o A comprehensive army builder which allows you to design armies to a specific number of points and then take these armies in to single player against the AI or online in multiplayer. This adds almost infinite replayability.

o A new Line of Sight option. Games can be played with or without LOS. Hide battlegroups in terrain, behind hills or other troops. Beware of ambushes!

o Baggage camps which appear in battle and can be looted for bonus points. Some armies are allowed to fortify their baggage.

o Temporary fortifications such as palisades which can be defended.

o Over 100 new unit types including camelry, scythed chariots and artillery!

o 5 New terrain types - broken ground, impassable terrain, open fields, vineyards & steep hills.

This sounds great...

Do you intend to keep them all separate or do you think you'll make a "gold" version at one point...

I can also imagine that this could take quiet some time so it's probably better to buy the games as they are released, no?

Another question: if i buy the download version, can i install it on 2 computers (me playing).

Thanks

We'll probably do a bundle at some point but not in the near future.

We're trying to discoutn for early adopters so probably best to get in on pre-orders.

You buy a single serial number, which can be installed on more than one machine but always synchs in to the same account so nobody else can use it.

The really cool thing is you can play turn 1 at home, your opponet does their turn and you can play turn 2 from another PC without having to copy and save files - the server does it all automatically for you so you can play from anywhere you can log in :)
