You need the Steam version to make them work? That is unbelievable.

I wonder how interesting they can really make the new units? Even with new models, voices, stats etc. they will still look very similar to all of the other units in the game. It really is nothing that modders couldn't add in if they wanted to. In this case I really think that quantity and quality are going to have to go hand in hand to make this worthwhile.

I think overall there are nine special units if you count the ones that are being offered as store exclusives. Even that number isn't really high enough to make me consider $20.

If we think about it mathematically $20 is about one third of a game (at UK prices anyway). So if they want to charge 1/3 of a games price then there had better be at least a large fraction of a game as content.

This is like horse armor all over again :(
