I love the old gods and reapers due, old gods because I love playing as a Norse leader and it adds a lot to it. Reapers due because it adds so many new deseases.

Way of life (adds different focuses and character stuff)
Legacy of Rome (adds retinues, so you have a standing army)
Charlemagne (new start date)
The Old Gods (new start date + Vikings/pagans playable)
Reaper’s Due (add new illnesses so they are no longer generic + the plague)

These were one of the first dlcs that I’ve bought.

I own every expansion dlc and select cosmetic dlc.

I own all the DLC except for Sunset Invasion and some of the unit packs.

I prefer the following packs:

1. Holy Fury - The ability to selectively reform pagan religions + Old Gods makes this my fave
2. Old God - I love playing as the Vikings of Norway, if you love indiscriminate raiding and border expansions, try this one
3. Legacy of Rome - As Panicsferd stated, this adds retinues which can change your gameplay quite a bit

I don't have all expansions, but have most of them and basically agree with the previous posts.

Apart from those recommendations, I also really enjoy "Conclave" and all the interactions with the Council that come with it. And the education system in "Conclave".

That is what I kind of forgot about, I liked that as well and I wasn’t sure why people give conclave such flak when for me it actually made the game somewhat easier to get things done and to get laws past, plus I like the childhood way of life focuses that was added.

But I think all of the QoL (quality of life) expansions are worth getting like: Way of Life, Legacy of Rome, Conclave, Reaper’s Due, Jade Dragon (for new CBs). Then the others that either change the date and or give you access to different cultures/religions/factions should be bought if you want to play as those.

I recommend all DLC, even sunset invasion. Just grab them all at -75% discount if you are patient
