Funny you should mention this, but after inquiring at the games store, Electronics Boutique today, they quoted the date as 3rd August. Make of this what you will.

I've got mine on pre-order from gameplay. They've got two dates published: 27 July and 3 Aug.

What is the real date supposed to be?

- Our girls fall for samurai and they'll go chasing after them.
- If the bandits come they'll cut our heads off. We'll worry about the girls later.

I don't know what the real date is meant to be,I still hope for the 20th July like the site promised, but I am bracing myself for Friday or Monday's "honor day", in which a slippage to August 3rd may be announced. What does everyone else think?

I don't even want to think that they might push the date back again. But if they do I'll just wait longer.

Hmmm... interesting... notice Aug 3rd is TWO WEEKS from July 20... Make of it what ye will... but it just the same 2 weeks we are all used to!

I guess July 20th seems to be the release day of STW from the factory stock. Then you know, you have large wholesale, medium wholesale, small wholesale, large retail, medium retail, and finally small retail. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/mad.gif Also takes sometimes to process the orders and mail it to us.

I don't mind your joke Hach, even if it's comedic value is paper thin. It is just I am being unnerved by the increasing touting of August 3rd as the new release date, even by Electronics Boutique. Still, I hope you are right.

I feel sorry seeing some of you guys who obviously are dealing with this kind of crap from EA for the first time. If you've been in any other EA games, particularly their online ones, you know this is just standard. I don't even expect them to be able to keep promised dates, for the most part they are MONTHS off from projected or even promised dates.

While we're talking about this expansion pack, I've decided to announce my own cheap ass 16 bit expansion pack that will be in the works when I finish my cheap ass 16 bit Trucker Fighters demo. I'll have it on the Won Ton website soon enough... I PROMISE to have it by at most... sometime next year. To find out what trucker fighters is, go to my website at http://wonton_home.tripod.com/clan
(hehehe, cheap advertizing at its best)

Hope Mongol Invasion release date is not
postponed again! I might be tempted to
open the DIABLO 2 and Baldur's Gate 2 ex
packs I bought and leave STW temporarily. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/frown.gif

I posted this thread for a chuckle'as i thought that creative would never have the balls or audacity to phuck us around twice'but from the replies i have seen i am worried.

I e mailed richie a few days ago to ask to confirm july 20th and have had no reply.I usually get a reply same day from him.

So far today there has been no honour posting on .com????

I phoned ea.uk who told me 8th aug and my local eb say 3rd aug.

Funny how they call it honour days'when they seem to have so little honour themselves.

I expect we could be shafted again.

Hach,

In spite of the near fatal stroke suffered by many, I thought the joke was absolutely hysterical and truly characteristic of the general cynicism expressed here at the Dojo.

Well Done!

Vanya......August 3rd....two weeks after July 20th.........ROTFLMAO!!!!!!! That is just too perfect! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/tongue.gif

thanx m8

actually i have sympathy for my fellow dojo members as i was a former member of the old dojo when we were all waiting for the original game to be launched.

and believe me that was a long wait with many many postponements.
Richie Skinners ears must have been burned reguarly.

I am slightly worried'but i still have faith for july 20th.

quote from Richie a few weeks ago.

"Hello and welcome to today's Honour Day. We can confirm The Mongol Invasion add-on pack has now passed CQC and has entered production, for release on the 20th July 2001"

The add on has passed it's quality checks and is in production'so there is no reason for it to slip any further behind.

hehehe hach,

i'm giggling here at the old jokes we were making about the expack quite a while back. i believe my original estimation was xmas 2001, while others of a more skeptical nature, were saying xmas 2002. i think i'll be closer, but i wouldnt want to stake my house on it ;)

most likely, if it's gone gold for real then it will be out close to when they said.

the only rumors i've heard about a new date come from in here. i've not checked with the local babbages of late and i know when i was checking with them that i twice got a new date, so maybe i'll drop in there over the weekend and see what they're saying.

I saw the date on Amazon as being July 18, and then July 20. I just checked 1 minute ago and it says "This item will be released on July 25, 2001. You may order it now and we will ship it to you when it arrives." I think an early August guess is gonna be the closest.
