Just downloaded it.  Not entirely sure it's worth the $5 yet  =/

A more detailed breakdown of what's actually inside the DLC would have been helpful. 

10 new leaders that any player could create on their own isn't worth much of anything.  If it brought some new clothing for the character models, that would be something.

I see [1] new item in the Sovereign creation screen
3 New Talents, though I would think Misandry should be unavailable for Undead (or genderless FWIW)

Edit:  I'm sure there's more than what I'm seeing at first glance.  Just not sure how much more

Edit#2: Figured out what's bugging me.  Getting a buttload of new Sovereigns, and still not giving a damn about them because there is absolutely no context as to why I should care about the inherent factions.  If there was an inclusion of a very small campaign where I could observe the new characters living in the world, that would be something.

Yeah... what? Even if DLC money means further development of the main game, you still kind of need to make the DLC "worth the money".

I have to agree that for the standart price of 5$ for a DLC I expect at least something that I cannot do on my own with a few free minutes. Right now that would be just some graphics for the new sovereigns which I dont think justifies the price tag.

Why not a few scenarios for these characters or add items only usable by specific sovereigns which would make them special.

Why not at least a quest for each of them?

How about special tech paths for different sovereigns for the same faction. ( it is hard to balance but since it is single player not really relevant )

Another idea would be to give all pre-created sovereigns unique jobs ( not selectable by player ) otherwise I am only using my own created sovereigns anyway.

I really like this game. I want to support the continuation of the series. Please offer something that justifies this price tag. Right now It looks like that this content could be given away free as a upgrade patch.

Well, this DLC is not very rewarding.

Moreover I was really disappointed for the fact that there is not even a new sovereign for the Undead race...  [e digicons]:\[/e]

I really agree that this DLC should be patched with far more content. You should reward your loyal customers, not only ask money.

Not everyone will have the DLC with the undead so I don't think they can will release a second sov for the undead.  They could patch the undead mod to add a second sovereign though, but honestly DLC are generally not dependant on other DLC.   Anytime Stardock comes up with a new idea we should not expect that all of the previous iterations be patched up to follow suit.  As far as the DLC, the custom abilities look interesting to me, but I kinda wish there were like 6 total but it gives some interesting playstyles to try.

In the future, I would like to see more face and eye textures, as well as more models, body types and animations.  Most of the animations and models are the same as when FE released. I would try more mods but my experience with mods are that they generally 

For future DLC, I think more monster packs and more wild land stamps would be nice.  Also, I kinda wanna see more variety in the encounters.  But considering they are all composed in XML maybe more encounter packs. Also, an in game item forge (MoM AoW2/3) would be cool.

As far as being more rewarding to customers they have released 6 free patches, as well as one this week, that includes content updates. Not to mention all the updates in previous iterations. And some of us got the game for free because of a previous promise Stardock made.  Pretty sure they need to make money "sometime".  They kinda are a business. Also, DLC is not required to play. You can opt in if you find value in the product. 

BTW, as I mentioned above if you could pick just a couple mods that the author is trying to keep the original feel of the game I would like input. 

If you don't have the time, skill or inclination to make custom sov's, then this DLC is worth the $5. And even if you don't think it's worth $5, you can always wait for a Steam sale.

That being said, I would have liked to have seen new factons, not just new sov's for existing factions. Also, a 50/50 split of male and female sovs would have been nice. Also, a lot more options for building a custom sov (I think there are only 3 new ones?), and the ability to edit existing custom sovs in-game instead of having to dig through the  XML files to edit.

Just my 2 cents.

The mancer leader starts with a horse and a new set of gauntlets.

They also unlocked horses and the sharp dagger for sovereign customization.  This can be done by a beginner modder in about three minutes.

I would say the content in this DLC is about on per with the others, which amounts to it being pretty weak overall.

As simple as it may be, I don't think people should have to wade through XML to create and edit custom sovs.

I actually think dead world is the only really good value for money DLC as the undead do play and look substancially different it's better than the others. I bought the DLC because stardock effectivley game me FE:LH free to say sorry for Elemental and so I want to support them a bit. But this DLC is a little disappointing though I will try some of the new leaders the lack of a new undead leader and the lack of many new objects, talents or careers.

Just saw that each leader was posted. I have a list of questions and comments for each that can be found here.

Please comment and generate conversation (in the hopes that SD quickly addresses some of the items [e digicons]:-"[/e] )

I'll also mention here that I think this has the good chance at being a decent $5 DLC. I can see that a lot of effort was put into its design. +1 to SD for that. Just seems that there are a few ...gaps... in the custom sovereign side of things...

Kinda disappointed in this DLC. You basically see everything cool in the screenshots and previews.   Only Renge, Asha, and Magesta seem unique. Other then that everything else could be created in the sovereign creator, with only the slightest modding by adding an all ready existing item or ability not normally available. I don't even think it has to do with effort or time spent on the DLC I have come to the conclusion that Stardock isn't very good at differentiating factions and sovereigns so that they play different. 

Even Renge and Asha aren't all that great. They have cool art but no unique traits to make them play differently. That's basically what it comes down to. There really just aren't nearly enough meaningful traits in both the main game and this DLC for sovereigns. For instance Renge has spider legs which when you get down to it make him unique in not being able to equip pants or boots, wow how awesome. The real difference between Verga and Verga Reborn is Verga Reborn has Death2 instead of Death 1 and Earth1... Serranes claim to fame is she has a horse.

Oh well, I guess I will try and mod in some cool traits for them to have.

I jumped on the Dead DLC without hearing how it was bugged and couldn't be used by the AI which still hasn't been addressed.  'Fool me once' as they say.   That could easily happen again with one of the two new powers they put in are bugged but then never fixed.   Looking back the last couple of patches have introduced new bugs while not fixing old ones, it seems like the game is in a worse playable state than it was two patches ago do it's not even 'fool me once' really.  Oh well.  Maybe LH 2.0 thing will set things straight.   I've been fooled a couple times here so I'll wait and see and in the meantime Age of Wonders 3 is fun for now.
