Firaxis doesn't have to do anything but people have every right to criticise the offer/pricing structure. I took particular exception to a user claiming they were not punishing early adopters, because insofar as early adopters can be "punished", it's pretty much false.

Buying everything a la carte being more expensive makes sense, the issue many of us have is just how expensive it is especially in light of the deluxe edition sales price. If you are an early adopter of the original release you're asked to pay nearly 40€ for the DLC at all times. If you are a...

Beyond the Sword lacked the scenarios, I'm pretty sure Warlords civs/leaders were included.

No, R&F only has the 9 leaders it introduces. No DLC civs or scenarios.

There are effectively "punishing" early adopters who bought only the vanilla game. New adopters often get the benefit of buying the deluxe game at a reduced rate with full knowledge of what is included, the only people who are being gouged for full price DLC are people who bought the basic game...

It's extremely temporary. You get some free envoys and get suzerain but the AI has a tendency to then throw their envoys into it immediately.

"alerting the towns folk in time to save Stirling. hjghjgjgh" Council websites never change.

Is anybody else having trouble creating alliances? Seems like the AI ally with each other willy nilly but they refuse to pal up with me regardless of how positive our relationship is.

When it comes to language choices for leaders imo it's better to use a language that's accurate but also emblematic of the civ. Robert's dialogue being in Norman French would be kind of disappointing. Why they chose Middle English over Gaelic, I don't know. Maybe they actually are planning to do...

There are dialogue files up on YouTube. For Robert the XML goes: Agenda approval: Wise to keep peace with your neighbors. Blood feuds are paid at great expense. Attacked: You gormless radger! You'll dine on your own teeth before you set foot in Scotland! Declares war: War lingers in our...

There's some Robert the Bruce dialogue in this Spanish video. It's not standard modern English. timestamps at 7m30s and 18m25s

I don't think they should encourage tall gameplay, that just leads to annoying swathes of unclaimed territory because having a few cities is just easier to handle. As a rule of thumb going wide should be better but damaging if done recklessly.

I can see people storing up alliances and cheesing space race or wonder production with the LIberation war CB. It's kind of a dull bonus but probably pretty powerful if you do the diplo game right. I hope that it's the last of the casus belli abilities though.

Right now people are advocating for Gaul while expecting the staples like Ottomans and Carthage as being a matter of course. Also Irish people wouldn't appreciate being represented by Britain.
