Graham was kind enough to include us in the list of beta recipients for the upcoming RON expansion: Throne & Patriots. The cool thing is it's a media preview, so as Graham said:

This beta is not covered by a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) so you can talk about it in forums, on your websites, and take screenshots. Remember though, that this is beta software, so nothing is set in stone. We'd ask that you don't give out specific stats, such as unit attack strength or nation powers, as they have likely already changed.

So there you have it. I'll leave all the PR stuff to the big media outlets and instead focus on balancing and strategy issues.

More later as I get to play it.
