Re: New Historical total war era - Total War: Three Kingdoms!
Grace's comment is in direct contradiction with their previous statement, according to which, the next DLC (Yellow Turbans/Liand Province rebellion) after the October update would be released ''over the next year''. To be honest, what Grace said is much more reasonable, as I was really surprised that no DLC for their most recent tent-pole title would be released in autumn, although I understand that Three Kingdom's retention rates proved to be rather disappointing. I wonder whether the next chapter pack is going to be less controversial than the Eight Princes. In my opinion, these mini-campaigns suffer from the same inadequacies their Warhammer colleagues did, as they are neither as interesting as the main campaign nor do they offer a unique enough experience to justify positive feedback.
Moreover, they give quite a negative impression to the community, when contrasted with the original campaign, which has been already severely criticized for its lack of content and variety, especially in the desolate south. I still insist that this business model was not not a correct decision from Creative Assembly, unless of course the company discovers a truly iconic and familiar episode of the Romance epic, but, even such case can only occur once and do not constitute a viable strategy on the long term. The older plan of mixing extravagant units, exotic cultures and focused campaigns seemed more profitable and efficient.
