    Default It'd be good if the future DLC units weren't reskins with tiny altered stats.

    Anyone else agree on this?

    Instead of getting ______ CURIASERS! which have perhaps 1 extra stat added to melee attack, we could get curiasers that have pistols
    or maybe some experimental cannons and the like?

    how about some units with some new gameplay additions? it'd alter stratergy and tactics and keep things different.

    Unlikely. To be honest, i'd rather see some DLC that isn't just new units.

    The thread's title made me big time.

    Nice satiric humor

    I wouldn't too. The Napoleonic Era offers so much diversity in uniforms & elite regiments that they (CA) would have to make choice i.e. there are plenty new units to add - see the "wish list" thread about that.

    It's true that in the first ETW DLC many units were just light reskins w/ new stats, a cheap job IMO, but then the other ones were great & totally new.

    @ I-the-gamer: you meant new campaigns too, as the WPC for ETW? I'd like that too.

    actually rather than ANY DLC, I'd rather have them unlock files so that modders can provide us new units for free like in older games. Why is it suddenly ok to spend money on a couple of units when we used to get them for free through our talented modders who both balanced the game and offered dozens of new units to the game, not nickel and diming us with 5 or 6 units every month?

    Sure, me too, but you're dreaming here. They have to make money, dear
    Nothing wrong about that CA isn't an NGO.

    I dont mind DLC units but your right - they need to be more than just reskins of originals...

    I would like to see some new types of DLC which i think is much more needed in this particular game such as:

    1)Map/Faction expansion DLC (for example, unlocking the Ottomans and giving them all their territory in the middle east and coastal North Africa)

    2)Extra historical Scenarios/Battles WITH ALL FACTIONS PLAYABLE IN SP

    3) Campaign expansions such as the Peninsular war.


    I would definitely pay for these.
