Imperator: Rome - Magna Graecia Content Pack Review (dank_muffin)
First of all I want to praise the game designers. The addon makes religions more interesting. The thing is, this is included in the free update.
Now about everything else they screwed up:
- German translations (and I assume most other) are full of placeholders. Most popups read REMOVE_DEFAULT four times over.
- The actual new models are a joke. Now you get a bit of rock below your fortresses and some huts on your harbour. Huts on the harbour look even worse, when the territory is not a city. BTW what about a mechanic to actually build harbours with some level of tech. I mean road building is a thing. The Lambda letter on Spartan shields also looks really low res. Generally the models just got a fitting colour scheme. This makes it even more baffling that they did not go ahead and gave all city states in greece a decent shield. Now the new models stand out like a sore thumb.
- Before getting the DLC I wanted to have a first peek and started it up without the DLC. Standard deities had a placeholder graphic. Are you trying to compel people to buy the DLC like that. Or is this just how you do carveouts?
- and here is a cherry on top: As I understand there are no omens anymore. Why is the pending omen tab then always showing up, telling me I should select one? Is it trying to tell me I need to change all my deities routinely, rendering my stability 0?
TLDR: Did the devs even start the game (and play it for 2 h) with the DLC installed?
PS: How about investing in some internal tools to manage this mess. (e.g. misspelled icon tags)
