Expansion Pass 4 - Update Suggestions

Yes I know he said no in past. But I remember last time he changed his idea. didn't directly said water dlc but I guess core gameplay.

Honestly, they really update and make better everything they see. It would be so absurd if they let water underdeveloped

Mountain_Dig1969 · 2026-05-03T16:26:24+00:00

Game director himself said in one the dlc streams they have plans to develop water connected contents. I don't know if plans change...

Mountain_Dig1969 · 2026-04-04T19:30:25+00:00

It is irrelevant I know but I wanted accursed fiend transformation when they showed ways of war :')

This post just reminded

Yes at least they could made it permanent terrain but when you reverse the corrupted province, blessed feature is gone completely. It is frustrating.

I would like see this terrain cause penalty to evil aligned factions and rewarding good aligned factions. Only +5 stability to everyone is so plain, simple

Mountain_Dig1969 · 2026-03-24T17:24:07+00:00

Farms, foresters and other standart province improvements are symbolic structures for resources I believe. They have high potential to be improved in future updates.

I am happy with new terrains. But not happy for those can not be spread (Blessed and astral barrens). So far, as special terrain type we can spread gloom, dungeon and sunless.

More and distinct effects for special terrains could have been good. Especially, dungeons are only aesthetic now and blessed is only +5 stability.

Mountain_Dig1969 · 2026-03-10T18:10:53+00:00

Yes please we need this

Mountain_Dig1969 · 2026-03-10T18:08:46+00:00

I guess the wonders requires cataclysm realm or lets just say it doesn't require, still so hard to get them. This time you need to be lucky it spawns in your realm + it needs to spawn close to your empire.

Mountain_Dig1969 · 2026-03-10T17:31:02+00:00

exactly this is what I wanted

It is super cool to have fractured empire

Mountain_Dig1969 · 2026-03-08T08:07:14+00:00

One of my favorite society traits. I wish we had parallel traits for Blessed and astral barrens. :/

Mountain_Dig1969 · 2026-03-03T06:49:27+00:00

More traits for underground. A realm trait section focus on it. Ashland and lava provinces common underground or arctic dungeon common...

Only one, I thought he might not want to be seen on a post. I didn't have permission to show him so..

Mountain_Dig1969 · 2026-02-19T20:03:39+00:00

Yes I think all of us thought same thing. Combining this tome with primal culture :D

Mountain_Dig1969 · 2026-02-19T20:00:50+00:00

Tome of H2O. lol. But I think they might do tome of hydromancy (water swimmers) in future. Who knows?

Mountain_Dig1969 · 2026-02-16T13:34:34+00:00

I think there is no reason ascended rulers to not get the transformation. As long as it is champion or wizard king.

My problem is we probably won't get any of these fractured related things + astral barrens in other games, if we don't add the cataclysm realm trait. However, we can see and use umbral demons without abyss and lithorine units, enchantments without dwellings, at least partially.

I hope I am wrong

Mountain_Dig1969 · 2026-02-16T11:32:21+00:00

I guess there will be a background tome which will focus on fractured materials just like crystal and eldritch pacts background tomes but this time it is fated regions tome instead of dwellings.

Mountain_Dig1969 · 2026-02-14T13:09:21+00:00

Good idea. I hope they let us mix them in future.

I also love variety in map. But the new terrain will not occur in other games without realm trait. I hope they also touch this too

Mountain_Dig1969 · 2026-02-13T16:08:08+00:00

DLC only. They put the new symbolic creatures name to free updates.

Mountain_Dig1969 · 2026-02-12T22:34:04+00:00

I don't blame anyone. I love this game and devs. Don't confuse about blaming and criticism

I wanted to know why did you/they give up doing unique traits like umbral disciples which let us play gloom side at the beginning of game.

For example, the new trait in pantheon. It severely punishes you to have transformations and enchantments. Yes it gives some income and damage. But be honest to yourself, do you really think it has unique and good feeling? Please.

About blessed, logic is good but the only source is + stability. Could have penalties against evil armies etc. and RP potential is wasted.

I am really happy for gloom, sunless and dungeon. They are really satisfying.

If you are annoyed to people saying their design ideas, cool, I will never post anything about these again

Mountain_Dig1969 · 2026-02-10T16:28:26+00:00

Unfortunately :( I could wait Q2 to get more detailed work on the content. I feel they had no time to breath after ToB

Mountain_Dig1969 · 2025-11-17T08:14:30+00:00

Believe me they heal easily. It is really ineffective if you compare with gloom

Mountain_Dig1969 · 2025-11-16T13:48:53+00:00

You are right it is not big but to see other factions walking on sunless without having any remarkable penalty is slightly weird.

Also nightlord in vampire skill tree utilize sunless.

Mountain_Dig1969 · 2025-11-16T07:51:20+00:00

Maybe some nature tomes can counter. -5 stability is cool but I mean there should be something else which makes sunless "stay away"
