Suggestion: Make Chronicles of Greece a standalone expansion independent of buying the base game

The problem I see with the approach is they might not be wanting to allow players unlock the rest of the civs. The three civs are cross playable with regular civs as I understand.

Doubt splitting the docks will make too much of difference. Rather will slow down water gameplay. You can’t garrision your fishing ship unless you pick Dravidians. I already explained pop space problem which’ll never make the water game any better. Think I suggested in other water map threads, I’ll explain again.

  1. To solve water maps. Separate economy and military shipyard like the DLC/R@W mod is doing
  2. Introduce totally different pop space for naval units.
  3. Introduce a new building tab where you’ll have Dock related buildings
  4. Ship creation icons in Docks sucks real bad. You have to go through pages and its extremely annoying. If old Medieval civs decides to stay on one dock then at first page bring every ships and in second page bring every techs. Otherwise split it into two docks with 3rd building page.
  5. Allows fishing ship garrison in Docks and shoot like Town Center for every civs,

Regardless I have lost total interest in water anyway. Because of how bad it is at core. Even Ensemble devs hated it. Either do these changes above or no amount of DLCs will ever fix it.

You can easily make it not cross-playable with few lines of codes. Not a hard thing to do. That’s how they handled DLCs all this time. In civ selection screen, you’ll see only 3 civs. while rest civs will ask you to buy the game just like new DLC civs.
I think a poll would be interesting to show whether or not people likes or hates crossplay. Romans already existed. Initially had backlash now people came to accept them. I feel same with the new DLC.

Yes but the devs don’t want to.

There already is one up.

I still see this DLC as a redemption project from historical mistake. If they repeats then yeah good luck with bad reviews or decline of sales. Good luck bringing new players.

Mmmm are you sure? They’re the first civ that would be removed according to a pool, doubling the second in the list.
