Hi guys

I've been rather busy and missed the release of the game, I did however play something like 60 hours during the pre-purchase beta.

I had gotten used to looking forward to patches and updates throughout the beta, so was happy to see a fairly substantial one waiting for me in steam on my return. 

I fired the game up, went to start a new game and... All of the good maps were missing!?

Off to google I went, where I discovered that there was a now a map pack available for purchase containing the only maps I had come to enjoy during my extended play-time with the beta.

I could only come to one conclusion but the picture I've formed sits rather uncomfortably with me, as it would seriously impact my willingness to ever pre-purchase from stardock in future.

The following question frames the only conclusion I have been able to come to, and I'd really like it if someone was able to explain to me that I had gotten the wrong idea.

Have Stardock elected to "reward" pre-purchasers like myself by removing the (arguably better) maps we'd grown accustomed to from the released game and then added insult to injury by charging us a separate and additional DLC cost if we wish to get access to them again!? 

Tell me it ain't so!

With thanks from a long time stardock customer.
