Comment: No significant improvement since last submission - still no evidence this is notable on its own. CoconutOctopus talk 14:15, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Even with the sources, it does not seem notable as an independent article. As an expansion pack, it can easily be detailed in the context of Call to Arms though. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:44, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
