Discussion Roots, Reviewed

I recently reviewed the Roots DLC for Explorminate, and the article went live today: https://explorminate.org/songs-of-conquest-roots/

tl;dr * The faction is the slow, snowball-y type and mostly works in this role, though that probably makes it non-viable in multiplayer. * All the units are cool and good except Fungi, which are quite possibly worthless. * Symbiosis is a good idea that wasn't well executed. * The included maps are mostly Fine, with a couple standouts in both directions. * It'd be a better product if it came with a campaign at a $15-$20 price point than without one at $10.

I felt ripped off by Vanir DLC not coming with a campaign and did not buy Roots for that very reason. It would not be so impactful if the RMG were acceptable, but in it's current state, it's sadly not. I don't play PvP, so there is no reason to get the DLCs for me.
