are you really complaining about new content and expanded features

Yes. Especially after the last one's lackluster reception.

I had thought that the reviews were fairly positive, so when I read this, I looked. Indeed, the reviews for Empire Divided are Mixed. But, reading the top four recent negative reviews, two of them claimed that there was nothing new in the DLC and another claims that it has invisible units.

In actuality, there is a new disease system, a new politics system, and a new banditry system. It's sad that those first two reviewers didn't even take the time to notice those huge new systems before writing such inaccurate reviews.

Also, the reviewer with invisible units has a mod breaking the game, so that review is inaccurate too. I haven't looked through the rest, but I suspect that many more of the negative ones are just as flawed.

EDIT: The idea that promoting civil rights and equality is somehow a bad thing is really mind boggling to me, but it's a funny old world.

No one's saying promoting civil rights and equality is a bad thing, surely a man of immense intelligence like yourself knows that. The people who are referred to as "SJW's" are those who are doing the exact opposite of that. They are called Social Justice Warriors mockingly.

The definition I provided was the top result when I searched for Social Justice Warrior, which was:

"Social justice warrior" (commonly abbreviated SJW) is a pejorative term for an individual promoting socially progressive views, including feminism, civil rights, multiculturalism, and identity politics."

And so my following comment was in relation to that.

That definition also pretty much matches my own experience of being accused of being an SJW because I do stand up for people's rights and believe strongly in things like civil rights and equality. I have also seen it most commonly used to try and shut down or dismiss a person's views, much like "fanboy," "shill," "hater" and "troll,"

That said, others have since provided other defintitions for Social Justice Warrior in this thread, and further research on my part has shown me that it is used in a variety of ways and contexts. I still don't think it's a particularly nice term, but I do now understand that the context in which it is being applied is also relevent to the meaning.

All the Best,

Welsh Dragon.

In common parlance - if someone even vaguely normal says this to you in real life it's pretty uncontroversial because they obviously mean Wolfie Smith not Rosa Parks. I mean "warrior", right? Every part of the term SJW sounds noble and the implication is that the person is/stands for none of those things - it's openly sarcastic.

Don't get me wrong - of course like anything else left/right wing extremists and overly literal people get hold of it so some people mean "anyone who isn't as right wing as me" and others say "you obviously hate equality if you use this term" and it turns into both of those things. Sad really. I wouldn't assume that when someone says it, though.

Disclaimer: I don't speak for everyone. Just an observation.

Edit: for weirdly grumpy tone. I have no coffee this morning.

Rome 2 is great because of the diversity of factions, units, leaders, etc. Plus, in antiquity there were leaders of all races and both sexes. Quit trying to play the victim, white people don't own history lol.

He's not implying that white people own history, he's stating that Cleopatra was white, which she was.

There's no real evidence for this, check your sources. The likelihood she was black, or Eastern, or white is pretty much the same with the sources we have. And no he didn't claim that, he's complaining that a DLC called DESERT KINGDOMS features too many black units and women leaders, when in reality they were black and in the case of Egypt, had women leaders. Anti-SJWs fragile masculinity and insecurity is embarrassing the rest of white people i swear. Like you can't get any dumber

For ♥♥♥♥♥ sake, Alexander the Great himself was more inclusive and progressive than these losers complaining about diversity in ancient society.

Lol everyone is claiming Greek history like crows. Cleopatra was a descendant of Ptolemy, so she was Greek and so she was white. The woman in the cover photo isn't Cleopatra, she's a queen of Kush.

People like you are always quick to call others dumb because you're of such superior intellect when, in fact, it's you who is the idiot. Quite literally everything we know about Cleopatra points to her being white. She was a descendent of the white Greek Ptolemy and was, herself, white. Also, you may want to brush up on your history of North African/Arabian inhabitants because during the time in question very few of them were black. A large portion of the people living in North Africa were descendents of Greek colonists.

It isn't that simple, even though you'd love it to be. It is possible she has Egyptian blood, and wasn't pure Macedonian. And I'm not claiming Greek history but apparently Im better read than the ones who do.

Lmao you believe North Africa was predominantly white during this time. You literally couldn't be more wrong. You're thinking of the elite class, but the common man and soldier was surely black. Again, I don't have to claim you're dumb, you just proved it. Please read more history.

Sorry for the trigger bud, but North Africa was certainly not predominantly white. Maybe don't get your history from movies?
