DLC 04 anticipation thread

[Eagle Pursuit]

I didn't expect this to be necessary so soon, but here we are.

The DLC04 depot has been created.

DLC03 depot was created 1 month prior to Australia's release, so we could potentially expect the same schedule. Sometime from the 21st to the 30th of March.

More updates as they come.

 

[Siptah]

I haven't finished waiting for the DLC 03 yet... This is confusing, but great!

 

[DeutschDachs]

Makes sense, they said to keep an eye out for more over the next few weeks so I'd imagine a month at most

 

[Katakanja]

Happy prognosticating to all! I look forward to what we come up with this time around

 

[Timothy001]

Do we have odds on if it will be Persia and Macedonia?

The odds look good at the moment. It's in the game files and they pair well. But then I said the same thing about Isabella and we got Australia.

 

[Leyrann]

Created by the one and only Eagle Pursuit himself!

Was Isabella in the files too though?

 

[Cerilis]

I hope it's an utter surprise again. Like Australia.

No. She was on the poster that had been 100% correct up until that point.

I think Isabella's only claim for inclusion was appearing on the leader poster, which arguably puts her chances at the bottom of the scale, IMO even below the possible Genoa civ that people found clues for in a few places, never mind Macedonia and Persia.

 

[Leyrann]

No. She was on the poster that had been 100% correct up until that point.

The poster was a few months pre-release though, while the files are live. So I'd say that there's a much bigger chance of the post being incorrect than the files. Also because it just makes sense that they'd record all civilizations/leaders they knew they would put in the game already with Sean Bean (it's an audio file) so that they wouldn't have to call him over every month (I suppose that would be quite expensive).

I do hope he'll come back for every expansion though!

I believe that at the time the poster was created that they intended for Isabella to be in the game, whether base or DLC, but it appears that they either dropped her or put her off till a later time.

I kinda want to see a Leader Pack DLC with just 5 or 6 leaders.

5 or 6 leaders? What price tag would that be? Fraxis would surely sell a leader for a similar price as a civ, no? Or maybe 2 leaders for $5.

 

[Futumch]

Zulus and Mongols. They're the two I would like to see. I have seen the audio file definitions though, so that may not happen for a while :

I think the $10-12 range for 5 or 6 leaders.

 

[Siptah]

I think the $10-12 range for 5 or 6 leaders.

But isn't a new leader almost the same work as a new civ? I mean most of the work time is probably graphics for the leader.
Of course it should be cheaper in a large bunch than a when buying single leaders/civs. 5 or 6 alternate leaders for $12? I'd buy that blind, even when only 2 of them bring interesting abilities, just for the sake of variety in opponents. 5 or 6 for $20+? Then it should include leaders I really like to have or very interesting abilities for most.
But to be honest, I'd rather have more new civs than new leaders, as long as the civs are crafted well. Two new abilities and a new unit beat one new ability anytime for me.

Amen, brother

Remember that a full civ + a scenario cost $5, so a part of a civ should cost less than half of that.

And while civs > leaders, I don't mind having both, since the game is designed for it.

 

[UkrNixon]

Also true. In fact, I disliked the concept of multiple leaders at first, but have warmed up to it with time.
civs>leaders still tho

 

[Rup]

I really want to see more Asian Civilization .
Preferably , Persia , Mongolia or Ottoman/Turks .Any 2 of these in the next DLC will be awesome .
Then I want to see African and Native American civs .
I really don't want to see any European civilizations or colonist in the next few DLCs.
I know the importance of European history and I love every European civs but there are too many of them already .
