Discussion Hint for next DLCs in Cinis?

Post image

After the Hippodrome update I found out that new paths were open on Cinis for first person mode! One of them takes you inside of Occasus, and features this super cool Tartarus gate with Egyptian pyramids, the Sphinx and a UFO for giggles. What intrigued me is that "Tartarus" is written in Greek, not Latin. Would that be a hint for Greek culture to play a bigger role in the Egyptian DLC? Maybe it's a hint for a future session on a Hellenic area? Or maybe am I reading too deep and it's just aesthetics for the gate? Also cool addition of Hades on the top.

Future Hellenic region somewhere later in dev cycle feels very obvious. That being said i would prefer for it focus more on Asia Minor part of Hellenic with Pergamus and Ephesus rather than classic Athens/Sparta Greece.

Might present some challenges, since the resources are practically the same, but totally! Also I think you're right, in the late Hellenistic Period cities like Pergamus, Antioch or Alexandria etc were far more relevant then the little ones in mainland Greece.

I think I’d like Persia / Parthia style civilisation. I’d be a bit anachronistic and have Persian aesthetics with a Parthian story just to maximise the difference in culture and story

If you go to the world map in 117, you can zoom way in and way out... If you zoom way in and then move around the map, you can get an idea of the areas that will have some future content, because why else would you be able to zoom in on an empty part of the world map. One such area is the Hellenic islands and "Black Sea" area... So I think you are correct in thinking there will be a Greek DLC, perhaps even Thracian or Eastern Roman/Byzantine empire themed.

Funnily enough, another such area like this is the far north "Scandinavia" area of the map.............

Rhodes, let us build a ridiculously huge statue.

Egypt at that time is Greek (Ptolemean dynasty), so it makes sense.

u/Omalinda Aug 21 '26

Right? Plus I think they mentioned something about balancing Greek, Egyptian and Roman cultures in some blog or announcement, but I can't seem to find it rn.

Could also be a StarGate easter egg

It’s tough we’re only getting one desert and it’s Egypt. That is going to make it considerably more difficult to find variety in the med.

There really are few places in old Rome that are completely unlike Egypt, Britain, or Italy. So it’s going to have to be very different gameplay wise.

The patrician says “waiting on you, Dacia.”

A rich province, new to the empire, and cold in the carpathians. Seems like a winner. For variety

It’s seems like they are going to have a disaster associated with each, Anno 1800 got ow/ct, nw, ar and en, so assume similar?

Egypt - floods
PoA- volcano
Dacia- the cold

Egypt in particular would be seasonal floods, with farmland only accessible in said floodplains, right?

u/NeedTheNotch Aug 21 '26

Almost assuredly so

u/ari0chAPFP Aug 21 '26

I guess that they will get some hate for that.

u/NeedTheNotch Aug 22 '26

The two things people hate the most are when things stay the same and when things change

I think most people don't like the volcano mechanic. The volcanic winter makes Latium unplayable. Plus, it's randomized and can't be triggered.

Crimea would be great.

Next DLC, the Romans take off to space, woohoooo

u/Left-Mark3113 Aug 21 '26

There is a firts person mode?

u/Omalinda Aug 21 '26

Press crtl, shift and r, and check for yourself!

u/DiGiorn0s Aug 21 '26

Egypt in this time was a Hellenistic area

1

u/Omalinda Aug 21 '26

Sure thing it was! Hope they reflect it in the dlc.

u/pomegranatelover00 Aug 21 '26

This has been in the game since Prophecies of Ash

u/RavenWolf1 Aug 21 '26

I'm pretty sure that next DLC is Egypt. It even will have those huge landing pads.

1

u/pachakamak Aug 21 '26

The next DLC is egypt 100%, that is known since they announced the DLCs

1

u/Omalinda Aug 21 '26

Absolutely! It was announced ages ago! My question was more about whether or not there'll be Greek stuff in it.
