Yes, but that's what the two other grand strategy series (Civ and Total War) said when they made Steam mandatory for Civ5 and Empire respectively. Those games did not give me the kind of experience that would make me rejoice at Paradox finally taking a similar route.

The printed manual is strictly a personal preference and I have enough old ones to read on long train rides. :) I do hope they make an effort on manual quality for their flagship game. They peaked with the excellent HoI2 and EU3 manuals, but I think the CK2 one was the worst since the manual for the original Vicky.

Having said all that, I'm still delighted with the announcement and have every hope for another glorious game. My question concerned two personal pet peeves, and I did not mean to sour the mood by dwelling on them.

CA and sid meier have bigger budgets , and PDS doesnt . Nevertheless ;a day to rejoice it is! :)

This might sound stupid, but if I get the deluxe edition, do I also get the 100 years war unit pack?

Yap ,prepurchase is prepurchase . Doesnt matter which edition you ,as long as it is before release youll get it. :)

You guys gotta be trolling me. Really? The day after birthday you guys release the most awsome game ever? Couldn't you guys just released it on monday? There's NO logic in releasing it on a tuesday except if you guys are trolling me.
Now when it's my birthday I want it to end as quickly as possible just to play this goddamn game. NOT FUNNY PARADOX! NOT FUNNY!

Does it mean that If we order in July or later, we cannot get the 100 years war unit pack?

Is the hotjoin function going to work at launch? After preordering The old Republic I am hesitant to ever preorder again. I want this game but I can wait if the Hot Join doesn't work right away.

The system requirements on the about page need to be updated. It only says "Internet connection for multiplayer." without mentioning that it'll be needed for installation and activation too. Gamersgate and so presumably all other retailers do as well] the official about page really ought mention it.

Quick questions:
- Whats in the 'Star and Crescent DLC'? Doesn't seem to say anywhere.
- How does pre-ordering on GG mesh with the 'steam-only' policy that the Devs have made very clear to us?
- If we miss the June Pre-order deadline, do we have the option of paying for the June bonus?

1. A bunch of new graphics and flavour events for muslim countries
2. GG will give you a Steam key.
3. I'm sure the dlcs will be avaible for sale once the game is out (or a bit later)
