Testing for the third expansion opened a while ago, unfortunately I didn't see that it was for the steam version, also.

Are we allowed to know which armies/eras the upcoming expansion covers? Just curious - I'll buy it anyway, but it would be nice to know what it is I'm looking forward to

It’s a secret until the announcement

OK Jomni, secret it is then.

What do people hope for with the upcoming expansion?

I hope for Byzantines! Especially since it is Byzantine Games after all.

Well there is a forum usergroup called "Field of Glory II Age of Belisarius Beta" which might hint at the contents of the upcoming dlc
I wish they announced the release date already!

Thanks - I can't see any such forum usergroup but that's a very good hint indeed. I hope no-one pokes your eyes out* for providing that info
cheers

* historical/legendary reference

I'd love to see some medieval armies too (Crusader States and or HYW stuff) but I think we will likely have to wait a while for that. They will probably do lots of Classical and Late Antiquity Ancients stuff first I imagine.

Agreed about the crusades/holy wars. Either way, I look forward to all the expansions, I can't really think of anything that I wouldn't like to have.

Actually we are more likely to chain him to a rock and send an eagle to eat his liver.

Couldn't you send something Swifter Than Eagles? (hint)

It would be really great!
Expecially because we never had the chance to see it on FoG ...

I'll interpret this as the quasi-official announcement of the next DLC

i ll leak it, it ll be world war 2

i was astonished when i saw it and thought it wasnt gonna work but after playing for 5 minutes in beta i realized it might be better than vanila

It's already been (officially) mentioned elsewhere on this forum the next DLC being play tested is Age of Belisarius. I suppose the only real question is the time period and armies. I am under the impression it is not the same as Decline & Fall in the original miniatures version.

This is why I love this forum!

I've been reading my Decline and Fall in preparation - whether it covers the same time period or not, it's good revision.

The things i like about every DLC for FOG2 is that i will have tons of "painted" armies and terrain inside my pc on my desk ..... a dream come true for every (too old) wargamer

I totally agree with Adraeth
