DLC discrimination!

Sentinarian · 04-02-2012, 03:30 AM

I know that this has (probably) been posted before but I couldn't find it immediately so I'll just start a new thread.
I've recently restarted the Road to Independence campaign to try out the elite units DLC's. You can imagine my frustration when I discovered I couldn't use them. I've purchased them, but they're not showing up on any of my recruitment tabs. I found this strange at first because in my Russian campaign the DLC is still available to me.
After some browsing I discovered that this is (of course) a Steam related error as they have patched to game and now, all of a sudden, the game is broken (sounds familiar to Shogun 2 players?).

So I just started playing and guess what? I found myself in a battle against a British army containing the 33rd Foot and some other elite unit. So I can't use them but the AI can??? WTF kind of BS is this???

It's not a discrimination, of course most DLC is wrong, but this is only happening for YOU. I have no idea how to fix it, BUT you must have researched certain things in certain provinces and took over certain provinces to recruit them! ^^

I own every single one of the required victory provinces, except for the two southern ones (which are being besieged as we speak). Most of the provinces have been fully upgraded so that is not the problem. I've discovered some further problems whilst playing. Not game-ending problems as I'm kicking every faction's ♥♥♥ US-style, but it's just a shame that I've paid for it and now can only enjoy the elite units by playing against them...
