Why I think a Balkan DLC is a bad idea

This is the whole list of what I suggest.

Arenā€™t you the guy who wants a huge split of the Teutons but thinks Albanians can just be included in Venetians?

As I said, Iā€™m against adding more Euro civs to the game, not against real European people.

Iā€™d maybe be more receptive of more Euro civs if there wasnā€™t a new Euro DLC almost every other DLC (and the fact the devs stopped adding new arch sets also doesnā€™t help).

He joked about being anti-Europe because its a silly term because almost no one is anti europe, most people who complain about Europe just want more stuff for everywhere else because Europe already has a lot

Meanwhile theres quite a few people who think history outside of Europe is irrelevant, inferior, uninteresting or that extremely diferent peoples are ā€œall the sameā€

I said, and I quote:

Itā€™s funny that only the ā€œEuro haterā€ part registered in his mind.

Me euro hater? Nah Iā€™ve got more of a nuanced view.
My point is thereā€™s nothing wrong imo if you dislike something until you wonā€™t harm someone. I may dislike Japanese culture, so what? Youā€™re entitled to your ###### ### of course people will judge you for that and this is fine: itā€™s what itā€™s called real life, having likes and dislikes. Not everyone can love European civs, itā€™s fine as long as you donā€™t force your tastes upon others, you will like something else. Tastes are tastes, the only way to change them is to manipulate people through fear or sense of guilt or physically threaten them but thatā€™s what totalitarian regimes do and personally Iā€™m very much for freedom of speech and tastes, even when itā€™s hate. Better to hate something as a free person than to state you love everything because youā€™re forced to, no?
As I said at least heā€™s being honest, not trying to rationalise why Balkan civs shouldnā€™t be added like op did, and I appreciate people being honest even when I disagree.

Probably because the Lithuanians are Balts and not Slavs :eyes:

Apart from RoR DLC and of course V&V DLC, the last two DLCs focused on Asia. Itā€™s unknown what region would be the subject of a potential future DLC. Iā€™m betting itā€™s not Europe.

I have always been a supporter of new Architecture Sets and it can be done - all it takes is the will from the developers. The lack of the Caucasian Architecture Set in TMR DLC is a scandal in my opinion. It would also be possible to divide the Mediterranean Architecture Set into two separate ones - Iberian and Italian.

The problem is the laziness of creators, not the alleged boredom of Europe!

Following this line of thought, future non-European civs will be treated the same - copy paste.

This I agree with. Give me an Andean set already.

Okay. But Iā€™ve often come across texts about me being someone bad etc. because Iā€™m interested in Europe and I want new European civs - and I have ideas to make them something fresh.

Moreover, more than once, my topics on the forum have been attacked by Eurosceptics - and thatā€™s fine by them. Itā€™s the same with everyone else. Topics concerning non-European civs are not treated this way - this probably means something?

Besides, I myself noticed that when I wrote about proposals for something non-European I was ignored. This shows that Europe evokes emotions on both sides.

Letā€™s not forget about the Nomadic Architecture Set (priority for Europhile xDDD)!!!

Yes I think no one whoā€™s got any honesty left would argue that itā€™s safer to hate Africa than to hate Europe recently (at least superficially) but like @Apocalypso4826 said itā€™s not that you have to conform to what is the sensibility surrounding you or always give up to social pressure (also trends change overtime, you donā€™t have to unless you agree, one day you may find yourself in line with others without even trying it). Sometimes is hard to be hated or feel like youā€™re the one that goes against the crowd but you shouldnā€™t give it all that importance really. Just do your thing, enjoy what you enjoy and hate what you hate, no one can take that away from you (for now lol). As for me if you tell me you prefer Europe over the rest thereā€™s nothing wrong with it, itā€™s just your taste, I donā€™t need to change it.

Romanians and Serbs is enough.We need Romanians due to the Draculaā€™s campaign.The Serbs are nice to be added,they beat Bulgarians,Hungarians,Greeks and built an empire by the lead of Stefan DuÅ”an.The Serbs are also active in Balkan for several centuries in medieval and play an important role.

In addition to that, it compliments well with Slavs being renamed.
