Thrones of Decay: Pricing.

[Mechanicus Loremaster]

My biggest concern (and quite frankly, the only thing that would stop me from buying all packs) for Thrones of Decay is the pricing. The current pricing for total war warhammer 3 dlc is absurdly expensive, making it literally cheaper to buy entire other games. The new way of dividing the dlc into the individual factions is a good move...but the fact we still don't have a price listed anywhere I've seen is conserning. Anyone know what the plan is for the dlc price? Will there be a discount if you buy all of the dlc at the same time?

We do have a price 23$ for the full pack and 9/lord buyed separtly

[Mechanicus Loremaster]

Ah! That's not too bad

It's not the DLC that's expensive. It's WORK that's expensive.

They didn't stop working at this game. Ever. Since Warhammer 1, to 2, to 3, with all its DLC.

And catching up to all of the work is yea.

Like trying to say, buying 100 League of Legends champions is expensive because they spent 5-10+ years creating an ensemble lineup.

Compare it to a regular game. They work on the main package. You pay the 30 to 60 dollars. And that's it. No new content.

mate its like $25 usd total, thats honestly pretty reasonable over all, especially since you can choose to buy them seperately for like 8 or 9 usd instead, with them appropriatly being discounted as you purchase them to match the pack price. Like, out of all the dlcs ive seen in this series this is the only one where price is kind of not a concern to me.

Still not worth it considering most units are reskins.

Yup, reskins.

Shogun 2?
Yup, you guessed it.

how much do you get bottome line now? 3 legendary lords; lords and heros as a token effort to bump up the numbers, and how many units? excluding regiments of renown since they reskins with stat boosts and limited to 1 unit

vs pricetag and the amount of entertaiment you can get out of it, remember ai is still the same ai, i doubt that nurgle units got cheaper to recruit, attrition change still hasnt been reverted due to daniel; ai has still a base attrition reduction of 90%

sieges remain untouched, how many other factions turned obsolete? how many no fun allowed positions got created?

not to mention there are full price game or game expansions you can get for the same if not less money and pour countless hours in.

wait for the releas and objective reviews, i am sure the empty suits can wait a bit for their bonus to fly in

20 quid is absurd? Not this again, ffs...

So are all the mediocre free to play games avaiable in Steam since you can have dozen of hours at no costs.

They are still mediocre however, so
That's not a good metric to value a game and its price.

Not saying ToD won't be good, it probably is, just wanted to empathise that line of reasoning is flawed.

No such thing as "free" if its marketed as for free, you bet that they have some insane tuning/♥♥♥♥♥♥ qol to make you pull down your pants and bend over so they can force those micros in there

Mods can solve all this issue, so dlcs can be worth only thx to mods imo

The pricing model has been disclosed by numerous sources (e.g. https://www.pcgamer.com/games/strategy/total-war-warhammer-3s-thrones-of-decay-reveal-has-finally-made-me-excited-about-the-game-again/)

Quoting the PC Gamer article, you'll be able to purchase the DLC piecemeal. If you just want Tamurkhan, you can simply buy that faction for $9/£7.49/€9, which is similar in price to the old Lord Packs (though they included two legendary lords). If you want the lot, you can buy the full DLC for $22.92/£19.10/€22.92.

There was also talk of a 15% discount on any subsequent purchase if you buy each part of the pack separately. Not sure if regional pricing will be applied though.

Literally the first answer, obtained from the official ToD announcement blog.

alright lets compare this to tw2, i think the hunter and the beast is a good comparison. DLC was about the same price as this upcoming one, it had 2 new lords, 1 unit for each, no flc content, and no faction wide mechanic addons. Just 2 dudes duking it out.

How about the crone and the radiant, 2 new lords, 2 units, no faction wide mechanical adjustments, no flc, just 2 ladies duking it out.

Do I really need to go on about how this dlc literally adds so much value for its price tag relative to CAs average? Like, you say 3 lords and a handful of units and all i can say is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ they added more than 1 unit in a dlc pack and they added proper flc, thats some good ♥♥♥♥, and for like 25 usd thats not too bad.
