more wild alternative history paths, the more, the better. There is no “this is too dystopian” in my opinion, if America has a way to become a monarchy, that would be so wild, it would be fantastic.
New meta changing unit customization that enables new strategies and tactics.
Something I’ve been yearning for is the ability to further customise land divisions with individual infantry types. For example, I wish units has “riflemen” and “light machine gunners” or “landmines” etc. that way unit customisation can be expanded further to enable new strategies, specifically focussed around terrain types or defencive/offencive strategies. No longer is there a need for one universal infantry template, but instead we have the need and ability to make an infantry template made for attack and defense (a light machinegun squad mixed with landmines) vs (an assault rifle squad mixed with flame throwers) for example. Some examples of extra unit batallion types are:
Riflemen
Light machine gunners
Assault riflemen
Landmines
Flamethrowers
Bike troopers (already exist, but could be cool if everyone was able to use them)
Body armoured infantry
Night vision infantry
Mortar team
Sniper team
Mine clearing vehicles?
Extra note: I hope these units don’t all require separate equipment, as managing the factory production lines is not exactly a fun-factor for me, it punishes change and thereby creativity.
Focus trees for strategically super difficult factions.
Making focus trees for strategically difficult factions like minor factions is also something I love. Nothing is cooler than playing Greece and rebuilding the byzantine empire all the way from scratch, or playing the Netherlands and trying to keep both the east indies protected AND the mainland safe. I love it when complex minor factions get a focus tree. Another example might be Finland and Norway. Manchuria is also a great example, please make focus trees for countries that start at a weak position but have the potential to expand or have a great challenge in survival.
