You perhaps were reading the February edition? The latest one is March, which contains the article.Quote:

Boy oh boy....Sega/CA sure have picked up the ball and ran with it since this past spring/summer when the merger (or "buyout" heh) was announced. Several patches, and expansion pack, and word of an Alexander expansion for RTW and MTW2?!
Does not get any better for a TW fan...we may very well be only NOW entering the height of this franchise's existence, which is amazing if you think about it.
Brian Blessed and Alexander yay
CHARGE!!!!

I'm in the Eastern U.S. I wouldn't imagine it would be here before mid summer...
just speculation of course though

Looks good I must say, although I hope there are at least 7 factions or so and a few new unit models, maybe animations even.
EDIT: See Post #32, this thread. -Kukri
Awesome! I might get to play as my namesake :charge:
:yes: ~:thumb:
You know scanning that in might be illegal, breach of copy right or something but I don’t particularly care ether way so thanks for that and don’t get busted.

Nice screens, sounds legit so I cant wait. Looks like it's for vanilla 1.5 I'd bet. And March,that's so...close :D
Those skins look much better than BI's so looking good I think it will be nice to conquer asia without fighting other Hellenistic Armies.
I wonder if were seeing a new strategy from SEGA/CA at this point? If soo I think they are pretty shrude to release dl:able campaigns to keep interests and sales up between releases. Anyway, if this is true a long yearned dream of mine has come true. Taking charge of Alexanders army and march on the east... droooool!
I also find the suggestion that CA may consider more "episodic content" if this "experiment" works out most intriguing.

"Mini-expansion"? What does it mean? And why hadn't we known nothing about it before saturday? And will it be published in few weeks? That's a bit strange. Oh, I'm reading right now that it can be soon dowloaded. Another strange factor. :) Well we will see...
So is this for free or a fee?

Wow - that's exactly the scenario I was originally hoping for in an expansion :jumping:
Thanks CA/SEGA :bow:
Good news, indeed.
However, I apologize, but because some magazines don't mind copying their pages, but some do, we must have a policy of prohibiting the display of scanned magazine pages, unless written permission is obtained from the magazine publisher.
Yeah sorry Kukri mate, I thought that might be the case. Hope there's no harm done.
In the latest newsletter it says they will have a special accouncement later this week.
Just got a newsletter from them where they tease me to have a look at their announcement this week and proudly boost "don´t forget, you heard it here first" - NOT! Don´t you just hate it when a newsletter isn´t a newsletter?!
No harm at all, my friend; your intentions (to keep us informed) were impeccable.Quote:

haven't had a chance to look at PC Gamer and I sincerly hope this is upheld by SEGA and CA. Although my (and others) caution come from the fact that there has been no announcment from CA on the main TW website yet. I know they've mentioned "something big" but I guess until we hear it from them, we'll all be worried its a scam.
Nah imo it's kosha, I just checked my inbox for the n ewsletter. The unnamed thing it mentioned cant really be anything but this. Also PC Gamer Magazine isn't some random unknown that publishes anything.Quote:

The magazine article just calls it Rome Total War: Alexander, but it's possible that's an unofficial title and may change.

To be honest I have no faith in CA to get anything right(OoB ,troop deployment or skins) and u can bet there will be a fee for their effords.
Just so u men know ,Megas Alexandros mod lives and it will be historical with correct OoB ,skins and deployment.We've had some setbacks and are now changing the scope of the mod.If u like to know more about MA go to
