According to the Matrix website it's been delayed by a "last minute QA issue".

Is there a difference between the versions of the upgrade kit being offered by Matrix vs what's on Ageod's website? Matrix & Slitherine have it selling for $4.99 USD, Ageod's site $6.24..

No, you can also play in French and German. And also Spanish, but some translation is missing in that language

Actually they are almost the same prices. You have to add the 21% VAT to Matrix and Slitherine Prices. I know this because I bought my upgrade kit from Matrix.

VAT, won't apply if you are not European

Nevermind my question, it looks like the site automatically added sales tax. Well, it says Estimated Sales Tax, anyway.

Actually, I'm a bit confused. I get charged sales tax on Ageod, but not the other two. Is VAT the same as sales tax? :confused:

Got it.

It would have been useful to have some instructions. (or were they there somewhere and did I miss them?).

First I started to install over one of my existing installations (leaving the other untouched for my ongoing PBEM).

But that produced a warning: folder already exists, are you sure?

So I chose a new location, but that installation refused to run, missing DirectX files.

Then I tried installing over my existing installation again, this time it was successful.

I glanced trough the new scenarios. They seem nice.

The regional decisions look interesting: a whole lot of options for sieges, some of which are limited in numbers, so this will become a new game in itself, when to use them.
I think these options are crying for a discussion on the forum :-)

And a regional decision to muster troops, yet another variant of recruiting.

And a scouting decision. I wonder how much it offers over the standard light troop and cavalry behaviour.

I think the overlays are bugged: political states and grand regions don't show up, and there is an empty button, and no weather and terrain overlays as announced. (nothing game breaking).

I bought it an hour ago on Ageod, got an email with the bill but no download link or key. I am just too impatient or did something go wrong? :wacko:

Look at the details of your order at the AGEOD site. It contains the download link (or it should).

I just noticed a minor glitch in the scenario selection. It seems to me that there are two copies of the 1757-1764 Campaign scenario.

+1 for this. No ledger buttons appear in my upgraded Gold edtion as well.

Still, a nice makeover for a fine but largely overlooked game. Thanks.

Arghs. My game always pops up error messages when I want to choose one of 1st/2nd silesian war-scenarios and tells me that I have to "terminate" the program. I've uninstalled (since I've done some modding) and reinstalled but still. Now I wanted to search for the log-file (as the error message told me), but my log-directory is empty. :(

The error messages:

TListUnitDefs. Get ListUnitDefs Index out of range (Index/maxIndex): 1081 1047
TUnit.UnSerialize Exception caught: Violation d'accès à l'adresse 00737422 dans le module 'ROP.exe'. Lecture de l'adresse 0000002C
TListUnitDefs. Get ListUnitDefs Index out of range (Index/maxIndex): 1061 1047
TUnit.UnSerialize Exception caught: Violation d'accès à l'adresse 0074138F dans le module 'ROP.exe'. Lecture de l'adresse 00000064 DebugStep 130
(etc.)

PS: The 4 player campaign seems to start without problems. (But yes, the map-filter buttons are screwed up)

Try to delete your uni.cached file,if any, in ROP/GameData/Units.

I deleted the units.cached file but still get these errors. I uninstalled and installed everything again and still. :(
