Oh come on,how much space can a language take?Its pure text.

One more thing:Why do the languages take the whole CD in HV?How many different languages are on that CD anyway?

You'd need to write to Ubi about the Heroes IV DVD, but for example maybe the whole game is in French with French speech etc.

Either that or it is just a quick text change and the installation files slapped on a DVD.

European release ONLY.

Americans get the aptly-named "Limited Edition" that comes with nothing of value.
Yeah, will I live in the USA! and you know what they can do with their crappy Limited Edition! Why are they not selling the same packages worldwide? Do they think we Americans will settle for their cheap substitute of what the European package contains. You know UbiSoft … go stick your head where the sun don't shine!
More correctly, it is an amazon.UK release only- and they do not ship software outside of Europe.
So this is now the SECOND product released with H4 complete that I cannot get. :cry:

I hope that in a few weeks or so, the exclusive will be dropped, and there will be a world-wide release of the complete package (I'll take H4 complete, and give the rest to my sister, who only has H3:RoE)

I am looking at trying to acquire a couple copies, possibly for a contest or two at the Oracle League... so that if they do not release it worldwide people still have a chance to get the package, for free even.

You sure about that? I went there and started an order. They denied me shipping it to the US, so I entered a friends address in Norway. It allowed it, so I stopped it just before actual purchase.

Hopefully it is, because it'd be really nice to have everything together and on one disc...
