It's out http://www.paradoxplaza.com/news.asp?ArticleID=295&Page=News

so anybody have it already? I couldn't resist and bought it on saturday :blush:

so far, I like it, though the changes seem to be pretty minor, but most of the changes make sense and add to the game, IMHO :)

I don't think I'll be using the Doomsday-converter since I don't own that game, but for those that do, this could surely be a fun addition.

and $10 isn't that much.

what's fun is that with 25MB this expansion pack is smaller than most patches by other manufacturers :lol:

Yeah but those 25MB is mostly text, and 25 is a LOT of text :D

I bought it the day it was available for download on gamersgate, and i love it :D

Started a GC with Italy and im close to 1936 now, invaded France an occpied their entire European mainland :D

I love it too, so far, thoug I'm only in 1870 so far...

I just love my capitalist, the suckers build all the stuff I would have to build otherwise (factories, railroads) :mwaha:

the colonization system seems to be much improved too :)

Yes capitalists rules :D

I think some might call my taxation system unfair tough, the poor and middle class are taxed about 30% now, the rich (capitalits) dosnt have to pay taxes at all :rolleyes:

:lol: yeah, exactly. let the poor beggars pay all the taxes to support my state :evil: though my poor taxes are usually quite a bit higher than yours, since I seldom use tariffs and similar.

but now that I figured most changes out I'm thinking of starting a new game, but I just don't know who I should pick....

after a week of play I can now safely say that I love Revolutions :D

the economy has gotten less tiresome, some tiresome micromanagement with building railroads has been virtually erased :)

and there are some interesting new concepts like the politics limiting your actions (promoting foreign pops only with full citizenship, not able to promote soldiers as pacifist, etc) :goodjob:
