If I was cynical, I would suspect it's a deliberate leak to gauge interest. But I'm not and I fully trust company PR.
Btw, it would be a good DLC if the elephant units have a good combat AI and it's low priced, so it's not a bad idea.

sad!
agreed, it's way better than Bethesda's famous Horse Armor DLC as well. If they deliver a proper DLC with a low price I'll pay them for their work, indeed. Just hope the price will be a sensible one, that's all.
The way i see it, its not about if its an elephant, dragon or a ridable duck....it disturbs me that the the game is clearly lacking content left and right as mentioned by the thousand of posts, and instead of suprising us with some some interesting new in-game features, content is already being paywalled (or at least in preparation of said) while the game is neither finished nor fleshed out enough. These kind of anti-consumer practices are the reason many formery beloved game studios have fallen from grace (creation club). When the game is finished, and you decide to make the game better or adding significant content, i have no problems with buying expansions. But working on dlcs mid ea with all the above stated content issues is just not ok. You dont have to agree with me, but i also want to adress my opinion and concern.
What are you guys talking about? Players bought the game at full price. Also, the game is still in EA -which has been used for every single critic -. So, why are you trying to pay more to the company which couldn't hand your full product to you?
If you think TW having financial problems and that's the reason I can't deliver a good product, I do not agree with that. The problem is not about the financial status of the company. It shouldn't be. Foreign people couldn't understand how much TW earns from the game.
Let me explain it. Let's do simple math.
Step 1 - Let's say TW sold 2M copy. I guess they sold more than this but let's assume.
Step 2 - And again let's say TW makes a profit of $10 from each copy. That makes $20M.
Step 3 - One US dollar is approx. 8.37 Turkish Liras today. Let's say it's 8TL so, that makes 160M Turkish Liras.
Step 4 - The minimum wage in Turkey is approx. 3.000TL. Of course, this is the minimum wage and most of the TW employees could earn more than it but just focus on the main calculation. And minimum wage is $1.250 in the USA. As the mighty Google says.
Step 5 - Under these circumstances -which are lowered already- with the money TW earn from Bannerlord you can hire 16.000 people with minimum wage in the USA. However, you can hire 53.333 people in Turkey. It's more than 3 times. I guess you might understand what I meant...
Also, TW may benefit from some laws in financial matters such as tax deductions in Turkey. This is governments support for the companies which are working in some business areas. I'm just guessing it and my reason is the location of TW HQ. On the campus, TW HQ is in, the companies can use the benefits I mentioned before.
From my pov their priority shouldn't be the DLC, they should focus on finishing the game and completing the EA process. As a company, they can focus on the next money source. It's understandable but it doesn't mean I agree with it. And at these circumstances, I'm not going to pay even a 1TL to them until to see what is the end product is going to be.
And there is a difference between EA Games and CD Red Project right? One is milking their player and the other one listens to their players. So, I'm really wondering which road will TW take from now on.

I wouldn't like paid DLC in an EA title.
However I also think that Elephants as a DLC makes more sense than just adding them to the base game.
I don't know if I would like them in my campaign since I suppose an actual war elephant would be hard to balance.
Let's just hope it's free.

Wait, who is then working on console port?
With danEn's permission...can the guy that has finished his tasks and is developing elephants please redirect his amazing work to horses?would be nice to have ultimate mounts on the base game, just saying

Regarding the topic in question... What do you think of this model, more asian or african? Let your imagination run wild...

All I care if it's tall enough to protect me from the mighty looter and his 30 cm wooden hammer when i charge. What's the fun if I can't smash them under it's feet?Regarding the topic in question... What do you think of this model, more asian or african? Let your imagination run wild...
Actually i got question regarding this. I remember that in XML there was information about kicking. So that means that you planning to add feature like that to the game? Or maybe its already implemented but its unknown?With danEn's permission...

And regarding your question, African elephant look more aggressive and overall better in my opinion.

what about one of those oliphants from LotRWith danEn's permission...

Actually it depends what they mean by this. Maybe its just fricking elephant then its bad, but maybe this is part of bigger dlc for example addition of new culture with fricking elephant then I'm ok with this.
well then it ain't a small side project that a developer did when he/she was bored would it? Like overlord Callum says it is.
I personally dont care about how much money TW made, or if its moral or not to work on DLC while in EA.
I only ask myself: would I buy it? And the answer is yes. If TW made a dlc per week, I would buy all of them. Because I love the game and I have no money issues. Also, gaming is my main hobby. Even though I probably paid 500-1000$ for league of legends skins and like 500$ for paradox DLCs, its still a pretty cheap hobby for me, cause I played for many many years and got thousands of hours of fun.
