Is one likely to get patches or expansions first, for instance? “I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do.

Is one likely to get patches or expansions first, for instance? I don't think so. The two brands are pretty interchangable these days. It's just been a slow integration process, I think.

Is one likely to get patches or expansions first, for instance? I know that if you buy the game at Matrix, you can then also register it at Slitherine, which I've done with four or so games. I have no idea if the opposite is true. The patching is the same it seems.

Is one likely to get patches or expansions first, for instance? For the retail boxed Collector's Edition, shouldn't those in Europe purchase from Slitherine and those in the Western Hemisphere buy it from Matrix? Digital downloads should make no difference unless there are taxes, etc., to consider I would think. Patches should be identical and the availability should be the same on either side of the pond.

We use the same installer so patches release exactly the same time. Older products may have different installers but we're merging the processes together as we go to make it easier for users.

Nefaro Colonel Posts : 4640 Joined: 6 OCT 2003 Status : Offline	I was of the understanding that the Slitherine shop normally sells to EU customer, and uses the Euro by default. And likewise Matrix in dollars. Although there's obviously crossover compatibility, I recall being charged an exchange rate for buying from the Slitherine shop in the past, while that isn't the case with the Matrix shop for me since I live in the US. __________________________ Are you brave enough for 640kb?

There may be some rounding differences on currency conversions as the sites are not fully integrated but all taxes etc are applied in the same way. The default currency for our product pages depends on your locations. £ for UK, $ for US and Euro for Europe. So there may be small differences but nothing significant.

W.S. Hancock Centurion Posts : 369 Joined: 13 APR 2008 Status : Offline	*Originally Posted By Kriegspieler* Hey, guys, as long as the developers are paying attention to this thread, what's the word on when we might be able to have some new content such as new scenarios integrated into the campaign, options to play as the non-Germans, etc? That's the problem with making us all junkies. The addicts have to be fed! Yes indeed, I seem to recall some thread with speculation on the first expansion pack for PzCorps coming soon. Any information on that one? Pretty please?

Ubercat Commander Posts : 1184 Joined: 1 DEC 2008 Location: US, Near Allentown, PA Status : Offline	I hope it's N. Africa. I was all set to buy this game two nights ago and then read that D.A.K. and the 8th Army were left out. The campaign I was looking forward to suddenly just didn't seem like it would match up to PG after all. Anyway, I'm keeping an eye on this game and will likely buy it down the road. “I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do.

phredd1 Commander Posts : 1065 Joined: 10 SEP 2006 Status : Offline	Ubercat--Panzer Corps isn't Panzer General, but IMHO it does have Panzer General's spirit. They've changed the game significantly, it definitely is not a simple PG redo with newer graphics. I, for one, feel I've got my money's worth out of this game, just as it stands right now. (I just have the original content, haven't checked out any of the scenarios that modders are already creating.) Start saving those pennies, this one's worth it. One mistake, and you're sliding down the razor blade of defeat, and a dull, rusted, and poisoned blade at that.

Ubercat Commander Posts : 1184 Joined: 1 DEC 2008 Location: US, Near Allentown, PA Status : Offline	I know it's not just a remake. I was looking forward to a fully comprehensive campaign, though, as in PG. I'll just hold out till it gets fleshed out a little more. “I contend that we are both atheists.

You may want to consider purchasing sooner than later. Several Afrika Korps mods are in the works by the modding community. One will be released on Sept 18 and will include new terrain and unit graphics. And there is another that looks good that will likely release before then. Check out Slitherine's PzCorps forum for info.
