The next DLC has been announced:

The Olds Gods:

http://www.paradoxplaza.com/games/crusader-kings-ii-the-old-gods

Looks like we will be able to play as the pagans. When I first saw the name I thought it was another fantasy DLC.
PanzersEast: Have to think to myself.... will I play the first one by the Winter Sale?  Probably not, then I should remove Dragonfall
PanzersEast: but that is thinking too logically.... and Steam Sales are about ignoring Logic

Excellent news.  I really like the sound of some the features in this expansion.  This game just keeps getting better and better.

Now we are getting somewhere!

Been waiting for a Vikings DLC since the game was released!  This is a day one purchase for me!

I am particularly intrigued by this:

QuoteAdventurers: Landless characters can gather armies and go off to carve out new realms on their own.

This could be a lot of fun!  The original Elemental was supposed to have a similar mechanic but it never arrived.  I hope Paradox can pull it off.  Something like this could add a great deal of fluidity to a campaign...not that CK2 needs any more.   ;D

Edit: some clarification from Paradox on adventurers:

QuoteJust to stop any rumors, you will not be able to play as a landless character. They will be AI controlled while on their adventure. Also, while the new start date is 867 and you can play all the way to 1453, you cannot start at dates between 867 and 1066 without modding.

I speak as one who has destroyed himself a score of times.  I am, Mr. Engle, a veteran corpse. We are all corpses here! This rendezvous is one of the musical graveyards of the town. Caters to zombies hopping around with dead hearts and price tags for souls." - Angels Over Broadway

Hell yes!  I'm getting this one for sure.

This feature is the one that intrigues me the most as well.  Even if we can't play as landless characters ourselves, it should still be a good/fun way to liven things up!

Not a huge loss, although starting as a landless viking and invading England to form a new realm from literally nothing could have been interesting

That would be alot of fun.  And who knows if there are enough calls for this to be playable by community they may implement it and if not someone will make a mod so you can.

CKII is the game I have bought the most stuff for and played the least. I really need to play at least one full campaign before I can justify getting the new DLC. So many choices as who to play as...
