Interesting review

though I must say that I am rather intrigued by the "third expansion comes in a new, expandalone format, and adds just about everything except actual rebellion. Silly developers!"

what does that mean?

"Outside of the lack of a singleplayer campaign, about the only criticism that could be levelled at Rebellion is that it’s not much of a looker anymore."

Really??????

Im curious about this:

 Vasari Loyalists gain the power to summon NPC vagabonds

Does that mean we can also summon non controllable units as well? Like the insurgency?

Yeah, not sure where that came from.  The Vasari Loyalists Dark Summons are under the player's control.

Maybe a typo and they mean TEC-R? Technically you hire "NPC's" but they are under your control.
