realms to reign as gods among mortals, and players will rise to challenge their rule using Tomes
of Magic to unleash arcane destruction and evolve their armies, gaining new abilities and forms.
For the first time in the series, players can create their own custom factions, and leave their
mark on countless worlds through each choice they make.

Does the existence of several DLC and Expansion before the main has even come out, strike anyone as worrying? How much did they cut out before deciding the base game is sufficient?

With over 50 hours in it, it didn’t feel like *anything* was missing. I think it says a lot about how confident they are in their product that they’re already planning expansions and extra content. Take that for what it’s worth.

I mean, considering how long development cycles and how large teams are now, it makes a degree of sense. The people that are really busy doing the initial asset creation and development of the game usually aren’t the same people that are currently working on the game right now, only a couple of months before launch, but you still want them to have something to do.
