question on unit sprites from Origins

[bluerat]

in multiplayer, if the host owns Origins do the clients get the new sprites too?

sorry if that's a silly question, we are just trying to decide who should buy what :)

Everything the host has active will become active to all players in a multiplayer game regardless of what they bought themselves.

Is that really true? I always thought only the aspects of the DLCs which are already in the base files can be used by the other players and that unit models and music which is in the DLC folder doesn't get transferred. How does eu4 get the unit sprites if the DLC is not installed? Does it download the dlc111.zip from somewhere or is all the DLC data transferred from the host to all players?
