What's the cheapest digital version? GMG at £28.99? Do any GMG vouchers work with it?

That's the cheapest digital. Amazons order seems to have free first class delivery though, so you should have on day of release.

I'm not in UK so went for GMG, cheers. With the amount of hours I've plowed into Total War in the past it will no doubt be worth it!

Just placed an order with Amazon.

Can confirm that first class is a free option, which i did not expect!

That I cannot wait for, I always found the selucids one of the most fun and tough positions.

Lunatic Dreyfus · 24 Aug 2013 at 23:59

Ah, so the Selucids will finally become a proper playable faction, at some point...

The game might be worth buying now.

Still not going Day 1 though.

I really cannot wait to play this. I do love a good strategy game and this looks brilliant.

Think I will pick this up on Steam. Shame it comes out the day I go back to work

Hopefully it runs well on my system, otherwise it might be time for an upgrade!

Already decided I'll be upgrading for this, but not until I've heard what AMD have to say about their 9000 series. Hopefully it will run at an acceptable frame rate on my current system. It was a mid-range system when I bought it 6 years ago, but I live in hope.

It's amazing how well my current system still runs things too. I7 920 so it must be 4-5 years old now, but I simply can't justify upgrading at the moment!

Now that I have bought this I am getting really impatient

Hopefully the preload is soon because my new internet connection is super slow

I'm so eager to play this that it's sparked a new interest in Shogun 2 again and i ended up reinstalling it yesturday to help me get my Total War fix for the time being

World War 3 might kick off this weekend so chances are you might have to holiday at home... what a shame

It's coming that's for sure.

'Minor' conflicts proceeded both WW1 AND WW2

Syria v (US and UK)? Should last a couple of weeks.

throw Russia into the mix as well.

I know, hence the wink at the end. The World is a lot different now compared to the cold-war era. I would imagine this Syria business will be resolved with words rather than full-blown war; no doubt some innocent 'small' guys will get wiped out in the process though.

Anyway who cares, roll on this game - I need an excuse to buy a graphics card.
