'Featureless' Expansion

[doc_bean]

CA doesn't get to decide what they put in their own expansion pack ?

BTW I think it we would be better if we waited until it was released before we comment on its lack of features. But right now, the Xpack really doesn't appeal to me.

To be honest from exspansion packs i allways exspect exactly what they are; exspansions to the game. Dont expext a new game fokes expet the game to be tweaked and bits added. The only ever remarcable exspansion i can think of is civ3 conquests. So to be honest dont expect this to compleatly change ure veiw of RTW allready if you hate it, its just the same content basicly exept re skined. However why will i look forawd to it? Because you get to bring down Rome !

Since there is no senate in the XP's era (dev confirmed) it will open many good things for mods.

That's precisely what i was thinking. No one else seems to realise that because there'll be no more senate, it'll open up hundreds of modding possibilites.

If RTW expansion has the same price than VI (more or less) I think is a bit expensive.

BTW I am very upset with the postsale support offered, I don't care who the guilty is, sure costumers not. So I don't have any good reason to buy the expansion despite I still play a lot the game.

we live in a world were money is almost if not EVERYTHING, if they won't go for the moneymaking style, they'll be bankrupt in a month

I have played both TW expansions. A lot.

I enjoyed the new features in each of them although IMO none of them represented an especially dramatic departure from the game play of its predecessor. The Mongols don’t build troops and that was the big difference from other factions. A new map and new factions in VI were excellent but the other changes were minor. The reinforcement tweak was nice but was hardly a sea change in game mechanics.

Night battles and river crossings sound like significant tactical additions to me but deciding what are major and minor features is a very subjective undertaking. One man’s delicacy is another’s gruel. The migrating barbarians in BI could be very interesting and different. I’m not sure we know what all the next expansion will include.

Very true Nelson, I think it is a sad reflection of society in general these days that people just love to moan about how bad things are. As you pointed out, it is an expansion and not a new game. All the negative comments really are unfounded until there is proof that the expansion is rubbish. Personally, I cannot help but laugh because all these whingers will buy it as soon as it hits the shelves
