You guys have some crazy ideas of what it's like to work in an office.
If there are specific things you want to know - please do post them here. I'll round them up and add them to my questions!
Specific thing:
A big issue people want to get an answer for is how the existence of DLC and other pay-for content that only certain players will have access to is going to affect modding and multiplayer.
For example, if I make a mod and use Babylon's units or leaders as the basis for my mod, can I distribute it? Even to people who do not have the Babylon civ from the Delux edition? If someone was to slightly modify one of the DLC map packs and attempt to redistribute it as a better version, what restrictions will be in place that may hinder them?
Also, how will such content affect multiplayer? If I own Babylon, can I play as that Civ against someone who does not? Will they be forced to download all the DLC that I have just to play me, or will such matches be prevented?
Since it is confirmed that at least some restricted content will be made available via DLC, I assume that you have considered how this will affect modders and multiplayer fans. Many people are extremely worried about the implications of all of this and it would ease many minds if you could tell us how you plan on handling this.
