Is the deluxe edition worth it?

I've seen the game being played, but I have no idea what the scenario entails, and I'm not too interested in the soundtrack.

Digital Deluxe Edition

Get the game and also the Dragon’s Throne Stand-Alone Scenario and the two hour Official Soundtrack.

Dragon’s Throne Scenario
An extra large Stand-Alone Scenario. Legend tells of dragons who ruled the fabled Sea of Flames at the dawn of time. However nobody has seen a True Dragon in living memory. The isles are still loaded with treasure and have become popular with adventures, merchants, scoundrels and sightseers. Now eight rival lords have found a mysterious dragon’s egg, and each sees it as proof of their claim to the Dragon’s Throne. The sages warn they risk unleashing the wrath of the Dragons, but the Lords pay no heed as they prepare for war. You can play the Dragon’s Throne versus AI opponents or in multiplayer with up to 8 players.

If you had read my post, you would find that I was not stupid, and had indeed read what was in it. I was asking if the scenario alone made the deluxe edition worth it, as I typically don't care about soundtracks.

Honestly. It's not in my eyes. While it's likely a well crafted scenario, I can't say I know many members of the community who took interest in the games scenarios over the campaign or random maps.

The soundtrack is why one would likely buy it, and if you do not care for that, then there isn't much value there.

I don't know if there are any gameplay videos of the scenario, but the extra large map size (with an underground) makes for a very long game, even with 8 players. This is probably worth the 2.50 itself, but it really depends on whether you end up liking the map or not.

I would say to get it if you like 4X games, especially when it is a long game.

Dragon Throne is really fun for the challenge it can get very hairy depending on your play style, can also take 2 weeks to clearif you don't make allies. Makes it money very well spent for fun factor.

The sound track really does kick ass. Thats just my opinion.

just get the normal edition then

deluxe comes with extra soundtrack + a very large scenario map (it's just A map?) So yea normal will be good enough for most ppl.. unless u truly yearn for the soundtracks.

I'm not a big fan of game soundtracks in general, but the AoW3 soundtrack is pretty darn good. You can listen to the whole thing on YouTube though.
