Oh that's very generous of you, sadly I already own them so it doesn't affect me, but if you can see fit to do the same with Rome 2 and Atilla, I'll set off some fireworks...cheers

Thanks for deleting my post. Please include workshop support so we can mod out all future “improvements”

So for existing owners of the games and dlc, all we get is a name change in the Steam library? Seems like a really pointless excercise, no benefits?

Speak for yourself, I just got free stuff.

Well as I said existing owners of the game and all dlc all we get is a name change, you obviously did not have all the dlc.

Nope, but this is obviously not for people who already have the DLC.

Nice move from a branding perspective. Consistency is King. Even though this sort of adjustment was necessary and vulnebrable to the principle of brand alignment (started with Shogun 2), it is unfortuntely an underwhelming move for the community. Yes it is a industrial trend, filled with Remastered, Remakes and Definitve Editions, but this one is sort of a dissapointment.

From a distribution perspective I I think it does offer benefits, might induce trial for those people who never even tried the old titles of the TOTAL WAR franchise before and draws a few smiles upon players who didnt own all DLC yet( I persoanlly didnt own any DLCs for ETW, so yey, however it was pretty much unplayable without Modifications and felt a bit dull in vanilla).

I hoped that CA would dedicate a least some ressources in polishing up or actuallly improving the so called Definitve Editions over the originals, but here wer are....

Either way that was my short remark on this update. I had to write it, since I noticed this namechange(thats what is is for me) instantly. I was looking to launch Napoleon Total War...
Thank for the free DLC though. Great idea.
Lastly, please dont forget the fact, that you have a massive fanbase for the "Gunpowder Era" titles.

PS: CAElla, look at how you labeled the discussion thread. It is Total War: Napoleon now ;)
[Update] Wow actually it got updated. :)
Upadate: If I were you I would change the name for all titles. What about Rome and Medieval and Shogun. And how about offering those 3 dinosaurs for free?(preposterous I know ;)

Yesterday I watched 2kliksphilip Total war video. Today I was interested in seeing more about it, thinking of playing Napoleon again, then looking for a good mod, then wanted to go to the steam forum and read there. Stumble across this.
What a funny coincidence.

Anyways
Thanks for that. Like Louyonne said:
It drew a little smile :)

lol, well I would say wow thanks CA but as I owned everything that they just gave away for free ...anti climax.
Nice for those that dont though I guess but a little something something new for all the nice customers that PAID for this content and helped pay all your bills and wages for all these years would have been nice rather than reward those that did not.
A new unit foir example ..all it would have taken for EVERY customer to get something.

So no fixes whatsoever? Just a name change and free dlcs a decade old? Wow, thanks for nothing

lol people are complaining...

CA, give me back my games. I've honestly bought them. You have no right retrospectively old games into storefront for your new DLCs.
"Gifting for free" me game I've bought for my money, then ruin it like you did with Rome 2, and sell me new DLCs I've never asked for.
For those who still don't get it - upcoming updates mean ruining compatibility for all existing mods as well.

Well I appreciate the sentiment I suppose I reckon I had most of the DLC already except maybe some of the obscure units from Empire. As long as it doesnt break mods then I have no issue with the rather out of the blue change.

You should include an Emperor Edition FreeLC like with Rome II. Doesn't even have to be that in depth. Add more factions to main campaign, perhaps a DLC for several factions like Kingdom of Italy, Bavaria, and Poland for multiplayer battles. You know... something new and fresh to see. Possibly updated graphics. Just something.

Don't get a community's hopes up only to let them down. Come on. >:C

Edit: Also, perhaps improve the roster for some nations like Portugal. That'd be nice. Now's the chance to work on mistakes.
