    I specifically didn't do that because those are ONLY available via the Armory which everyone has equal access to.

    So do the Winter and Autumn Sale Commanders pretty much go out to all Pre-Orders/KS/SEA purchases or is it specifically a date-based cutoff?

    Also was it exclusive to Steam Sale or across all providers?

    It is a date based cut off for any non-Kickstarter orders. All backers get it, but early access purchases who bought prior to X date will get it. Some people will probably still get it because our scripts are weird on occasion, but your assumption is correct.

    I was moreso thinking to highlight that a) There are other commanders available, and b) The exclusive ones can't be purchased separately.

    Well the fact that they're absent from the Armory would indicate that no?

    I've also Updated my Spreadsheet with the Autumn and Winter Sale Bits.

    I bought the 60 dollar on 3/17/2013 I upgraded to the 90 on 3/20 and then upgraded again to the cosmic on 9/13, what does that mean? And assuming that I get the cosmic row in mikes sheet will there every be a way to get the armalisk, Gamma, and calyx?

    Two of them had really similar names which I believe was cosmic imited-edition and cosmic digital edition. The difference was the former is physical and the latter is digital only.

    Edit: founded it - https://web.archive.org/web/20140331152738/https://store.uberent.com/Store/PreOrder?titleId=4

    @garat and @uber
    What about this commander? Is it TBD Commander on the spreadsheet?

    *In this context probably means pre-orders and time limited. Due to the circumstances around it.

    Edit: also it's probably good idea to tell them this is a time-exclusive for all relevant commanders. ;)

    So you should be getting everything for Cosmic including the Autumn and Winter Sale Commanders as you're Initial Purchase was from prior to the cutoff for both.

    The Armalisk was specifically mentioned to be a "retailer-specific Commander for the immediate future (read: it's a timed-exclusive)" as per the First post in this thread and given that it was a Custom Commander initially I'd assume it will eventually end up in the Armory like the other Custom Commander ones. Gamma and Calyx haven't have anything specifically said about them as far as I know.

    I was talking about the original Editions, Combat and Warfare.

    Ajax is for the Autumn Sale as per Garat's Spreadsheet. You can see it on RobotMob.

    The 2 TBD Comms are for the Winter Sale and the "Replacement" for the Delta after the Invictus Debacle. Thats why I placed the second TBD Comm right beside the Delta.

    Ah, But as a 90 dollar kickstarter, Shouldnt people already have the Ajax?

    as for the 'TBD', Id assume that means 'To Be Decided'?

    Just because we know about something doesn't mean it will simultaneously be available in-game.

    Yes, that's what TBD stands for.

    Aah I see. Considering there was for them at one point in time. Little bit difficult to keep track of all in my head.:oops:
    As KNight stated there was an uproar over the Victus/Delta. You can got a since of in this thread: Imperial Victus/Imperial Delta difference ? Which is just one example.

    Edit: In hindsight it's kind of funny because the issues with who got the Delta.

    I wish people like myself and others who paid 70 got a custom commander from steam. Even people who bought the game of the stores get a commander. I feel a little left out haha.

    Well as Quitch said and as shown in my Unofficial Spreadsheet, Steam Early Access Purchase do get the Theta and you might also be eligible for the Winter and Autumn Sale commanders depending on when your purchase was made.

    It's also worth noting that while a single commander might not seem like much, if you think about it if it weren't for the mix up that resulted in the Cosmic Edition also getting the Alpha and Progenitor Cosmic would only have provided a single commander(Delta) as well. Also while you might not get as many extra commanders you will still have access to at least 8-10 commanders based on all(17) commanders we know of so far and the ratio of commanders available to all players and exclusives will only get better over time.
