For those who don't know about this game, I guess a couple of links:

So yeah, anyone else got this game? I love the idea of all the political interactions and it just seems like something I'd enjoy. I haven't played it yet, but I was just wondering if there's any tips for newbs or some things I should keep in mind. I've seen quite a few reviews tell me I'll make some mistakes early on and it has a bit of a learning curve. Also, there's a shit load of DLC, any that are recommended?
Looks like a good game, can't wait to get stuck into it all day tomorrow
It's an incredible game, sunk many hours into it! I recommend getting the Legacy of Rome DLC, (adds retinues to the game, which are small standing armies which makes war easier) plus the Old Gods (makes pagans playable and adds loads of stuff for vikings, plus adds a new start date in 867AD). The others are less necessary (I have the previously mentioned 2 plus Sons of Abraham, loads of graphical DLCs, plus Sunset Invasion).
If you're getting stuck on what to do, there are a few LPers on youtube that are helpful to watch, such as Arumba.
If you enjoy this, try out EU4, which is made by the same people but focuses on a different time frame.
