Something is going on on SteamDB?

With the long-awaited update that was said to be delayed due to an issue with Valve, we now have a good idea as to why that issue existed as they have created a free to play trial mode for Steam.

The mystery entry added in June is now revealed as the DB entry for the Full Game unlock on Steam, the other 10 mystery entries that were added in May were last updated on June 8th. https://steamdb.info/app/2477660/history/

For those hungry for DLC, unfortunately this patch had no On the Horizon, no Hero Cosmetic Volume 2 reveal, and no answer to the Polish and Denmark revolution mystery that showed up in the PUP, only more questions. I found some breadcrumbs that remain after searching for Danish and Polish in some of the files. Both appear to have been worked on as revolutions, the Danes would have a Royal Grenadier unit that has Promotions and possibly an Espingol artillery unit, while the Poles have a Scytheman, a Polish Lancer, and a Grand Hetman.

If you want to see the Polish Lancer model you can ship the Dutch’s unique Church card and send in the Red Lancers, or you can use the French to revolt to Revolutionary France and ship the Napoleonic Era to transform your Native Scouts to the new Eclaireur; both units are skin variants of the base Polish Lancer. Interestingly, the Polish Lancer rider’s animation file was updated between the PUP and release so that the French variant is the “none” option while the default version requires an “Unavailable” tech, presumably a placeholder for a Polish revolution that is still in development as that’s the first time I’ve seen them do that.
