Read all about it here!

I'm really excited about this! Woooo! More AOW3 Goodness :)

halflings are back bitches

Filth throwing Dread Monkeys!?!? Holy crap, Sachys is in the game now!

But no frostlings. Alas.

Looks interesting, though.

The money run begins. Fanboys will scream in ecstasy for each 10$ "expansion" containing a bunch of fixes and one of the old AoW1&2 races. Ah, forgot - plus the "unique never-ever-seen" Seals of Power mechanics... :)

For me it's called the cynical robbery and creative impotency. It's the last time I have bought something on pre-order stage.

From what I understand, you don't need to get the expansion to get the fixes - they'll be available in a separate patch.

Whether or not an expansion is worth the cost is another matter. Game expansions were around long before the modern rip-off style of DLC (gouging for tiny things and/or deliberately yanking content from the release to make it pay-for), and at least some of this looks like new material.

So... no Golden Realms release today? :_(

Steam releases GR at about 19:00 CET, so depending on where you are it might take a while until release. The release of the base game was linked with steams time as well for no reason at all...

Same time zone as in Spain, so 19:00 it is then. Thanks :)

[F5]...[F5]...[F5]...[F5]...[F5]...[F5]...

No, it wasn't. I bought the base game from GOG because it was hours before it would be unlocked on Steam

The patch appears to have been released in the form of a new installer for the game.

So do I just download it and install over the current installation or do I need to uninstall the game and then re-install with the new version??

So they released it and it's currently .09 cents (USD)...?

9 cents? I payed $11.99!

I want my $11.90 back, gog! ;)

They've fixed it already. What an odd error. Oh well, I nabbed it for .09 cents. :-)

Yeah, that's a strange error. Oh well, I'm happy paying the $11.99. I think Triumph has done a great job supporting the game post-release.

And even if someone doesn't care for the DLC they can still benefit from the 1.4 patch which, according to Steam users who had access to a beta version of the patch makes a lot of AI changes and balance changes for the better.
