I'm not sure why stardock is so adamant about forcing people to play games by themselves. It seems like every game that comes out has at least a token multiplayer feature(even when it is shallow). But they resolutely march on giving us the occaisional opportunity to add some tweaks to the single player experience. So if you don't mind playing a game by yourself, then this expansion may be worth while(it didn't add a ton of things, but again made each race a little more distinct)
There were some minor technology changes, but really nothing particularly huge or particularly game changing. The AI is still fairly challenging, but it is largely same old, same old. If you love the game and need more content, go ahead and pick this up, but don't expect anything new, and if you are like me, waiting hopefully to be able to play this game with friends, well this expansion is still going to leave you wanting.
