FG2 + 1 dlc, which would be best to get?

[LaskaMan]

I am going to buy FG2 with the sale and probably invest a little extra for one of the dlc. Which dlc do people think should be the first to get?
Thanks!

Onslaught- hands down
Best mode
Give barbarian actual fly units

Empire Aflame gives you a long campaign to follow the first campaign (Invasion). That's the safest suggestion.

Onslaught gives you a semi-random medium-length campaign which you could play multiple times due to the branches of the campaign. It technically takes place in between Invasion and Empire Aflame. It also has historically received more updates (new heroes to play) over time, because of the semi-random nature.

Well the main campaign will last you quite a long time. Your fine just buying the base game for now as the expansion packs aint going anywhere unless u wanna grab some while they are on sale.

I never tried onslaught for any length of time but I did try empire one and ran into a bug where I could not continue I believe its fixed now so I'll have to come back to it another time but I remember Empire Aflame was a good campaign along with the base game.

If you want to add diversity to your runs : take Onlaught
If you want more story : take Empire aflame
If you want to feel like you're playin HoMM3 after playing HoMM1 and 2 for too long ? Take Evolution.
