Expansion?

So far I'm loving pretty much everything about LH, nice tweaks all around, but that's pretty much all I feel this is. It feels like a polish patch for FE, not an expansion. There's a few new monsters and spells, but nothing expansion worthy IMO (yet). No new races, tech trees, tech tiers or really anything that expands the gameplay beyond what it was before. Everything is (or will be once the bugs are worked out) a lot smoother and more fun than FE, but this feels like it should have been like a 1.X patch, not something some people needed to pay for. And while I got it for free, it sort of feels like my last "gift" for dealing with WoM has been a token one. "Here's a really nice patch, we didn't feel like giving you an actual expansion."

I know it's beta, but are they really holding back the meat of this EP? I expect some of the really nasty bugs to get fixed, but I'm worried there wont be anything more. Right now I'm just playing FE with few balance changes, a better UI, and some shadows I'm probably going to turn off. It's what FE should have been, and finally puts the game in the "great" range for me, but a $40(20?) EP? Not really.

I have mixed feelings about this point.

I think it is more than a patch, that's for sure. As it stands right now, with the current content additions of Legendary Heroes and such, I don't necessarily believe it's an expansion just yet either.

I'm going to give it time before I make a judgment, but as it stands now, this feels more like an "enhanced edition".

It's the single best product they've ever put out, in my opinion, but it does need a little more meat before it can be considered a true expansion. I haves feeling it will get there, though.

I'd still recommend paying for it as it's the most fun I've had with a turn based fantasy 4X game....
