    Default Peninsula Campaign DLC?

    It looks like it is already in the files.

    It seems to show up on Napoleon's Military Academy.

    The fist Portuguese & Spanish flags and the last British & French flags have (spa_ with them and a smaller unit mix for the last two.

    Here is the link to the French Units: http://totalwar.honga.net/napoleon_u...p?f=spa_france

    When they get around to releasing it is another matter entirely.

    Downloadable content. Meaning you have to pay a bit of cash for elite unit/campaign.

    It is Down Loadable Content

    Something the industry has latched onto and CA started using it with Empire Total War.

    Some elements are included already in the game but it has to be unlocked via Steam.

    It is usually quite inexpensive but you still have to buy it if you want to have it.

    This campaign is not yet even announced, we just stumbled over it.

    I am very picky to which games I buy now.

    A couple of months ago I was looking for a railroad game, and went to browse Steam listings and there is one that practically got released with one or two locomotives and they offer additional locomotives in the form of DLC..they lost me as potential customer then and there.

    I am not interested in buying games piece by piece.

    I would be willing to buy an expansion to a Full game, but not bits and pieces of content, they are trying to apply the "hamburger Industry" standards on to gaming, "Want to super charge your Fries?"...it is ridiculous.

    So now I check games thourougly before I buy them if I see that the core game is practically naked and you have to buy a bunch of DLC's there after, I simply look elsewhere, because it is a big world out there, and someone else may have made a similar game without the greed sauce.

    BTW, DLC comes in direct Conflict with modding from a financial point of view, modders offer for free what the DLC is trying to offer for money.

    Because the some of best selling games in the last year had no modding community.

    I'm opposed to downloadable content in general, however I wouldn't mind paying a little bit of money for an entire campaign, like the War of 1812, Peninsular War, maybe some of the South American revolutions, etc. It's just the unit DLC that drives me crazy, who would pay extra for a bunch of units?
