Should I get La Résistance?

[bisp]

It's on sale right now, and I have all the other gameplay DLCs. I've heard mixed things about it. Do you think it's worth it for 10?

[ZenFlakes56]

yes

[RoastCoffee]

Yes, except in the Total War mod (which is usually very good). For some reason, the spy stuff doesn't work so well. But in basic game, just fine.

All of the DLC is worth it considering how many hours you can put into a game like this. You're better off just using mods if you aren't going to go all in on the DLC. The focus trees in La Résistance are probably the best Paradox has done IMO.

I'd would recommend the first four dlcs that came out. Play those for a while and then decide if you want to get the newer ones. Imo I don;'t really like la resistance but that's just me.

Yes and no from what i have heard. On one hand, you get a upgraded spy system which in theory is cool, but in practice screws over your ability to easily occupy nations, and means that occupations are just a perpetual manpower and equipment dump that might not ever end, unlike before where you could just slap out a bunch of cavalry divisions and just make more when you need to occupy more territory.

I also imagine that it really screws minors over due to the civilian factory cost of actually making spy agencies being pretty high both upfront and in the long run.

In terms of equipment you get armored cars, which are more efficient for garrison duty if you have the factories to spare, and you also get recon planes. I have no clue what these do, and am actually curious about that. But you have those new bits of equipment at your disposal, so hey, there's that.

So it can actively make your game worse and better.

Personally i am getting a bit more experience with the game as is before i step into la resistance.

Spies are pretty much useless in solo games (except for compliance), the free French focus tree is already pretty big. Spanish civil war is much longer with the DLC and i don't want to be mean with anyone but i don't really care to play with Portugal ^^ .

Depends,
i played it with and without the DLC.
It does not really add much, since you can do some things from the diplomacy menu without the DLC.
The industry blueprint exploit though is something i would not want to miss in achievement games ;)

If you get it cheap, get it. If not... well, i am neutral.
