Where do you purchase the expansions on disk?

from GalCiv2 Forums

I lucked out and bought Dread Lords right before Christmas for $7.50 at Target in their bargain bin. That was the best bargain I've ever had!! I've been playing non-stop since, with many sleepless nights. The wife is starting to get upset, lol. Despite the warning looks from her, I'd still like to add the DA and Arnor expansions but can't finnd them at Target, Gamestop, or Best Buy. I know I can download them from Impulse, but I prefer having my games on hard disks. It makes it a lot easier when you upgrade computers. Can Anyone tell me where to purchase these expansions on disk? Thanks!

You can order the digital download and have SD send you a disc for the shipping and handling cost.  To my knowledge there won't be a box, but at least you wouldn't have to redownload to reinstall.

Actually, I appear to be mistaken.  Neither of the bundle packs have a CD option as well, oddly enough.  Only the expansion packs themselves do-which is an extra $15 to buy them separately.  Have a look here.

Might want to send sales@stardock.com an email about it and see if they can fix it up for you.

As a note, DA is/was only in retail channels as Gold Edition (packaged with DL), and TA was not and will not be.  Technically you can pick it up as EU or UE (Endless Universe or Ultimate Edition), but the latter isn't registerable on Impulse as of yet and therefore isn't updateable (yet), nor can you play MV games with it.  EU is, though, and EU is DA + TA (+ DL campaign), so that'd be what you'd be looking for if you went that route.

Alternatively, you can just do the digital download and archive the games via Impulse and burn the archives to disc, if that would work for you.
