Ultimate Edition or Endless Universe

Trying to decided which to buy.

It seems UE is not supported yet, but EU is.  You can play all the campaignes in the EU version correct, including the DL ones?  When you play the DL campaignes using the EU version updated to 2.0, does the AI know how to use all the changes made in 2.0?  What I want is to play all the campaignes, but I don't care what ruleset it uses as long as the AI can handle the newer rulesets in the older campaignes.

the AI use the same engine you use, I believe that answer your question. the AI won't load dread lords engine to play his campaign against you while you run Dark Avatar :D . Seriously though, globally the AI was designed to play as a player play, that is using all the features ...

Sounds like I should get EU version then.  I see no reason to get the UE version since all it would add is the old ruleset which I care little about.  Thanks.

Well, GoGamer still lists EU as sold out.  Any other good e-retailer or real store to buy EU at?  I live in the US by the way.  One other question about EU though.  Does it include the Dark Avatar cut scene movies also, or just the compaigns without the movies?

be wary of the EU version you get since EU was done for european countries at first, I guess there should be French, Deutch and the like around ...

I'm not surprised it's sold out since EU was basically replaced by Ultimate Edition once Kalypso got the rights for DL

 

And Dark Avatar is 100% included in EU

You can buy EU retail in Singapore, if you care to fly over.  Costs about S$39.90 I think, which is about US$26.  UE is S$49.90.

Thanks, but it is 16.95 pounds now though.  Wonder if the free shipping includes the US.

I just tired to create an account at www.play.com, but they don't have the US listed.  So I am still looking.
