I've been pretty much insta-buy on every dlc that came out since I started playing, starting with Taurox's dlc, and this is the first one I'm gonna sit out I think.
Pricing for chorfs could at least be argued but the math for Shadows of Change pricing just doesn't add up. Especially for other regions.
It looks like the price is off and the mediocre amount of new units and innovative faction mechanics can’t change that, but I see where the money for development went.
CA said multiple times in the past, that the quest battles take a lot of development time. That’s why they started recycling most of them for multiple factions in former DLC or have as few as possible. Imrik was a surprise back then with his dragon battles for free.
For this DLC they brought up 6 battles for Kislev, 4 for Cathay (haven’t played, no idea if is correct) and I don’t know how many for the changeling all over IE. That had to be a ton of work, but CA fails to understand, that most fans don’t give a duck about these battles. Instead, they should have created more units (lords/heroes) and better implement the factions into their race. I want to say though, that I enjoy the cinematics and change of objectives in contrast to the usual battles. Ostyanka and the changeling battles were fun until now. Looking forward to do the rest of the changeling and Yuan Bo battles at some point.
Kind regards, Kainsmasquerade
