Question for the DLC
Hi, I just purchased the game but it seems I don't have the free DLC.
Is that normal? Thanks.

Which free dlc?
If you think of this one: "Ultimate Admiral: Age of Sail - Barbary War", i think its not free as it has a price tag.

Barbary War used to be the last chapter of the American campaign. People were complaining it didn't really flow with the rest of the campaign so they separated it into a DLC and everyone who bought the game before that got the DLC for free.

Can you buy it somewhere WITH DLC?

So the DLC was part of the game? Some people complained so you separated it, but this "part of the game" was still free as DLC. But now you are asking new customers to spend extra for that part of the original game, that previous customers have for free? And it's 15 dollars, ouuuch?

Before when the Barbary Wars was part of the campaign, it was only like 4 missions or so and not really fleshed out. Now it's like 8 or 10 can't remember but they definitely added enough new content to make it a DLC imo.

The main reason why people wanted it separate from the regular campaign was that your character, fleet, and money from the Revolutionary War didn't carry over to the Barbary War (which makes sense since it's like 15 years later) so it felt like you were starting over an new campaign anyway.

To make up for transferring the Barbary War missions to a DLC, they also added a new European chapter to the regular American campaign.

It was a gift to early access buyers, nothing wrong with that
No reason non early access buyers should have it for free

Hi, to clear things out, in initial campaign the player's fleet was reset because historically US disbanded the Navy after independence. Players did not like that and we REPLACED that chapter with a semi-fictional chapter with Jones adventures in UK seas. The new chapter was a bit larger than the cut off one.

We took the cut part, reworked it and added 4x new content. We released it as a dlc but offered it for free during the EA (more than a year), to giveback some of the support we've received during the EA to our great fans.

Currently the game is offered with a 10% release discount plus another 10% royalty discount for all the players who have at least one game of the Ultimate General series at their possession.

If you had been keeping tabs on the Game's imminent release and bought it a couple of days ago, you would have received the DLC free with an early access order. They even stated such on their store page. It's not like it was a total surprise. Early bird gets the worm so to speak.

edit> I'd wager if you have the patience and wait a few months, you'll be able to catch the DLC on a good sale.

Ok, with this behavior i think i will wait until the game and dlc get a real discount.
Don't pay half the price of the entire game for a dlc which should be in the main game.

Welcome to the market where costomers don't throw their money away....

Yep very rare for a new title to launch with DLC on day one
I can only think of 300 or 400 that did it recently

How exactly does it make the base game worse by having dlc for sale?
