Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I think it is not a fake:

- Fraction icons are made stylistically similar to 9 main factions,
- Warriors faces are the same as preview screens,
- The typical dirty shields,
- Spartan cuirass is the same as Pontic cavalry,
- Cavalryman has the same cuirass as Lusted presented in Exclusive Content.

I hope it's true, and I really hope that Bubo as the Athens icon. On the Italian page it had the release date of October 17,2013. I've been kind of racking my brain over that. All of these are hypotheticals but: Is this DLC released on that date ? Does that mean Rome comes out earlier? Are they released on the same day as a pre-order bonus ? Hopefully it isn't a hoax and it all gets cleared up in the next Rally point. Either way pretty cool stuff.

Yeah i think that this is the first official date we have. It seems that the game will be actually released earlier which is great news (unless its full of bugs) the extra factions make me happy but im afraid that the game willbe verl heavy on the dlc side.

Maybe they'll release the DLC before the game.

Most of our suspicions confirmed now. Pre-order DLC. If the September 3rd release date holds up that would be perfect for me. Labor day weekend, and I can take an extra couple days off to play. My only concern with this pack ,s that now we're up to 12 factions; most of the starting points are going to be central / south east of the map. I know history is important, but this makes a lot of factions centralized in one area. That's my only gripe and it's a minor one.

****** **** ever... why not put it in the game, why pre-order DLC... **** this...
