Captain, I just want to say that this is a great "expansion", IMO the equivalent of a whole new game with the same engine. And more on point, the unpredictability of the hordes is great. Just when you think you may have things under control, a horde is thrown across your borders due to one tribe pushing another out. I can only imagine how hard this was to pull off effectively, but it appears CA has done it. Great game so far, so much more than the usual buildup and conquer mode of most 4X games.
