Personally, I'd love to see a DLC that introduced boats/ships and continents.  A monster pack sounds pretty awesome too... and love to see some new equipment options, new quests, and new traits and weaknesses for custom kingdoms and characters.

Yes to more DLC's! Monster pack, faction pack, unit pack (more unique traits for the units you design?), magic item pack, technology pack, completely different faction packs, etc. etc. I'm not big on the map pack, but I will buy it to support the developers and in return I hope they look through this and consider making more requested packs

This.  Also, Campaign Pack that either adds 8 chapters to conclude the story (making the sandbox less of a post-campaign result and more of a what-if...).

Faction Pack should include 6 factions/sovereigns, and include a leader for Capitar and Urxen. (thus, 6 factions, 8 leaders and new traits.)

Lastly, i would like to be one of the first to call for an expansion. Some games try to use an expansion to "fix" the emptiness and lack of depth to the base game. I would like to see 2 total expansions, actually.

I will make a new thread for it though.

I love the idea of custom maps - new realms to explore. I would love to see new terrains added or trees,etc. Bridges, archeologic remnants, ground cover for mod stamps.

Would love to inevitably down the road with an expansion or two, have a map where all players start around the edges and make their way to the center area where there would be neutral AIs to trade with. Some offering expensive powerful items. Maybe others mercenary. Perhaps a Grand Emperor in the middle. He gives quests. Don't upset him either!
