Hi guys
Erado sent me a few questions which also match with with whats been going around at the forums so here goes.
Q. Can we ask questions about the expansion pack and its features, something like QT1 where each person could ask 3 questions and have them answered by some of your staff.
A. Certainly! put a list together like before and I'll see what we can do!
Q. Consult a wish list and vote on the items
A. The Add-on pack is feature complete, but as close to meeting as many of your wishes as possible based on the feed back from the forums etc.
Q. One question that is debated the most at the moment is whether this will be an expansion, i.e. a set of add-ons to the original game, or a Shogun:Gold edition, where it is a re-release of the full game with add-ons.
A. Add on pack for Europe. Full version of the game with the extra features of the add-on pack for north America (i.e. a gold edition, you can buy just the add-on pack from on-line from EA.com).
Q. At one stage some time ago you announced that parts of the next release would be available for download, for people who already have the original game.
A. These have been incorporated into patch 1.13
Q.Will there be a version mismatch between players with the Original Game and players with the expansion pack?.
A. No the add-on pack release will coincide with an update of patch 1.13 which will enable all versions to play together on-line.
Q.Will the new units be available for online play as well?
A. Yes, but if you don't have the add-on the units will not be available to you. However if you are playing against some one who has the add-on pack you will be able to see and fight thier new unit types.
Q.Will armour and weapons upgrades become available in online play?
A. yes the same rules apply as above!
More details and images to follow in the new year, till then have a very merry Xmas
