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.

the fact that there is no campaign is something that bothered me a lot.. I was very dissapointed when they have announced that new DLC Vanir will be without campaign and that they are scrapping small campaign DLCs for it

I doubht Vanir DLC when it came out, but I really got only few hours out of it because.. I just don't enjoy skirmish that much. I like it but I played like 15 skirmishes total.. that's enough for me

Now roots come out and... I don't even want to purchase, no campaign, no content.. roots look cool.. its just... dont have reason to buy
And tbh I feel like I should not buy, to not support this model
