That would be the dream, but im not sure what they have planned for civ. They just seem to like torturing us.- Alt Leaders Pack 1; (two leaders for vanilla civs)
- Alt Leaders Pack 2; (two leaders for vanilla civs)
- Expansion.
Do all the prior DLC have age ratings? Or just expansions?
Just the expansions.
Why do you think there is no reason to think plans have changed? I don't really see evidence either way.
they would want to know exactly what was included in it by having it all in development or finished by the time they announce it.
Three DLC:
- Alt Leaders Pack 1; (two leaders for vanilla civs)
- Alt Leaders Pack 2; (two leaders for vanilla civs)
- Expansion.
Pretty Pleeaaaaase!
The expansion would come first, though
I think you got something mixxed up, she was the Empress of the Holy Roman Empire, the only female ruler of the Habsburg dominion. Some even say she is the mother of europe, cuz her daughters marriages. But she never was a german at all. She would fit more as alt leader for Hungary or even the Netherlands (see Austrain Netherlands).Yes, but she was Empress of the Holy German Empire, so I think she would make sense as an alt German leader.
Rating Procedure
The German rating process takes a different approach than PEGI and ESRB. Instead of relying on content categories, the “potential to impair” the development or education of minors is regarded as the essential criteria for age classification. For classification, publishers have to submit a market-ready version of the game to USK. They also have to supply all relevant accompanying materials (packaging, manuals etc.).
Game testers then play through the entire game – an approach unique to Germany – and then present the game to a classification committee. The committee is the body responsible for classification; it reviews the game and gives a recommendation after the game tester’s presentation. This recommendation has to be formally accepted by a representative of a governmental authority, who then issues the formal authorization to affix the relevant rating symbol.
Yeah, it's entirely unique to Germany: https://gameslaw.org/video-game-age-ratings-in-europe-part-1-of-3-the-basics/
"Play through the entire game" - whatever it is, it's ready to go, or at least a pretty solid playable beta.
The expansion would come first, though
Age ratings definitely suggest new mechanics; it's hard to see that something like a Civ/leader pack would need its own rating. But then we are (to quote our beloved aquiline prophet) in terra incognita. We could still be looking at mini-expansions unlike what we've had previously, adding a new system or two alongside a few Civs and/or leaders.Well, that’s interesting.
Guess I’ll keep crossing my fingers on a 3XP + Civ / Scenarios. Hopefully some news soon. Maybe announcement April for a June release...?
