In this image, you see how my civ select screen looks like in ranked Multiplayer. You see that I can select any of the new civilizations. This is expected, as I have the DLC.

It would have been nice to have one of me playing one of the new campaigns.

Again you have to wait until the DLC is out. The DLC unlocks the campaigns. The civs are playable right away.

In that case, the communication is wrong.

I am now able to play the campaigns. :slight_smile:
