Dev Diary #35 - Ways of War: Tomes and Wildlife

Hello again! I am Luis Ferreira, a senior designer at Triumph Studios. This time we are going over the Tomes and Wildlife that will be available to you on the first pack of our second expansion pass, Ways of War.

[...]

Conclusion

And there it is, tomes and the wildlife! I didn’t go over everything that a tome has but I hope this gives you a taste of what you can play with in the future, when Ways of War releases on the 5th of November! Hope to see you there, and join us next week for another Dev Diary!

More information.

I sorta wish Triumph had never worked with Paradox... just too many DLCs.

Yep it's going to be milked for years to come, as it's Paradox's moneybag right now.

It's actually their only hit game this year as the rest flopped or were cancelled.

I got the season pass #2 for this. I hope they manage to keep at it.

We cant be friends anymore were is the ignore button?

Just kidding.......though none of the DLC as been notable in my opinion.

Just like most Paradox DLC.

i did read trump (which is equally bad ;-) ) but yeh, not a fan of DLC either.

I noticed that Stellaris has moved to a subscription model where you can rent all the DLCs for a monthly payment (which might make sense seeing they sell the DLC bundle for almost 300 €!). Will other Paradox games follow?

Be prepared for this in case of Bloodlines 2. I assume it wont be total flop so they will try to milk new Vampire clans. Or other things (but not horse armor, this time ).

Looking forward to seeing how they impact gameplay when Ways of War drops in November.

I remember reading a few clans would be DLC so your correct.

Maybe armor skins and other smaller cosmetic DLC's might be released as well.

I bought the new expansion pack too. Happy with what they've done with the previous expansions and looking forward to the new ones. For anyone who doesn't like the DLCs the base game is perfectly playable and it benefits from free updates thanks to the expansions so there's that.

Said this I hope it doesn't become a new Stelaris as I want Triumph to create new games and not just milk one for eternity.
