Now all this talk has got me wanting to play this game again. Then I noticed there are DLC I never knew existed, any of them worth getting?

Honestly, I like just about all of them.  The Loot Pack and Quest Pack are probably my two favorites, but they've all enhanced my experience with the game to a pretty fair degree. 

The one exception is The Dead World DLC:  The undead faction is neat in concept, but I find it's simply too under-powered to be very much fun.

Until now I did not know that:

A. Fallen Enchantress was still actively played and supported
B. Had DLC

My wallet, it hurts.

Next thing you know CT one of these fellers will post a link to the super deluxe discounted version with all the dlc included. Maybe even a coupon for a newer pewter dragon.

Incidentally, Brad posted the patch notes for the 3.0 opt-in beta: 


https://steamcommunity.com/app/228260/discussions/0/3039354735029045781/



Spoiler: ShowHide


- Tile yield update on screen aborts immediately if the terrain is invalid for a city (perf)

- Fixed crash bug where garbage characters could get inserted into a scene node

- Increased the map tilt further so you can see more pretty stuff

- 0Calc Military Might now longer force updates the battle rank of units. (perf)

- AI city updating is now multithreaded (perf)

- CalcBattleRank changed to automatically cache the battlerank of the unit (major perf boost)

- Units now always get a battlerank of at least 1 to ensure caching of battlerank

- Sub-units of an army are no longer recalculated unless expressly ordered

- Thread safe city count method added

- Fixed a crash deadlock

- AI monsters less likely to attack a city on lower difficulties

- Monsters now use a cached combat rating to determine city strength (performance)

- Fixed multiple crash deadlocks

- Unit vector sized at 10 at start to reduce increments. (perf)

- Timer update increased from 1ms to 0.5ms

- Conclaves provide more research but less production and money

- Fortresses provide more production but less money and research

- Towns provide more money but less production and research

- New improvement: Tower of Knowledge. Provides +1 research per essence

- Tiny map size increased to 5x3

- Small map increased from 5x4 to 6x4 (20 to 24 sectors)

- Medium map size increased from 6x5 to 7x5 (30 to 35 sectors)

- Large map size increased from 7x6 to 9x6 (42 to 54 sectors)

- Huge map size increased from 8x7 to 12x8 (56 to 96 sectors)

- Wrote a replacement for toupper() that is much faster

- Lots of new quests

- AI improvements

- Quest based champions added

- Units take slightly longer to produce to balance the availability of more champions.





The bit in particular caught my attention:

Quest based champions added


So in addition to the new quests being added, apparently we can now also get new champions as rewards for some of these quests as well.  Man, I love this game.  8)

Bob's right, though:  The DLC is definitely worth picking up.  >:D

I promise I'm not a paid shill for Stardock.  I just drink the Kool-Aid, is all.  (I can quit anytime I want; I swear...)  :idiot2:

Haven't played this one in awhile but man, I'm going to have to dive back in.

Somewhere, somehow, I woke up in the wrong timeline. I'm pretty sure this isn't even my dimension.

'The DLC is definitely worth picking up' he says as my wallet squeals some more.

Shut up wallet you're gonna be fine!
