An improved version of RUS is being worked on. Not sure if existing players can upgrade for free. Sound like what they did to WITP with WITP:AE

That's very interesting. I have the game, but like a bunch of other games I bought, haven't devoted much time to it. But a gold version is definitely something I would be interested in like I bought the Rise of Prussia Gold upgrade.
I swear I read somewhere before that a Gold version was being worked on. Nonetheless, good to see that it's confirmed.

Not sure if it was that specific thread, but I do seem to recall seeing something about it in the forums over there now that you mention it, yes. Thanks for memory-jog. :)

Thanks Steve
It is possible that there may not be an upgrade made available. They did it with Rise of Prussia with the Gold upgrade but maybe not this time. :'(

Asid -- according to VPaulus on the Matrix forums (http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/fb.asp?m=3877209), there will be an upgrade path/price for existing RUS owners. Just hopes the upgrade works no matter where you got RUS. I'm thinking I got mine from Gamersgate....
..and its also up/available on Matrixgames.
Hi Steve
From what I have read it seems the Gold edition is stand-alone. A discount will be given to existing owners to enable them to purchase the Gold edition at a lower price.
Let's hope the discount applies to all purchases of RUS
regards
Hmm...I figured there would be like a $10 upgrade option, but I don't see it listed on the store front.
I suspect the information that you see listed will change a bit over the next few hours. When I looked a few hours ago they weren't listing a price at all on Matrix, and Steam won't unlock for a few more hours.
Now all I have to do is figure out whether my copy of RUS is in storage or not. Worse comes to worst it's still installed on my old computer.
Yes, I'm waiting for the upgrade package too as I'll certainly buy it when it's released. I'm hoping the upgrade package does work with all installs of the game as Asid mentioned because I bought it from Impulse.
Why does Ageod/Slitherine/Matrix have to wait to release an upgrade price????????????
Sigh :crazy2:
Let us give thanks unto Steam for leading Matrix into the light of updating and modernizing their product line. 8) O0

Hi Jason
I believe in this instance it was a mod team with no Steam links. Mostly fans :)
Regards
Asid posted that a discount will be given to all current game owners to buy the full game and it appears it won't be an upgrade after all from what I just read on the Ageod forum. I still have my receipt from Impulse so I hope that will be enough to get the gold version.
Hi WallysWorld
From what I know the Gold version is a stand-alone total install. The "upgrade-package" is a discount for existing owners. Hopefully it is for ALL owners regardless of where they purchased the original.
I do not understand why they did not think about this earlier. If they did then why not make a statement about it?
Regards
That would be better, Asid. Get a discount on the purchase of the full RUS Gold install instead of purchasing an upgrade like Rise of Prussia had.
QuoteYou can retrieve a $20 discount if you have a previous version of the game.
When placing the order for the Gold edition, just insert your original game serial number and click on Recalculate button. This should give you a $20 discount.

I tried my GG activation code on the Matrix website and it didn't work. I think the $20 discount is only if you bought it from Matrix/Slitherine originally.

Unfortunately....yup No deal for us who bought at Gamersgate :(

I'm sorry but unfortunately the discount is only for those who purchased directly for our stores at Matrix, Slitherine or AGEOD store.

Hi tgb
I just asked this on their live twitch feed.
Answer was that they didn't think so. The discount code is the serial so you should try anyway. Seems the discount is for Slith/Matrix/Ageod purchase

From what I recall when I chewed this over thoroughly with Matrix and Gamersgate techs a few months ago, while trying to get Pride of Nations registered, the problem is that other distributors used code generators that are too different or something.
So, Russia Under Siege won't be available on Steam? :-\
My Impulse activation code didn't work either so I might do a pass on this gold version as well. Disappointing though.

Same. I have a serial from before AGEOD joined Matrix and their new serial code system.
Probably would've purchased the upgrade but not gonna re-purchase the whole thing.
Well if you contact ageod for a purchase through their store I'm sure they can work with you if you have the order number.

Since the acquisition, Ageod uses the Matrix/Slitherine store. I tried my Ageod activation code just in case, and no dice. No way am I buying this a second time.
Interesting. My AGEOD worked fine in the store. Purchased from AGEOD in June 2012, which I believe was before the merger.
That may be the difference. I bought mine at GamersGate, and it seems people who bought there or from Impulse are SOL.
For sale now at Steam. $25.
Thanks for the heads up. Got my Steam key from the Slitherine site and installed on Steam with no issues.
Iain McNeil has posted on the Matrix forum that anyone who bought RUS from Gamersgate and Impulse are out of luck with getting a discount for the Gold version: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3891221 (http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3891221)
"Anyone who has a copy of Revolution Under Siege from Slitherine/Ageod or Matrix is able to upgrade to the Gold version for just $4.99 ($14.99 if you want the boxed edition). Unfortunately it is not possible to offer this discount to people who bought else where as we do not have the serials to validate. We only have access to the serials that we generated. We understand some people will be upset about this but we simply don't have access to the information supplied by paradox at the time so no way to set this up. "
So I'll definitely will be passing on this version for now as it's hard for myself to justify paying full price for basically an upgrade to the original.
Nice.
I dig the "Interwar," period. Only wish they'd drop the price on Espana 1936 some.
10% Off for the Fourth of July holiday weekend all Matrix games. This weekend only.
I just got my copy, and deleted the old version.
First impressions playing the GC as the Reds - just a few turns in
* The OB has been dramatically overhauled - lots more leaders and units at the start. Some of the new leader bio's are still in French, so there is more localisation work to be done. Some of the leaders have had their stats changed - e.g. Kamenov is no longer a trainer.
* You have more control over decisions in events - e.g. You can go for a Bolshevik dictatorship, or work with the Socialist Revolutionaries - each choice affects the number of map decisions, need to invade other countries etc.
* Graphics are revamped a bit, including some new leader pics. I'm not sure this is entirely great - I preferred some of the older pics - like the one for Trotsky, and Tukachevsky. This is just personal choice - I'm sure 'll get used to it.
* More depots are in place linking up the main Soviet bases. No need to connect your supply lines by massively building supply units to convert to depots.
* A some leaders are redeployed - e.g. Vatzetis now starts in Kazan, not Moscow.
* Some descriptions of events could do with proof reading into English, as the odd word like "milices", or "promize" doesn't look right in an otherwise English sentence.
* Combat seems to be much like the old game - I didn't see any of the battle options that came out with To End All Wars. Maybe I haven't fought a big enough battle yet? To be honest, I hope this has been brought up to the TEAW standard.
Overall, I think the game is an improvement, although it has some rough edges - largely localisation. I'll have a better idea after I've played it some more.
Is the scenario where a Victorious Germany marches east to fight the evil communists in Ukraine ?

If you're asking what I think you're asking, the answer is that yes, there is a
Drang nach Osten scenario.
If someone doesn't already own RUS Gold, it's a must buy.
If they already own RUS, the answer is a bit more complicated: I stopped playing RUS when they started working on RUS Gold, so for me it was a must buy. If someone doesn't care about historicity, their answer might be different.
The current imperfect state of localization is not all that apparent and adds a certain White Russian charm to the game when you do notice eventually notice it. Back in the days when Balanchine was still alive and kicking I used to tag along with my older sister to some of her ballet classes. There was always a samovar in the corner and the conversations were in French. Some of the emigres seemed more comfortable in French than they were in Russian. So in a manner of speaking the odd French biography or bit of Gallic syntax probably makes the game feel more authentic (unless you're playing the Reds).
And I'm sure the game is being tinkered with since an Ageod game is a bit like a fine wine that improves with age.
That's what I was asking. Thanks!
