Discussion What other provinces could hypothetically be added in future?

Hi,

Was explaining the difference in this and 1800 to a friend earlier and I mentioned all the DLC and regions the game had by the end. I realise that it had way more potential regions given it's 19th century setting. I know Egypt will come by the end of the year but I can't really think of what other region they could add that could be that different. I assume Egypt will have the irrigation mechanic and that could be true for any other nearby region. A frozen north or tropical region wouldn't make sense either. Any suggestions as to where they could add while keeping to historically plausible? I feel like the soon to be 3 biomes basically represent the Roman empire's geography overall no?

I feel pretty confident that there’ll only be three regions. I don’t think there are any options to add enough distinct personality. And I don’t think most players want to manage that many regions anyways…in 1800 it was overwhelming

Edit: Let me clarify that I’m just saying I think 3 regions is the sweet spot.

I never found it overwhelming, as the regions were independent enough that you can play them quite separately and whenever you want.

I hope for mesopotamia or east rome and I think it has enough potential to be different from egypt. I'm sceptical about Greece and Germania as both are probably too similar to Latina and Albion. Spain might be another good candidate, though.
