They've announced the next DLC - Inca, Spain and scenario for 16 Dec. Patch should be released just beforehand.

It better be good. Is the DLC for free?

Furiey · 10-12-2010, 10:15

€5

The patch should arrive before the new DLC, so I guess I'll see how much the game improves with the patch before making any decision on spending money for a minor add-on on the base game...

I haven't even played with all civs yet, and unless we'd get the dutch I don't see a reason to buy new civs. But I'd like the patch to motivate me to continue my deity game.

I'm afraid you won't be able to continue after patching and would have to start a new game. They'll be changing a whole lot so saves most likely will not be compatible.

I'll wait for the Summer (or other) Steam bundled sale, no need to jump on this now as I haven't played or played against all the included civs anyways.

However, this does not bother me as much as it apparently bugs others (Beam) I'm looking at this as a trickle-expansion method, rather than a large, one-shot release expansion. I mean, if these civs are ready for prime time (I know, I know), why not release them now for a nominal charge rather than waiting till all 8 or 10 new ones are done? 5 x 8 = 40, about the price of an expansion, so it's ok to me. Warlords had 6 new civs and 10 leaders and was sold for about $40, iirc. BtS was bigger, with 10 and 16, but it had the original 6 and 10, so was really 4 and 6 + a bunch of scenarios + fucking spying.

Releasing maps for a fee is horseshit, but a scenario (as long as it was balanced (right?)) + 2 civs seems ok to me.

Not me. I mean, fans can do this and far better for free ! What's the point ?

And I even dislike the expansion pack method more and more now. It's so little effort on their part compared to the effort to set up the core game, while it's almost the same price as the vanilla game. Again, why ?

No more fanboy. My 2 cents.
