A lot of negativity here feels rooted in comparing this to the last DLC, which had 6 civs—but that was an outlier, a strategic move to revive the game. This is a standard DLC, not a rescue mission.

Lancaster plays beautifully, and the Knights Templar is genuinely one of the most unique civs(or variant civ) we’ve seen—deeply thematic and refreshing and it's nothing like French.

If you like what you see in gameplay vids, go for it. If not, that’s fine too. No one’s forcing you to buy every DLC. Value is persona! but not everything needs to be for everyone.
