DLC isn't the expansion.  

Broadly speaking: DLC is content, Expansions involve new game code.  

The expansion coming out early next year will be free for those who bought WOM in October 2010 or earlier. It's going to focus on the way champions work and continue the story started in FE.  

Elemental:  Little Horse (on the Prairie)

Is the Shogun: Total War multiplayer realy dying? Assuming certain things, I will be using it quite heavily in 5 years time

(that being said, I think the TW:Shogun's idea for multiplayer ... especially 'drop-in' battles, is absolutely AWESOME!!!)

Elemental: Sieges and Global Spells.

at least hotseat would be great to have, would make a good starting step

Elemental Love and Hope    

Its confusing because what FE was called,changed.In addition after the change ,the free expansion is not mentioned as part of the deal in at least one interview,in which instead its said "goodies" will be given to anyone who pre-orderd FE.

By the way,were there any goodies handed out for pre-ordering FE ?

Q: What kind of goodies?

A: Additional quests, monsters, and items.

And of course,because people were employing different opinions which were conflicting.Not to mention the way some consider FE as being free.In short, the communication was "not optimal". this of course lead people to not "being on the same page".....

Speaking of which ....huge maps ?Included in expansion ?

If made as a simple map that you chose then the factions locations would be randomized, but I think modders would rapidly make a scenario version with the factions where they should and wildlands correctly placed.

Shouldn't be too hard... Just do not block city building and stuff, and have the goal be the same as normal gameplay.

The only problem would be having to play as the same faction everytime, unless they made a version for each or something.

I personally never bothered with nation/ continent maps unless it was pre-placed civs.

I mean, I'd "maybe" do an earth map, but that generally got old UNLESS civs started where they were supposed to.

Why else do you think I like Rhyes and Fall mod so much?

That's why I recognize your username!  TWC.  That's been bugging me.

As for LH, is must be Elemental: Levitating Hecate.  It's like the opposite of Fallen Enchantress... oh nevermind.

I have the same question.

Been following the forums since 2010, also one of those players who enjoyed MoM multiplayer via the save game hack. Adding MP in any form to FE will only increase it's appeal and allow more players to enjoy the game.
