Strange Marketing and CC around the Three Kingdom DLC

The best marketing ever for a DLC, it is selling like crazy

I suppose the marketing was releasing the DLC content to everyone a month before its release so people can test things out in the editor.

You mean doing nothing?

It went up in sales across those regions since you made the post.
In Taiwan AoE2 itself is rank 1 now.

Yup and the DLC is rank 3 there.

Also, to give some context on how the previous DLCs performed, I digged a bit into Steam’s weekly charts when each previous DLC came out:

Both Victors & Vanquished and Chronicles: Battle for Greece did not make it to the weekly Top 100 during their respective release week, however, AoE 2 returned into the Top 100 in both of those weeks.

I decided to check other countries, too, even obscure countries like Turkey, and from what I’ve seen, the Three Kingdoms are generally in the top 30,40, 50, 60, 70, or worse, 100. However, there’s one exception: the United States. The DLC is not even in the top 100 list, while the game itself, which got a huge discount with the Xbox Publisher Sale, was in the top 80 position. I don’t know whether what we can argue with this data exactly, and I haven’t checked the first week’s pre-order numbers, ofc. However, this is still an interesting data.

The DLC just released and I already found a translation error in the Brazilian version


This should be O Clã Sun, not O Clã do Sol

At least they finally fixed the campaign completion badges.

#55? That’s really bad for a new release.

By the way, best announcement video they ever made. Cool dialogues and soundtrack. Hope the campaigns are up to standards.

edit: the pands in the end lol

A de Return of Rome tá uma tristeza só e ninguém arruma mesmo eu reclamando

I just noticed, the soundtrack in the video is from one of the Red Bulls

Fiz um tópico listando todo erro que encontrei nas tech trees mas nem responderam. Tem uns poucos erros humanos (“Coustillier a unidade única da Bulgária”) mas a maioria é só “erro” de tradução automática. Duvido que eles consertem tudo, porque é muita coisa.

You mean, Red Bull tournaments?

Yep, it’s this track:

Also, something must have gone wrong, because non-NA civs went back to not using the new regional monk skins
Even the monk heroes with unique-ish skins seem to be using the default monk skin instead of the correct ones.
