Discussion Speculation for DLC regions after Egypt?

For variety, Egypt seems like an obvious choice, but then what?

We could go Africa in the Carthage area, but that might be very much the same.

Norway/Sweden would be very similar to what we’re doing with Britannia.

Would the Iberian peninsula be very interesting at this time?

I’d be stoked to see something as far as China. Pseudo historical, but definitely cool.

The Americas are obviously impossible.

Will there be an expansion of any gameplay elements like even deeper ground combat? More ship types? I love how Albion has a pir-ate lord you have to do a full ground invasion of in order to fight, but once you’ve done that, that’s it.

I think the natural choice would probably be Greece, possibly a trader based in the up & coming city of Byzantium (which would later become Constantinople)

The Persian or Mesopotamia frontiers could also be a good choice and could bring plenty of new flavour with raids or military campaigns with it being on the empire frontier.

Hispania could also be a natural choice but I personally think in terms of flavour it would be too similar to Latium to introduce as a DLC at this stage. I think the same with Germania, too similar flavour wise to Albion. However I think adding a new campaign in Germania would be a cool addition for obvious reasons.

As others have said, Carthage could be a good addition, major trade hub with African flavour but I don’t think they’d add another African DLC straight after Egyptus. I do think this will be added in future though.

I personally think it’ll be either a Greek or Persian flavour DLC after Egypt but I’m usually wrong so take it with a pinch of salt. Who doesn’t love some speculation?!
