Although I disagree with the characterization of DLC, this was funny!
Let me persuade you with my powerful logic skills.
In light of the Total War series, a quote from the theologian whom I respect the most:
The Heavenly City outshines Rome, beyond comparison. There, instead of victory, is truth; instead of high rank, holiness. St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo
It's like buying a First Person Shooter and only after you bought it, installed it, fired the game up you notice you need a DLC for anything better than a pistol ..
After some careful thought, I would pay double the price for these units
with the addition of a India campaign with added coracles for 20 quid, then there you have it, I'm sold old bean
Well, you can always mod them in yourself!
...
...
As long as you buy our unit editor, for 500 quid.
...
...
...
Which can't edit meshes. Still, you can enjoy some very nice reskins. Blue, red, yellow... you name it. Hey, we DLCers have got a business to run, dontcha know?
Athenians: For ourselves, we shall not trouble you with specious pretenses - either of how we have a right to our empire because we overthrew the Mede, or are now attacking you because of wrong that you have done us- and make a long speech which would not be believed;.......... since you know as well as we do that right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.
Part of the Melian Dialogue in The History of the Pelopenessian War by Thucydides.
Of course this assumes the NTW will include rivers in the campaign and battle maps, because everyone knows that in all major campaign every military strategist since wars began used bridges to cross rivers eh?
Don't give away our plans! We intended to release a map pack with rivers so you could actually play the Coracles DLC!
Ever wanted to re-enact Trafalgar? Now you can! For only £20, add seas, ships, and sea maps to your game! (Includes Royal Navy and Marine de la Crap)
Sounds to me like the latest DLC for The east India Company game, although I've never played it.
I've also heard that every single unit DLC for Empire will now contain at least 10 British units, including the Elite Units of the Ottoman Empire, Elite Units of The Baltics States, and Elite Units of the Brazilian Trading Theatre.
Very funny and sadly there's an element of truth to it. Great post!
The extra development time will allow us to finalize and polish Empire, making it the most accomplished and epic of the Total War series." said Kieran Brigden, Studio Communications Manager at The Creative Assembly. "There is a great deal of anticipation around Empire: Total War and we want to ensure that it is the benchmark for strategy games upon its release.
I was getting really pissed of reading that until a realized it was a joke.
sounds exactly like CA in 5 years maybe.
how to fit in on twc:
1. constantly complain about etw, 2.talk about the good ol days of m2tw, 3.constantly complain about etw, 4.complain about too few buttons on soldiers in Ntw screenshots, 5.constantly complain about etw, 6.use wikipedia to find historical inaccuracies then pretend you have a degree in history, 7.use wikipedia to debate unquantifiable things such as "who was better saracens or aztecs, napoleon or alexander", 8.post so many times in a thread that it eventually becomes either offtopic or so intricate nobody understands, 9. alway remember that sega and CA are evil, corrupt, idiotic, greedy, whiney, corporations and they used to be kind, pure, intelligent, hardworking people who loved their fans.
My insider at CA also shared the following additional features which will come in at only $5 each:
1. A commercial-skipping option to avoid those annoying in-battle interruptions about forthcoing CA games and add-ons!
2. A 24bit graphics option to change those blurry uniforms to the ones you see on the package!
3. A CPU booster-mode to make full use of your expensive computer and lift your performance from 5fps to what your PC can actually handle!
4. "Total Mouseclick Support" to ensure that what you click on actually responds - the first time!
And the really cool option will be a monthly membership for $9.99 per month, where you can get "Empire Total Relief", an amazing option pack that unlocks a fully functioning "Super-Pause" button (replacing the standard button which only pauses for 15 seconds... enough for a slurp of beer and to scratch your a** but not for a pee). It even includes a real pewter piss-pot (embossed with Napoleon's Imperial Eagle) for those times when a Steam patch temporarily screws up your super-pause.
