Exactly. There will be couple of new elite units that will cost crowns, but all other stuff is completely free, in addition we are actually including new ways to easily gain crowns.


I really hate to set a specific date - as we always manage to get stuck polishing and fine tuning everything. Lets just say that October release is likely.


Yeah. This expansion will be distributed just like any other patch, and download size will only be around 350mbs.


There will be a little bit of new homeland stuff, but no - Siegeworks expansion takes the game outside of your town and onto the greater realm. And while this might disappoint some - what`s better - having another wall upgrade for your town - or being able to control and fight over 28 other towns with other players?:)
The brand new, and bigger homeland designs with sea-shore locations will be part of the High Seas expansion - but we can`t reveal too much yet.


To clear the misunderstanding - there will be sea-shore towns that players will control and fight over, including amphibious sieges, BUT these are not new homelands.

when he says october, he means like Dec or Jan. Still no army lag fix!

As Kon said, soon is the better answer, I believe you guys agree with me when I say it is better to be worked out and late than bugged and right away...

The main part of my statement was:

And yes - October is likely, but we just can`t make it official just yet. We should have a specific date set later in September as work progresses.

That will most likely happen in a second expansion rather than in Siegeworks.

So whats the word on the expansion? i have just come back from a bit of a break and owuld love to get back in and have a new expansion to toy around with =).

Kon may have been a bit optimistic with his October release prediction.

Progress is being made on the expansion, but we've had to divert some of our time towards Steam Greenlight, Desura and other projects which has slowed things down a little bit.
