Caesar in Gaul DLC

I have to agree, I have to pass this up, $15 is way too much for this. Maybe if they added in the family tree or something like that I would consider it at full price. The Peninsular Campaign was $10 and I think that had more features.

There will never be a family tree.

No, say it isnt true!

Not sure what you are trying to say. If they're gonna make what everyone wants and then sell it to us... fine I guess that is how industry works but that wont help me feeling anything other than pissed off about them.

I still remember that comment from some CA person when they went like ohhhhh we had no idea people liked family trees so much, this is interesting stuff!

At that point I thought... I don't really know what I thought. The people working the game today probably weren't born 8 years ago.

It was kind of sarcasm.

Anyways the family tree wasnt in ETW (or if it is I cant find it) and people didnt seem to care nearly as much then as they are now. Probably because the royal family werent really commanding generals as I recall and it made no difference whether or not you knew who your cousin. But here it actually does matter especially with the political system which is probably why they didnt think people cared about it so much, which is probably why it doesnt make an appearance in this game.

So we got some exclusive content courtesy of Trish!

“One of the features that Caesar in Gaul brings is a new historical battle. The battle of Alesia was the final decisive action of Caesar’s Gallic war, and saw Caesar defeat Vercingetorix, the leader of the alliance of barbarian tribes that had gathered to oust the Romans from Gaul.

Set from Caesar’s perspective, the battle of Alesia tasks the player with maintaining the siege of Vercingetorix's Gallic stronghold. The battle begins with the Roman forces deployed within their own fortifications outside the hill-fort. The player must guide the Romans as they weather attacks from within the fort itself, and from the huge Gallic relief force without.

This screenshot depicts the battle map, and you can clearly see the hilltop fort of Alesia, surrounded by Caeser’s fortifications. We’ll make no bones about it – it’s a very challenging battle!”

And heres the tactical map for the battle. Clicking on it will enlarge it.
