Uldor posted:Anyway to add this on assuming we purchased the regular edition? I don't believe so. People asked about it repeatedly, but it hasn't seem to have made it onto Larian's priority list. About 6 months ago they decided to focus completely on Divinity: Original Sin. They don't have a second game in production at any stage. After Original Sin comes out, I'll try and remind them about Dragon Commander and some more features I'd like improved.

Dang, thanks for the info, what I get for drunkenly purchasing stuff on steam

So I skipped out on this when I heard about it because it sounded like something insanely ambitious and awesome (plus jetpack dragons) but no way in hell it could end up remotely good. Did it?

In my experience it's fun for a couple playthroughs but it's no Starcraft or Warcraft or anything. On the other hand it's no Spore either -- it's a fun game that pretty much does what it says on the package, RTS with political elements and awesome jetpack dragon.

Agreed. I haven't really replayed it since I first finished it, but I remember it being a lot of fun. Definitely worth the purchase.

I'll pile on to that opinion too. It's a really neat game that doesn't quite excel at any one part of what it tries to do, but it doesn't flop like it potentially could have either. I haven't replayed it since my first run either but I definitely feel like I got my money's worth, it's a good game. I think I got it at a discount for preordering or something, I don't think I'd pay $40 for it, but it's good if you can get it on sale.

I felt the game was greater than the sum of all its different parts, and well worth the price. The different elements worked together very well. The decisions influence your support with the various races and also grant you cards, the cards are useful for the campaign and RTS phases, and the support you have dictates your unit cap, so if you're really popular you can field a lot more units at once, and if they hate your guts, you'll have a very tough battle There's certainly enough content for replaying. Even if you don't want to replay the main campaign, you can do a Custom Campaign, which is almost the same thing, it has the political decisions, the generals, and the queens arcs, but on one map only, without the first and third acts. Oh, and you can also change a lot of the rules to make the RTS combat more to your liking. It's not a perfect game, and there's a few features I'd like to see added, but I think it's a good game.

Picked this up off GoG yesterday, it was on -75% sale (flash sale, would have alerted the thread but LOWTAX ). There's something about commanding my units, seeing things aren't going well, and just saying "I think I'll handle this one... personally "

The Dragon Commander Multiplayer group had a DC tournament. I didn't participate, but there were a few matches recorded, so I might as well share them: Game 1: [GCT-Sky] Q-wer-T (VS) FrostyCyclops (Round 1, Game 1) Game 2: Blitzkreug (VS) Zane Winters Game 3 [Commentary by Frosty]: Heron (VS) SkyDrake Game 4 [Commentary by Frosty + Sky]: Thermonuclear Wombat (VS) Spyro

I'll also add to the pile of 'fun as hell for a couple playthroughs but you'll never play it after'. It's totally the perfect steam/gog sale game in that it's a fun gem but maybe not something everyone wants to pay full price for. The story/political bits are really fun, it's just that they aren't deep and you eventually run out of them so you only have a okay RTS to play with. If they made another one that deepened the politics and the overworld map interactions it would be a day one purchase for me.
