The DLC seems to very much be following a similar pattern to the last season pass, which is a good thing since that pass was quite strong. I'm looking forward to this quite a bit.
Ways of War is giving me four new tomes so I'm happy. I'd say intrigue will depend a lot on implementation. Empire and Ashes had artifacts so if intrigue can keep up then this DLC will slot quite nicely with it.
Oathsworn on the surface seems a little bit like what they wanted from High Culture so I'm a bit worried about them stepping on each others toes. But I'm glad to see subcultures continue forward.
Giant Kings are very hype for me personally, but I wonder what their place in the meta will be. Since Dragons already serve as the muscle ruler type... maybe giants will have some kind of an extensive sacrifice mechanic? Or maybe a focus on terraforming / province improvements / wonders? Not sure here. Ruins and dwellings sounds like a lot of fun.
Archon is the greatest question mark here, but the steam page says it comes with a new culture so that's good news
My biggest fear out of all of this though is that only Ways of War has 'tomes' announced on its store page. I hope this means that new tomes are now assumed and the feature DLC will have them as a matter of course. If it means that only 1/3 of the DLC will give me tomes I will be a VERY sad boy.
Keep it up team! I was very glad to see my video got so many views and I hope it contributed, if even a little, to another season pass being viable.
