    Default Sorry, no pre-order for me

    No pre-order for me. I'll wait for the reviews first. Before they show me some decent in game footage that does not disappoint I'll just play some more RTW. I highly recommend everyone else to do the same! Ok, so Pontus is free but the Greek DLC is not? makes no sense, way to go CA!

    Why does it make no sense for them to charge extra for extra content? Pontus is not free as well.

    Last time I checked you had to buy the game to get the Pontus faction. "There is no such thing as free lunch."

    Well, thanks for that keen insight.
    Dominion of Dust. A city of sand. Built your world of nothing. So how long did it stand?
    A 100 years? Now wasn't it grand? Built your world of nothing. How long did it stand?
    What did you think would happen? When did you think it would all fall down?
    Domain of dust in a land of sand. Did yourself right, so let's feel grand.

    Yeah, cuz without the game it will be so ****ing awesome to have a few megabytes of worthless data. Serously, how do you come up with that stuff?

    And yes, I understand what you mean, obviously it means "free if you legally bought the game, not pirated it off TPB."

    Your point? It's completely stupid to talk about how Pontus or these extra factions are free. They're not.

    the game isn't out so all work until shipped should be considered part of the product, otherwise release the game today. Its just a money grab and people like you are justifying it by calling it "extra" work. I'd understand if it was some far off faction but not the Greek States which are literally central of the map.

    By that logic accessories of any product should have been given for free as well. Fortunately, that's not how reality works.

    Of course it's a money grab. That's how every business works.

    Well, does it have to be? I think that companies actually gain a lot of favour, if they hold some sort of moral code when it comes to DLC, at least that is what I have gotten the impression of.

    Please, I advice you to refrain from slandering others opinion. It is both detrimental to the discussion and it is outright offensive to StephanVos, when you say that no one wants to hear his opinion.

    Pontus is free and also they win a lot from preorders so that is why they let it be a bonus for those who do it. After game release the Greek Culture Pack is a purchasable DLC.

    Does the sun have to shine? Your question is a similar one. Businesses are conscious about what they do to the level that they have the luxury to do so. Companies who gain favour from their higher moral code do so because they either have funds to do so or because they use it as a marketing strategy.

    Also, just because CA has DLCs doesn't make them lack a moral code.

    Can you play as Pontus without paying 60 bucks?

    It's always smarter to wait for the reviews and reactions on forums like TWC before taking the plunge on a $60 game. There have been some horrible game launches in recent memory like SEGA's Aliens game; and for CA, Empire's release surely raises a red flag.

    Ill plunk down $60. Shogun 2 was good enough for $60 even though I paid $30. I'm sure this will be atleast as good as S2.

    Besides what's $60 2-3 hours of work, a trip to the bar, a meal with your girl, a night at the movies? I'll risk $60 on this game.

    Ps. Even if CA royally screws up they are allowing mods and those can fix anything.

    I can't bring myself to trust the reactions from TWC.

    Nope, you can't and that's the point.

    For me to play the Devil's advocate I'd have to first think that they're the Devil.
