I'm a true fan of total war games specially Rome 2 but this dlc is One of the worst Dlc's in total war franchise! So boring and repetitive after few turns. The campaign AI is still terrible and stupid and while you recruiting the best heavy melee infantry in game they will recruit spear levy (Levy spam is real) and light infantry which is really dumb!! My first campaign as Aurelian was totally disappointing. After 4 or 5 turns of creating my army and recruiting stuffs,I started to march through the lands and i could easily steamrolling the whole regions and no enemy armies could stop me just because enemy AI is so passive and you can finish the game so quickly because it is not challenging at all even on highest difficulty level which is a shame.

Here is some of the pros and cons for this dlc review:

+New factions
+New units
+New events, mechanics and features (Cults, plagues and banditry)
+Some cool features from Attila


-Recycled gameplay and plenty of bugs (such as graphical bugs)
-The research tree is very basic and has no real branches
-The models don't even look remotely historically accurate
-Not very good looking unit cards
-Campaign AI is so terrible and easy to beat even on highest difficulty
-Combat animation is totally ruined with this new dlc update
-Enemy AI is infantile, and they can't build infrrastructure
-Germanic units praise "Roma Invicta"
-Badly glitched graphic
-Campaigns feel short as factions can be killed off easily
-Textures and unit bugs (models body part missing)
-No family tree
-Diplomacy among the factions is pointless
-No historical battles


So basically a glorified MOD with mostly recycled stuff and a few features from Attila, Heck even modders can do better job and its for free. I strongly advise you not to buy this dlc at least wait for Sales like 75% you don't really missing anything cuz It's incredibly boring and AHHH let's not forget that CA completely destroyed Combat animations with this new Dlc update! I don't know why but instead of fixing their game they like to release an unfinished Dlc with full of issues and bugs for such an expensive price ffs CA!!

3/10
