Creative Assembly has announced on their forums some of their upcoming DLC plans.

While the Greek States Culture Pack DLC and free Pontus playable faction update will arrive day one; by October, you’ll also be able to add the Seleucid Empire http://wiki.totalwar.com/w/Factions to your playable faction roster for free and the Nomadic Tribes Culture Pack featuring the Royal Scythians, Roxolani and Massagetae as paid-DLC.

I wonder what the reason for making Seleucids free DLC is? Regardless, it's good that an important faction such as them is not paid DLC.

"DLC" is replacing "patch" as nomenclature, is my take-away from this and other titles.

 

[catfood]

Still no Dacians...

You can go fuck yourself CA.

 

[The Vanished One]

By far not as ridiculous as Paradox games.

(Seriously, I know that Paradox have lots of fans here, but they're only second to Train Simulator as far as DLC insanity goes.

€2 for portrait packs? And I was outraged when Bethesda released the horse armor plugin.)

 

[Sranchammer]

They have yet to release an AI DLC, too.

Arche Seleukeia?!

fo' free?!

oh lawdy, I's in heaven!!! /blackface


You know, at this point I'd pay for a non-retarded AI DLC...someone should pitch that idea.

Paradox sells cosmetic DLCs. I don't buy them and I don't care that they release them. If someone likes them more power to them. The non-cosmetic DLCs they sell are what we used to call expansions.

That doesn't compare at all to selling factions and units that ought to be available in the base game as DLC. Factions and units that are presumably already in the game as enemies you can fight against.

*presumably*

not presumably. they are they and they add new expansions for free with patches, just the new factions are not available for player to play as.

I'm actually surprised how little ruckus was raised over Shogun 2's DLC considering CA added sold almost as many clans as there were in the base game. And then did it again with the expansion and its own DLCs.

Then surely you'd just wait a couple of days to make sure its just not a .ini hack or the like to allow all the factions in without the dlc before buying any of it?

I just buy them because I like the work they are doing and would like them to continue doing it.
