A New Expansion?

Check here.

Apparently in the latest preview of MTW2 in PC Gamer it also mentions a "mini-expansion" for RTW based on the conquests of Alexander. Seems like it's going to be online-distribution too. Can anyone confirm this?

EDIT: Some more info, from TWCenter.

That sounds cool.

waiting some more information in detail to confirm this information!

I cant wait for confirmation :)

It's the latest edition of PC Gamer UK, to be more specific.

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

Not that I've seen it lol.

I hope this is not a joke. I will love the setting.

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!!!!

hope its not a joke either.
if it isnt it be great!

PC Gamer states March...which isnt that far feched...

Hellenes

I would assume that means March for the UK and Europe correct?

I'm in the Eastern U.S. I wouldn't imagine it would be here before mid summer...

just speculation of course though

Scans courtesy of Mooselord over at Totalwar.com. Hope this doesn't need to get taken down:





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.

Awesome! I might get to play as my namesake

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.

Oh, thank you!

Well he's not charging people for seeing the screens, so legally it's more like he bought the magazine and wanted to show his friends the cool news!

no, I was reading the March one.. is it in the American PC Gamer, or the PC Gamer in England, because I read the March issue of the PC Gamer in America..

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?

The first option sounds so much better. If it's "mini" expansion, I guess they could release it for free.
