Caesar in Gaul DLC

[Myth]

It is still prefferrable if they have more than one stack and you destroyed one and besieged their city. You'd get their remaining troops for free. That's how I did it anyway.

do we know if they will put the dlc on the steam sale? or am I holding out for no reason?

We dont know, I would wait until the last day of the sale if it doesnt go further on sale in the coming weeks.

Hi

Grand campaign bored me to death but I had a feeling that CAI was broken because of the equation huge sea regions and amphibious troops. Plus I really missed the seasons on an immersion as well as a strategic side. So I bought CiG.

Well, I'm not disapointed and I love this expansion. It brought back this one more turn feeling, sleepless nights and argument with girlfriend. There are some really good ideas in the tech tree as the civil and military techs are more intricated.

I feel sorry for those who were disapointed by the grand campaign, like me, and choose to express their frustration with a useless boycott.

Merry christmass.

Got to agree, I like it better so far than the main campaign as well. I though had a pretty good idea I would because I'm fully convinced CA isn't up to the task of making large campaign map games (i.e. Empire and Rome 2 vs what for me is the best game they ever made, Shogun 2). Lower the number of AI combatants, scale down the map, give me my beautiful seasons back along with agents and generals I can develop and not have die off before I remember their names and viola, Rome 2 turns into a game I once again recognize and enjoy.

+1 - I feel the same way!!

While it is disappointing they didn't do it themselves for the main campaign. CA has made it possible for modders to add seasons, turns, as well as additional traits for the agents and generals all to the main campaign, so you can still have nearly the game you hoped for within the main campaign.

Someone actually did a seasons mod for the campaign map. Its pretty awesome: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...nal-Graphics!)

You can't mod a game properly that is designed from the ground up on 1ypt. It affects every single facet of the game.

its not a useless boycott, it is the only way you have to show that you disagree with them. not only did they produce an inferior product (which they pretty much admitted to having done so knowingly), they then also charge a stupid amount of money for something that, while it may be a nice addition, shouldve been in the game in the first place, or otherwise should not have cost so much money. Kingdoms for MTW2 gave you 4x as much for almost the same price. Its fruiting ridiculous.

Maybe I'll buy it when its €1. or maybe for the first time in my life i will fly on the back of a pink dragon. I'm just done with this magic fairy dust.

Merry Christmas...

I think I totally see your view as boycott is something I practice regularly as a citizen trying to make a point out of my voting rights. I meant no disrespect to those people's decision.

But in this case I felt that the people who decided to boycott CiG punish themselves more than CA. Yet this feeling is certainly connected to the fact that, to me, CiG is more fun that the Grand Campaign.

One thing is sure though : I don't trust CA's products anymore.

[Myth]

CiG is more fun that the Grand Campaign.

That statement alone makes it really weird to pay full price for something like this addon if you already paid 50-60 euro for the main game + the greek city states.
