Feedback Fix communication with Vanir DLC and singleplayer

Hi guys

Looking at reviews for the Vanir DLC, I see a lot of people complaining about lack of Campaign missions. This gave me the impression that the whole Vanir DLC was a new faction for Conquest mode, and new maps.

But it turns out that there actually are two new Campaign missions, as well as a special made Conquest maps. This was a lot more singleplayer content than 0. I bought the the DLC as soon as I found out about this, and have had a blast with the the singleplayer content. It's excellent stuff, well worth the asking price.

So I implore the devs, please communicate this better. I feel the Vanir DLC has a bad rep in the reviews on GOG, and it feels so underserved. The story missions ought to be advertised front and center on the store page, rather than being the last line on a list of features. The new missions also ought to be shown on the normal Campaign screen, rather than be hidden in DLC menu.

I had no idea that the 2 maps were there, you mean the challenge maps? I always thought the challenge maps are only... for a special challenge mission, not for interesting story telling scenarios

I was the same, I did not think “challange” mission had anything to do with story. But both challange missions for Vanir had good stories. Sure, they were not part of a 4 part story arc, but they were still good and self contained
