What even is this? You said you got it wrong I say you got it wrong, and then in the same sentence you say you never said that, but then repeat you got it wrong?

Ough.. I’m sorry, might be a communication issue on my end.

At the risk of sounding like Dwight Schrute, I think we all need to lay off FloosWorld. He is exceptionally reasonable as a mod and is very understanding of the little guy. He’s not the enemy.

Looks at Khitans, Wu, Wei & Jurchens
I dunno about that…

ok touche lol.
Still though, the point is that they have contacts who can, if they are engaged, give feedback on the balance side of things, but they don’t really have anyone to give feedback on the historicity side, which makes me think its because the devs don’t care enough about that aspect to put the effort into setting up those contacts (or just read the forums, which they probably by and large write us off as a vocal minority, whether that’s accurate or not)
I mean, Viper’s rant starting at 21:25 where he turned into MBL..
Oh I watched that…
I assumed the person I quoted was talking about people commenting on the civ before release, not after.
I was referring to before release, but was moreso referring to in general. I haven’t bought the DLC and I don’t play multiplayer so I haven’t experienced the Khitans aside from a few videos, and this Viper vid wasn’t one of them.
But yeah your point about balance testing–or the lack thereof–is completely valid.
Almost like maybe most of those civs were intended for another game mode where balance isn’t as important, and then they were only switched to MP civs at the last minute.

The 3k civs yeah but Jurchens and Khitans shouldn’t have been intended for a different game mode, you’d think they would have been better…

Neither, but if you’re really not trolling, you should probably take a moment to think about why your behaviour looks like trolling from my point of view.
The way you play the game and your lack of interest in historical accuracy are both completely irrelevant to whether communication around the Three Kingdoms DLC (or other recent DLCs) has been clear.
And indeed (to try to bring this back on topic), recent communication has been so unclear that I don’t think we can infer anything from the Instagram post at the start of the topic. Even the most obvious and deliberate hints – actual screenshots of new content – somehow managed to be misleading for the Three Kingdoms.

Looking at it a day later, it was a misunderstanding on my end.
And yes, I agree about the communication regarding DLCs (or the game in general ever since AoE 4’s announcement) as it has been lacking for years.

They posted again about an existing campaign (Barbarossa). New DLC coming?

Half way between Burma and Germany is Iran; Persia DLC confirmed!
(I know you’re trolling me, but I already conceded its probably way too optimistic, so i’m just going roll with it at this point. I already admitted i’m basically grasping at straws for them trying to fix the 3k mess that the logical part of me is resigned that they probably won’t fix)

No. They have been posting these for months.
A good indicator that a DLC is coming is checking https://steamdb.info/app/813780/dlc/ from time to time as unannounced and upcoming DLCs will usually pop up as “Unknown App” there.
They never listen to those who have the knack for knowing good civ places or expansion concepts
I have a habit of checking that. I don’t think no more DLC is coming this year.
After the recent track record we at least need a long break before the next dlc. they obviously don’t know what to do with the game and are throwing anything and everything at the wall.

That’s my guess as well. Ig the next DLC could be the Alexander one for Chronicles.
