Congratulations to CFC for getting us FREE DLC! (the mongols)

How will mods like RFC work if the Mongols and the Babylonians are DLC? DLC should be for less known or popular civilizations like the Ashante, Srivijaya, or Poland (:crazyeye:), not the more popular, more RFC likly ones!
 
Actually, I figure the mods will go for the lesser known Civs, DLC will go for the popular ones. Part of the point of mods is to go for things the developers missed/can't include.
 
To everyone bringing complaints about CiV into this thread:

Such complaints have no place in this topic; stop it. If you want to complain about the game, either make a new thread or make use of an existing topic that actually focuses on the mechanics of the game.

This thread is about DLC Civs that can be added to the game. One of them is free, one of them used to be $10 (i.e. if you bought the deluxe edition) and is now $5. If you want to question the $5 price tag, by all means, express your opinion. However, you have approximately zero room to claim that $5 for a new Civ is a "slap in the face" on Fireaxis's part due to the complaints some people have about CiV. DLC is OPTIONAL, and as such will get downloaded by those who enjoy the game. If you don't like the game, you don't have to download any DLC. Besides, these are new Civs that are getting downloaded, not bug-fixes. If we had to pay for patches, THAT would be a "slap in the face." But we don't. We get those for free and, judging by the 3 patches that came out within weeks of release and the first major patch already on the way, we get them in a timely fashion.

New Civs don't change the way the game actually works. They add more variety for those who want to buy them.

Now, back to the topic at hand. Fortunately, page 18 here is so-far free from pointless crap and is on-topic. (besides my rant, that is. :P)
 
I will point out that there's also another thread specifically for the price of Babylon.
 
I agree with people who said "Golden horde" would be a better UA name. Also you know what would've been great? For game balance... I think. If horsemen units couldn't attack cities with walls and Mongol UA would be being able to attack cities with horse units.
 
This thread is pointless. Firaxis is stealing money and killing babies.

Move right along.

I... actually like this idea.
Would mess my usual city conquering strategy, as I rely on these buddies for conquering. But makes sense. Or maybe they should only invade after the cities defense got severed badly.

This would give mongols a good advantage.

I think you have some kind of misunderstanding here. We do not get patches "for free". We purchased a game that was supposed to be fun. A game that has bugs or semi-finished features is NOT what we paid for. So the customers show patience and wait for the patches to complete what had supposed to be a bug-free and well-designed game.

To put it another way: If you purchase a painting and the painter didn't have enough time to add colours to everybody's noses, you don't get the noses for free. You simply wait for the painter to complete his job and think twice about hiring him again in the future.

And it is, IMO.

Seriously, that discussion so belongs elsewhere.

Same here.
Thought it would be out today? Is it delayed?

Think it's around 3-4AM (stupid DST) in the Eastern United States? Early morning, in any case, I'd expect it to come out around noon there.

*Fingers crossed*
 
I think you can savely assume, that it will be released when the community managers can deal with the responses to that and reach the most people, so probably afternoon westcoast time.
But that's only my guess, i don't know anything.
 
Umm.. also.

Is the World Builder out yet? Or they going charge for that too?

If you had been paying attention, you would have seen that it was out and not had to make sarcastic posts in this thread.
 
As a side note I wonder why they keep on giving CSs all this importance, one way or another.

To be honest within my games I reduce a lot their presence and I consider CSs simply a waste of time and boring colored spots.

While it is better Golden horde is really more 'political' division of the Empire (Golden Horde, White Horde, Blue Horde and Grey Horde); GH is more well known in the West for its proximity to Europe. I guess the name would be meant to inspire terror "Golden horde sacker of cities" /shrug it does work on a level.

Something that I don't think has been discussed:

Anyone know if they'll put out new Steam achievements for the Mongols?
