Question on DLC from new player

May 31, 2017 7:14:38 AM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

Greetings,

I was wondering what DLC veterans would recommend I get to complement Crusade in GalCiv3. Back in the day I played a lot of GalCiv2, loved it and now I'm hoping to be mesmerized by this game as well. Maybe Crusade is enough to start off with, but I'm curious about what DLC you folks feel add the most flavor and immersion to the game. 

Thanks!

The Merc pack is a good 1st choice. Lost treasures if you want a few extra insteresting stuff and ideology events is 2nd. I got the Builder`s Kit (it includes actual letters and numbers, every useful)  cos I like as much customisation as possible and finally the Mega Events cos I like interesting random events.

 

But the Merc pack is a good 1st start.

Thanks a lot, Seafireliv. Much appreciated. I'll take a closer look at the dlc you suggested, starting with Mercenaries.

I don't want to spoil the fun and principally I agree with the suggestions, but be advised that some of the DLCs are not fully adjusted to Crusade, e. g. there are mercenary ships that do not work correctly under crusade like those that give influence bonuses (experienced myself) or can construct starbases with several free modules (heard from others).

But I assume these bugs will be squashed eventually.

Mega Events, 

Precursor Planets

Builders kit. (building and designing your own ships is almost 1/2 the game).

I didn`t know that. Seems to work ok, but I don`t go over the fine details like some do. Probably need to play more to see the effects.
