Titans is absolutely free to everyone who backed the original Kickstarter, and people who already own Planetary Annihilation will be able to buy Titans at a substantial discount. You can't accuse it of being a "paid patch," either. Planetary Annihilation: Titans comes out today, and while the enormous super-units are what give the expansion its name, it's the plethora of small, thoughtful changes that make a bigger impact than any super-weapon.

The procedural map generation created battlefields that were as flat and featureless as a dining room table. When it came out, however, reviews were generally mixed.
