I think this will be similar to the M2TW KIndoms Americas campaign.where you keep getting 'presents' and 'money' from Constantinople for reaching every stage. I would have preferred a rise of Islam campaign over this or even focus on Justinian himself, rather than a general. Furthermore there are a few factions that are missing here.(so far anyway).
How can Constantinople not be included in the campaign map. I think once you have completed the game, the re-playability will literally be zero. Any tips You might wanna strike them out 1 by 1 with your 2 generals or lure a 2vs 2 after buying moore troops for your armies. Why not just follow the Imperator Augustus model in Rome 2 and make it a grand campaign? At this rate, with no future DLC planned, I would much prefer a Rise of Islam DLC on the grand campaign map. Too hard for me, HELP (Last Roman DLC) I cannot for the life of me defeat the 4 Vandal armies that come at you shortly after the beginning.
The lack of other cultures from the african, eastern and other northern factions will make the novelty of this new dlc wear off fast, it will have zero longevity.
Incredibly disappointed, been looking forward to this but the decision not to make it a grand campaign is a bad one.
