There's another expansion coming?!?

Didn't you guys say that Twilight would be the last expansion for GC2, and now we're meant to pony up for a THIRD expansion?  In August no less (come on, at least give us six months!)?

Then again, I don't see Stardock's name anywhere in the press release - are you guys even aware that apparently you're releasing "Galactic Civilisations II: Endless Universe" in August?

The battle for galactic supremacy continues in Endless Universe; the new stand-alone add-on for the acclaimed strategy game Galactic Civilizations II, to be published by Kalypso Media at the end of August 2008. A stand-alone version, it requires no additional purchase and also includes the two previously released add-ons: Dark Avatar and Twilight Of the Arnor.

I think it's some extra stuff being done by I-Mod for the German release of DA/TA, though Stefan would have to provide any details.

From this page http://www.mcvuk.com/press-releases/38261/Galactic-Civilizations-II-Endless-Universe I would think that Kalypso media (who is publishing Sins of a Solar Empire in Europe) is just selling a bundle of GC2 and the 2 expansion packs for the UK market. Unless I have overseen something, a stand alone expansion doesn't require the original game. So the only way that the 2 GC2 expansions works as standalone is only if the base game is also included.

BTW, only GC2:DL was available at retail in UK and it was in 2006.

Phew! I was worried I was going to be out another $50 or so to get another expansion!

tweakers are also talking about a expansionpack, simular to DA and ToA.
