Does the price of buying all 3 games stay the same, since you can either buy a bundle at 75% off or buy them seprately on sale 75%? From what I'm seeing they disable the bundles for the sales. Is there a cheaper way to buy it?

Rant:

This level of penny-pinching is making me not want to buy the game. They make you buy all 3 games, buy each dlc for 10 year old game, hide basic options behind pay wall and juggle the bundles, because god forbid you actually get a deal buying this game. On top of that the whole dlc system is the most confusing out of any series, specifically made to force players to buy things they don't need.

I've downloaded my first Total War game (pharaoh) and the thing is like crack. I want to play something more pike and shot, since it doesnt exist i think this will be the closest. Is it worth buying it as a standalone or is it vastly inferior to shogun 2 or empire/napoleon?
