Really? I wasn't aware of an expansion pack. What a pleasant surprise.

I've played the demo and it seems really good.

So did I, I played a game as the Persians. I love the Perso-Indian city graphics but in the demo the architecture for the Persians stayed the same into the modern age, I hope thats just for the demo and that they get a new modern city set too. Thats just a trivial concern though.

Another thing, though cool, the governments didn't seem to make much differance. If, say, they gave your more important benifits, like capitalism giving you 2 extra caravans or despotism giving your higher population that would have been better.

Finally, the campaigns look like they could be pretty good. Also looking forward to playing the revised standard conquer the world, from the little picture it looks like north america has been altered a lot to include more territories and there also appears to be a new territory near nubia.

My real question is; when does it come out in the UK/Europe?

I downloaded the demo yesterday and played two games so far. Great game! Everything looks very polished. I may have to buy the game and the expansion even though I don't have much time for games.

The good part about the expantion pack is that it is comming out on my birthday

 

[Paalikles]

Indeed. This is a definite "will buy", as soon as I can shuffle enough money to get it...

I reckon it would come at around 250-300 NOK, if more I ll just wait...

Great additions to the game. Campaigning is something I look much forward to do.

Also discovered that RoN is a nice game for a LAN

BTW, is it possible to save the game in the trial version? I don't see the option anywhere.

I dont think so. I dont know since I have not downloaded the trial version due to its *ahem* Huge download.

I'm probably going to pick up this expansion as well... eventually. It does seem to fix my only complaint with RoN, and that was the lack of a story-driven campaign like those in AoE.

Makes you wonder when the combined version will be out(original +expansion)?

I've been playing the original demo, I'm too lazy to order the whole thing and i'm tired of havings lots of boxes!
