Now mods with those factions will be disabled and great, CA wants us to pay for things modders unlocked for free. Sure now we can have multiplayer matches with them, but how about those who dont play multiplayer? It just make me feel more upset about buying this game in the first place.

Judging from the "historical" logic of the game given by CA, i can understand that in finansial logic of the same company 8 bucks concidered FREE comparing to the 15 of the other DLCs!
Its just CA's logic!!!!

IMO we shouldn't expect much from CA going forward, especially when it comes to Rome 2. Maybe the next expansion will be better. But the best thing to do is hit them where it hurts the most...don't buy their crap anymore.

What bothers me the most about this DLC, these culture packs, is that they are in some cases adding ONE unit to a faction. WTF.

Considering that none of the major issues have been fixed since Rome 2's release (about 8months) I doubt its because of SEGA's fault due to the time constraints they gave CA to complete their game. SEGA also gave them a 40% bigger budget than they had from their last title. So please, don't point the finger at SEGA for CA's misshapes like a dimwit unless you actually have some factual information to support your claim.

Edit: and for the people who think CA arn't independent, their marketing division is run by CA, not SEGA. So blame them for all the lies that were fed to us before Rome 2 got released. There was an' article of an interview with CA stating they;re more independent than most gaming companies out there. So please, blame CA for the lies that were fed to us before Rome 2 came out, thats mainly were all the animosity is coming from, misinformation from the marketing division that CA headed.

Their games have gotten progressively worse ever since Empire. Imo ever since Medieval 1

You cannot honestly still hope the game will be fixed. It is just like this. That is it. We will just see what they come up with next.

This is exactly how I feel. What remains of the TW fan in me hope the stand alone expansion will correct a good number of design flaws and prove to be more polished. But we all know it won't be radically different. Napoleon and Fall of the Samurais stand as examples and they were good titles imo.

It is regrettable CA is opposed to any gameplay altering DLC like CK2 : the Old Gods or Civ 5 gods and kings.

Getae a shock cav faction? What the bloody

? They didn't even use horses in war, the terrain and their weapons made it impossible. On the few occasions the dacians did use cavalry, they were Roxolani mercenaries and quite few in number.

They only have two cavalry units in the game (one is a horse archer.) While ancient Dacia was heavily forested in many regions, the Dacians were under heavy Scythian/Sarmatian influence and it is not inconceivable that they would have been able to field cavalry on the plains in Eastern Muntenia, Dobrogea, and Moldova. Tribes such as the Carpi and Tyragetae lived on the edge of the Pontic steppe and I am certain that they would have felt the need to field cavalry to counter raids from the east.
