In terms of new, the expansion is a collection of 'all new' additions only in those areas that matter least: a new campaign, new unit models and several new historical battles. Maybe someone is looking to revive the ' com' fashion of the past as the whole layout feels like nothing else but that. Anyway, whereas the Steam service has a friendly interface and allows unlimited downloads and CD/DVD back-ups (I guess everyone is familiar with the system), to have a back-up for Alexander one will need to search deeper in his pockets for a couple more fees.īesides the 'basic' RTW: Alexander download, the distribution system will allow him to choose for one or both of the two seemingly useful rip-offs: a CD or a digital back up option. God knows what sneaky mind came up with the idea, and I guess it will be better if we never know. To the astonishment of some, the latest Creative Assembly release swims in the same 'downloadable-extras' soup. It looks like the fashion started by Valve's Steam distribution service has reached new heights after the recent Oblivion pony-textures (called armor, in the Bethesdian taxonomy). This is the year of downloadable extras for bestseller games, no question about it.
