Larian Studios Forums Dragon Commander Dragon Commander - General Imperial Edition and Other Thoughts...

So, I never actually got to play with the imperial edition add-ons, despite downloading and installing them multiple times. Of course I chose GoG as my distribution platform, so I had to download my IE stuff from Larian Vault, but I was never able to play with any of the stuff that I should have (i.e. gold dragon or whatever). But despite that, I had a really fun time playing dragon commander.

When I first started off, I was really surprised at the new battle mechanics that were implemented. Having played the beta, you could just about beat anything just by spamming grenadiers indefinitely. So when I started up the gold copy of DC I was immediately overwhelmed by the first few battles that I directly controlled. When it came to the political game... I always had 0% respect from the dwarves no matter what, and for the most part always had 100% from the Lizards/Reptiles/whatevertheyare. That's just due to my personal beliefs and such, and yes, I did let Mr. Dwarf become the elected leader, despite how much I despised him. Though at the time, I didn't know it was a scripted event, I thought it was in retaliation to my 0% dwarf repuation status x3. I haven't played in a while, but I plan on making another run through sooner or later. But I just had a really good time with it.

I also thought the dragon from the artworks was more sexy than any of the characters in the game x3 =P

The Imperial Edition download from the Vault was just a temporary measure while GOG and Larian fixed the problem with people getting the regular version. From the GOG DC release topic:


Do you have the 'Planet Earth' map at the bottom of the map list for a multiplayer or custom single player campaign? If so the Imperial Edition is installed. With a patched game there is checkbox in the gameplay options to 'Enable Golden Dragon Skin', which you can check/toggle to see if that will get it to show up during RTS. There is also a golden jetpack option, if you got the retail version of the Divinity Anthology or signed up for a promo Larian had a couple years ago.
The rest of the Imperial Edition content (soundtrack, etc) is available from the install folder.

Wait, this game was patched? I have it from GOG and I know of no checkbox for the goldskin. And my Planet Earth Map is completely broken - which is a shame because I was so excited to start playing it.

I knew I should have gotten this on Steam....

You can download the patch from GOG, which includes an auto-updater, so the next patch you should get right away (no ETA on that; presumably after Original Sin is released).

I can't seem to find where to download it from GOG, but will keep looking.

Under My Games, Collection, select Dragon Commander: under the game installer on the left side there will be a 'Universal update'.
