I would really only get this on sale. The only features that you will ever actually use are diplomatic feedback and estates, and even then; estates are more of pointless difficulty than an actual addition to the game. Random estate-related events fire too often, usually increasing their influence and decreasing their loyalty.

Diplomatic feedback seems to only help in large-scale wars in the late game, as you can tell your allies what land you call 'dibs' on and you can see what land they do as well. Not a necessary feature, but sometimes useful.

The real thing with this DLC is the advanced culture mechanics, but until individual cultures are actually given purpose (as of now, there is no advantage to having, say, German culture as opposed to Wallonian), this is just pointless. complication.

Oh yeah, and they made Tengri not terrible. Yay. This is an 'ok' DLC, but I really wouldn't buy it until the price falls below $5, or if you consistently play as a horde.
