DLC ed Espansioni

[modifica | modifica wikitesto]

Sono stati distribuiti ad ora molti DLC che modificano l'aspetto, le musiche o gli eventi di alcune nazioni, e questi vengono chiamate "flavor DLC" poiché non hanno un grande impatto sul gioco, ma ne migliorano marginalmente solo alcuni aspetti.

Vi sono poi invece le espansioni vere e proprie, che modificano più o meno radicalmente l'esperienza di gioco, aggiungendo una grande quantità di meccaniche. Alcune di queste meccaniche, a discrezione degli sviluppatori, vengono solitamente aggiunte in una patch gratuita per tutti, mentre le altre sono disponibili solo a pagamento.
