Collectors Edition

[Hosakawa Tito]

I just pre-ordered the SF edition from Amazon. I live in the US. Here's what one gets:

Special Forces Edition includes six additional Special Forces units include: HMS Victory, Rogers' Rangers, Ottoman Organ Gun, Ghoorkas, CorsoTerrestre Guerillas, Bulkeley's Regiment .
Also includes an Intricate Campaign Map. Only in the Special Forces edition, players will receive a fold-out Campaign Map that they can use in the single-player campaign to help them strategize their world take-over.
Includes The History Channel Revolution DVD. The award winning series tells of a remarkable group who transformed themselves into architects of the future and built a new nation unlike any that had come before
Includes The Art of Empire: Total War art book. Complete with concept art, fans will love this behind-the-scenes look at the vision of Empire: Total War.

Not as good as the Aussie version with Compass & nautical box & hip flask. Though I imagine you'll have to supply your own rum.

Wow. That's a lot of good stuf. I may have to change my plans and order from Amazon instead of Steam.

I've been watching the History Channel programs on the Revolution and they're quite good. However, I'm looking forward to the Art Book & Campaign Map. I'll be laminating the map and put it on the wall by the monitor. I'll just fill up my own hip flask, for *hic* medicinal purposes and get my nautical compass out of the boat. Prop my feet up on my nautical igloo cooler filled with beer and kick some 18th century butt.

Looking at the page now, seems to be $69.95 US, so effectively $70.

It's interesting to note that this is the same price the Steam version of the SF edition goes for, but the steam version only offers the units and makes no mention of all the juicy extras that come here if you buy it from amazon.

So, if you're going to buy the SF collector's ed and in the US, get it from Amazon (or another site that offers some nice stuff) and not Steam!

Seems that amazon us, amazon uk and amazon ca(canada) all are offering special edition. Gamestop and EB offer it as well but only with limited shipping.

Amazon international still just has the regular Empire up, but any empire is better then no empire so I don't complain to much
