The most important element introduced with Common Sense is the new province development system. The expansion of these territories was limited by the size of the land and the "Value of Development". By spending monarch points, we can develop individual buildings, making them more efficient. In practice, more developed provinces bring us greater profits, but due to the new limitations, their development must be much more thoughtful. It may turn out that in order to erect another building necessary for us, we will have to demolish one of the already existing buildings. Among other novelties, it is worth mentioning the introduction of a parliamentary system, new religious systems (Buddhism, Protestantism) and the role of national churches that can "modify" their denominations to make them as friendly as possible to the monarchy. As we invest in the development of our country, our governments gain more and more rank, which translates into new benefits. Individual nations have also gained new actions and mechanics, emphasizing their unique character.

The pagan rulers are given the option of reforming the religion practiced in their territories, giving rise to a new church and establishing different principles of faith. The legendary bloodlines have also been introduced, under which the heirs of great warriors receive special bonuses. A number of new crusade events have also been added. The DLC introduces the lodges of pagan warriors in the ranks of which characters can advance and gain additional skills and new allies. Coronations also play an important role, forcing rulers to find clergymen ready to confirm in ceremonies that their power comes from God. It is also possible to start playing on a fictional map of Europe, divided between many small countries fighting for their position, as well as the option of playing a campaign on a random map. Devoted Catholics can become saints, which gives glory to their successors and greatly increases the importance of their eternal resting places. In turn, new laws related to succession appeared in pagan countries. Councils of elders can influence the division of territories among heirs, and brothers are given the option of fighting duels over the father's legacy, which facilitates the unification of divided lands.

It doosn't change nor indroduce new mechanics, it's just a flavor DLC with:
- new unit models for the Mongol, early Frankish, early Germanic and Italian,
- new portraits for chartacters of the Cuman culture group,
- new song.

This War of Mine is a game inspired by authentic events set in the realities of the conflict taking place in modern times, in which the theme of survival in adverse circumstances was strongly emphasized. Unlike other games set in the realities of war, in This War of Mine we take control of a group of civilians whose primary goal is to survive in the middle of a besieged city - being in an atmosphere of constant threat to life and encountering a number of unpredictable situations created by constantly changing conditions on the battlefield. During the game we measure, among others with the problem of hunger, lack of medicine or the danger posed by snipers.
