Seems CA is trying to appease players by giving out the DLC for free. The new factions do sound interesting, but I find Pharao despite having the most interesting setting after Shogun to me looks utterly tepid even in their official marketing videos.
Really seems to have whiffed with reviewers and buyers, too.
Hopefully we get a game crossover with TW:Troy like in the Warhammer series. It’s a pretty similar time period and uses all the same resources, so I could see Agamemnon doing battle with Ramses.
