    Question 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?

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

    Not that I've seen it lol.

    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.

    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.

    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..

    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...

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