Cant encounter Celtic units if i don't buy the DLC? WTF?

**Maist** · April 01, 2015, 09:35 AM

I did not buy the Celtic DLC and as far as i know even so i can still meet the new units in the game.
Today i've started a campaign with the WRE and it seems as the Celts are still using the Nordic roster.
Wtf?!

Are you positive they aren't mercs? There are Nordic mercenaries once the Nordic factions show up in Britannia

I bet it's due to a mod...

I`ve recently discovered a problem with the new patch and Mods. It re-enables EVERY Mod that you disabled with each new start up. It never did this pre-patch. So you need to recheck each time on start or delete the mod altogether.

Mods tend to leave lots of nasty things inside the Scripts folder, even after you disable/remove them.

what is the version of your game?
can you recruit mercs?

**Barbarian Nobility** · April 01, 2015, 03:13 PM

I've witnessed the same problem and I don't use mods at all, and I actually PURCHASED the DLC.

Am I right in thinking the dlc doesnt change the rosters for celtic factions at all if you have already started a campaign?

Really spoilt the game for me....bigtime. Disgusted with CA.

I mean why not release the celts at the start for people who want them in the game for the start. Ruins the British side of things to me...plus even if there are celtic factions say turn 150 they still are Nordics.

Lame.

p.s you are telling me they finished the game intentionally without doing proper celtic factions? ran out of time or just blatant nickel and diming.

Under what rock have you been living under for the past few years mate? Nickel and Diming is the spirit of the age with Total War Games. They left out Celts, Sarmatians, Slavs, Armenians, and Arabs for the purpose of making us pay for them later.

Congrats about missing the point.

Even when you have the dlc it doesnt change the factions. So all campaigns you started and say got to say turn 100 or more are ruined (in my opinion) because you wont get the right celtic factions.

Not about living under a rock at all. I can live with nickel and diming but not when it screws with my enjoyment.

p.s say for example I had started as the saxons and then conquered a lot of regions and left england till the dlc launched, i then bought the dlc to find It's still showing the unrealistic cut celtic factions that have copy%paste. wtf?

fair enough bend me over once but twice is really scraping the barrel.

DLC doesn't change factions in campaigns that have already started. That's why CA always recommends starting a new campaign after an update/DLC so you can enjoy the new experience. Of course, you can continue your old campaign if you wish but rosters will not have changed. I still have an ERE campaign going that I started on release day where the Longbeards and Celts have generic rosters.

I don't like it either. I understand what they're doing, but it doesn't mean that I like it. Rome 2 did not feel like a complete game until the Black Sea Colonies DLC was released.

It's like playing a WW2 game where Britain, France, Holland and Belgium are all populated by Americans until you buy the "Great Britain DLC"...
Shame on you CA

**Linke** · April 02, 2015, 03:37 PM

I haven't bought a single dlc since launch (where I got Vikings for free) and I have the Celtic Units in my new test campaign. I use no mods.

**Imperator Artorius** · April 02, 2015, 05:23 PM

Unfortunately for every person complaining about the dlc on a forum, there are probably 10-15 that suck it up and fork out, or happily buy it anyway.

I think that's what I'll be doing. I didn't bother much with DLC's much for shogun or Nappy. But I like this era a lot, so when I start a new campaign I might fork out for the DLC's at full price and not wait for a sale.

So far I've played 200 hours, so I'm getting my moneys worth.
