Persia 550 - 330 BCE DLC development is proceeding fast.

You won't have to wait for long for the the first expansion for Field of Glory: Empires to be released, we will be revealing its Release date very soon.

In the meantime, take a look at these new screenshots, featuring nation traits, Egypt and its neighbours, angry spartans and more!

Stay tuned for further updates

Will there be "major" upgrades, like new mechanics or something similar? I still have to discover the main game (my bad )

From its official product page:
"Features
Regional decisions
Each nation will get a new set of tools to further his goals, with regional decisions:
. federate some barbarians,
. form up a new colony,
. force march an army
. prospect for natural resources
. … and many more
Impediments and Boons
The new campaign starts 2 centuries before the Empires campaign.
Numerous peripheral regions impediments and boons have been added. For instance:
. you might encounter Impenetrable Forests, Nauseous Swamps, or other hard environmental conditions
. Bandits
. you might be blessed in some select regions by a rich soil, an oasis or a sacred grove.
There are more than 80 Impediments and Boons
Special content
Major nations of this time have seen a ‘special’ focus. Don’t expect to play Persia as you play Athens or Lydia! Events, missions, national modifiers, special units and specific buildings will make you play differently. "

What about being able email/PM opponents?

Love the game

The main thing I'd love is to be able to position my troops prior to the commencement of battles.

Also in MP when playing real time online I don't see why I need to click the forward arrow 3 x at different phases during the turn transition to keep the game moving forward. Surly I click end turn, opponent does same when he's ready and the rest happens automatically. Please fix !!

And a 3rd request : could the influence of decadence be adjusted -- say 3 setting. 1 as now, 2 50% less and 3 off completely ?

Yes please add a way to privately message your allies or other player countries in general, in Multiplayer

You will find lots of people complaining in the forums about this. An even better solution to what you suggested is just fix the auto-deployment/positioning of troops (like always position the highest ranged-attack unit on second row - this is very easy to fix).
