Hellenistic World Separately Sold

[Cls88]

Any hope that pdx and ir devs are going to release the flavor pack separately from the deluxe edition? I know they've changed some dlc in the past, and I think this one would be an easy, profitable sell and maybe even generate some good pr, given how reviled the deluxe edition is.

They already sell the "Deluxe Edition Upgrade Pack" but it also contains the artbook and wallpapers, which sets the price at about twice what a regular DLC costs.

Yeah I get that, but can we have just the Flavor Pack and not bundle it with the artbook and wallpapers and have it be a normally priced flavor pack? The Upgrade Pack isn't any more warmly received than the normal Deluxe Edition.

It looks like the deluxe edition and the deluxe upgrade have been removed from steam entirely at this point. Does anyone know if they added the Hellenistic World content to a different pack or is there is a different way to get them now?

Never mind, I saw the "Did we get a patch" thread and it looks like it was added to the base game.

I just bought the game today so if someone could give specific examples of what's in it I could check.

Thanks for the generous offer, but that is not necessary. I never bought the deluxe edition, but I see the "Hellenistic World" flavor pack listed in my Steam Library and the Paradox Launcher DLC manager. But, for your reference, it included the following (from old Steam page):

The empire of Alexander is torn into separate kingdoms as former generals and functionaries squabble over his mantle. In Egypt, the famous Ptolemy holds the body of the great conqueror and the riches of the Nile. Seleucus has consolidated his power in Persia while Antigonus has built a base in Anatolia. The cruel Lysimachos dominates Thrace, and Macedonia, the heart of the empire, has fallen to Cassander the usurper.

This pack adds new color to the Wars of the Diadochi, including new units models and game flavor.

• 4 New Army Models: Unique army designs for Macedonia, Phrygia, the Seleucids and Thrace.
• 4 New Ship Models: Unique warship designs for Egypt, Macedonia, Phrygia, and the Seleucids, including depictions of the famous Hellenistic superships.
• Special On Map Monuments: The Mausoleum of Alexander, the Acropolis of Rhodes, the Acropolis of Pergamon, the Palace at Ay Khanum, the Library of Alexandria, and the Argead Palace of Macedonia,
• Six Hellenistic Flavor Events: About the Legacy of Alexander, the veterans of Alexander's wars, the Spread of Hellenistic Culture, City Athletic Events, and Trade.
• Alexander’s Body Event Chain: Try to steal the remains of Alexander the Great and erect a monument to his memory.
• New Event Art: Dedicate new art for the included unique events.
• New music: Special music composed specifically for the Hellenistic players.

Nice! Before you had to pay for the deluxe edition or the deluxe edition upgrade to get the Hellenistic pack, but the price was very, very steep for what you got. It is great that they added it to the base game.
