• 4 Co-op Survival Missions -- Play shoulder to shoulder with your comrades-in-arms to defend your headquarters from enemy attacks of increasing intensity. To get extra income and new reinforcement types, capture control points that appear randomly throughout the map but only stay for a short time.

• Realistic Fog of War – Use new tactics and acquirements to become the praiseworthy commander.

Looks great, & I'm now re-installing the game in preparation for this (after saying I was taking a break from it ). Nice to see the game getting some support but is there any plans to provide any additional single player campaigns as DLC or expansion pack?

[warleader1984]

I'm glad you are coming back, buddy!

Nice to be back, I have missed the game so it is back on my rig.

I see your still in the tournament, if you make the final, I shall request my place back......

HI,

Nice to see you back here.

It would be nice if they worked on acually fixing the original release first. We still cant play with all the eye candy on without the darn out of memory error. Have they given up on fixing this?
I have basically shelved this game since I bought it for a couple of months waiting for the memory leak to be fixed. Usually when expansions or DLC starts being announced they consider themselves done with the original release. I'm bummed at the $40 paperweight i now have on my shelf.

I've just seen on Steam that OoW: Challenge is only available for 64-bit systems. Is this true? How will that affect me (I'm on a 32-bit system)....?

No I haven't......
