USS Constitution?

[NimitsTexan]

The USS Constitution is the Play.com exclusive unit so you will just get it from Play.com because that is what exclusive deals are about, if you order the special forces edition from Play.com you will get the special forces extra units and the Play.com exclusive USS Constitution.

As a "Yank," I don't believe Play.com is an option . . . which is bugging me. USS Constitution is my favorite ship of all time; it should not be a UK/EU exclusive . . .

The US answer for the Constitution is Best Buy. The UK (and possibly Europe) answer for the Constitution is Play.com. There is another exclusive unit available in the UK (and Europe?) called the Death's Head Hussars that is available from Game. Amazon UK is supposed to have an exclusive unit as well but I didn't see it listed what it is. That makes me wonder if Amazon US has an exclusive unit.


The Special Forces Edition is supposed to have six additional units. I'm guessing that these are the same units if the game is purchased through Steam or through retail (Best Buy, Amazon, Play.com, etc.) for the SF edition.:

1) HMS Victory
2) Rogers' Rangers
3) Ottoman Organ Gun
4) Ghoorkas
5) Corso Terrestre Guerillas
6) Bulkeley's Regiment

Amazon's special unit is the Dahomey Amazons. A female musket unit, probably skirmishers.

Here are the exclusive units:


3 pre order units

USS Constitution: this unit is available when playing as the USA and your technology has sufficiently advanced. It may also be captured by opposing factions.

Death’s Head Hussars: this unit is available when playing as Prussia and your technology has sufficiently advanced. Prussia must also hold Brandenburg.

Dahomey Amazons: this unit is available when holding territory in North Africa.

I hope all you North Americans have access to Old Ironsides.

I would get more of a conformation than what another site has to say. Call the Company. I do hope it is available from Best Buy but you best make sure.

Otherwise see what the shipping is from Play. There is no shipping fee in the UK or Europe from them. I don‘t remember if they sell world wide.

I'm about 90% sure based on the Best Buy websites. Both the US and Canadian sites have the same box cover pictured and in the upper right it has what looks like a ship: US Best Buy E:TW. It can be seen a little better on the Canadian BB site but not much (they have an image that is a bit larger).

If I get a chance I'll run by BB today to see if they have any information about it. It's better to see it for oneself than to ask people that work there, or at least that's the case with the local BB store.

Apparently Play doesn't deliver to the US, not surprising really with Amazon, Best Buy and other options available here. It does look cheaper at Play if I did the conversion correctly but it doesn't look like BB has marked any off yet, which I would think might change by the time that it's released although I don't remember that being the case with M2:TW. Play is showing it for £29.99, which seems to be about $43.25 (US) or close to $7 cheaper than BB. Those numbers are of course for the regular edition while the SF edition is about $20 more.

I haven't seen any mention of the Dahomey Amazons being included. Was that on the UK Amazon site? Notice on that link that it mentions E:TW under Popular Culture.
