Insanely good update we will have, many good changes but the Jaguar Warrior one will make the unit completely OP.
Is basically too similar to the AOE 3 Jaguar Prowl Knight:
Both are Infantry units that get combat promotions and become stronger lol.

I don’t think Jaguar Warriors will ever dominate in the same way than Monaspas do.

I like the mechanics, not sure about the overall balance of the unit though.
I wonder what region of the world would be the focus of the next batch of DLC. Hopefully this also means that eventually they’ll add more region appropriate generic unit skins.
Yo those pictures! amaaaazing. The monks are faaabuulouous. That Spanish Inquistion Red!! holy moly!!
Ooh and i love the new monastries!! omg. This is sooo biiiig and amazing.
Look at those castles aamazing.
Is that an Inca monk with Maracas? XD hahahaha oh i love it.
Holy moly 5 new civs, AND another expansion in the planning? waauuuw.
As a Teuton i’m loving the Elite Teutonic Knight with winged helmet xD that is a dream come true! This gives flashbacks to the Medieval2 total war openingvideos haha.
Gosh now i so want to play Byzantines with that beautiful architecture hehe.
What is a Ghilman? i googled the name, it also says Ghulam… suddenly wikipedia became dark. So Ghulam will be renamed?
Hei Guang Cavalry seems to be from the Ming dynasty of China.
Traction Trebuchet?!?! are they working on my idea for different trebuchets and onagers?! awesome!! Okay zooming in on the image, that is definitely a smaller trebuchet as i intended in my post 
That looks like a sling on wheels.
Looking a bit further, yes they added this new siege weapon!!!
Okay i looked up my own post, in french and dutch the traction trebuchet is called a Coulliard.
Someone is getting a pasture.
Fire Lancer is a regional unit in the barracks!
Hello there, is that a Paladin?
I don’t recognise that naval image in the middle.
Aren’t we missing a defensive upgrade there before architecture?
Where is Masonry?
The Fire Archer with a Mayan background???
Shock Infantry?? what other units might be shock infantry?
Flemish Militia trainable starting in the Feudal age. Sweet! Will they be a replacement for the Spearman/Pikeman?
Chinese units; fire lancers, rocket carts, lou chuan.
Googline the Lou Chuan, it is a multilayered ship with a traction trebuchet on top.
As a disgusting naval siege lover this will probably be my most favorite unit if this is true xD
Revision for the Turtle ships, that is sweet!
Even faster Legionary’s? uuh i will have to stop drinking water before or during a game against Romans haha.
Missionaries with armor upgrades, that is going to give some mad strats!
Yeey teutonic knights buffed, i love it!
Vietnamese get fire lancers, ha more for them that is great.
Also i’m loving that a lot of content comes from AoM. The chickens, the new trees, the fire archer, shrines/embelissements.
The panda rock is tooo cuuute haha
This is all incredible, thank you so much for your hard work! So looking forward to this immense expansion.

So they said they are changing the civ of the Kara Khitai.

Looks like Nanzhao/Dali is one of the civs based on a comment on another thread. I admittedly don’t know much about southern China, how well does this work as a representative for southern China (because it’s going to have to basically represent the whole region.)
Camels are therefore now considered a regional unit

I really hope Africa are the top priority coming up next.
America too needs to be explored both in North and South with a lot of regional units and hopefully new architecture.
There are some other graphical fixes that I would have hoped they included in the update
- Missing Saddle in the Icon for War Elephant and Persian getting Central Architecture.
- User Interface and Ship Sails for Indians.
- Missing Grazing/Idle Animations to Herdables, 2 Handed Swordsman etc.
- Wall Destruction Animations.
- Sail Moving Animations like in pre-DE.
- Non-glowing icon for all heroes so that Mods can use them easily.
- Yurt graphics for Mongol and Cuman houses.
I hope in future we can get new architecture sets to break Mediterranean and East Asian sets. Consistency of Castles is really a big win for me. Now I can peacefully buy Mountain Royals.

Great! Hopefully Teutonic Knight, South East Asian King, Mangudai etc. too get fixed.

The changes for the Milita-line are huge. NOW those units will be at least a little more viable. Arson in Feudal and cheaper opens a lot more possibilities.
Question: do these balance changes only modify your game if you buy the expansion, or are they applied for free automatically?

They are all for free included in the next major update

An incredibly satisfying DLC.

I was just wondering, now that Slavs have free arson, isn’t that too similar to Goths’ bonus of increased attack bonus against buildings?

Let’s hope the price is not 60 USD. 11
I bet it will be 30 USD which is totally fair.

I’m assuming it’s just because Supplies got removed so much like with Tracking beforehand, the other Barracks tech preceding Gambesons replaces it instead. Does make me wonder if now you have to research Arson to get Gambesons, or if you can just upgrade Gambesons directly instead.
I will expect it to be more expensive than the other DLCs have been thus far. Dynasties of India was more expensive than Dawn of the Dukes/Lords of the West, right? Since they removed the prices from Steam, I can’t actually suggest a price as I don’t remember how much the DLCs went for initially. 11
I’m expecting it to be somewhere around 40 USD though.
Remember, all the castle re-skins and such are NOT part of the DLC. In fact most of the stuff in the post today (other than the E. Asian environmental stuff) is not part of the DLC. I think the absolute most it will be is $30, but i’d reckon closer to $20-$25 for the DLC.
If sell at 60 usd with too many bugs, I will definitely give a negative rating on steam. If only a few, 60 USD is acceptable for me. If more money can exchange higher quality, that will be fine. I would also expect pathing to be greatly improved if sell at 60USD.
Btw, I would rather remove arson instead of supplies honestly.
I was worried about how my broke self was going to pay for this DLC, but I have $100 worth of unused Steam gift cards, so I think I’m good 11.
