but the loading times really suck. its like 1 minute or more to load a fucking map.

Well, the same as the first then (when it comes to loading times). DLing now, I hope they added everything they promised the console kiddies' version to the PC version as well.

Just finished the campaigns and here's a short mini-review of it.
Graphics - 7/10, same as the old game, not great, but good enough and fits the feeling.
Sound 6/10 Sound is ok but can get repetitive, the voiceovers are cool
Load Times 3/10 HORRIBLE to say the least, im sitting on a very top-end machine and it takes AGES to load, and there are tons of loading, before games, before walking, before worldmap and so on.
Gameplay 7/10
The gameplay is good and i'll get more into it later, but I was vastly dissapointed to find it's only the "evil" campaign in this expansion, so it's only a few hours of gameplay in total, the fights and the strategies are good, the only thing I miss is that you cannot see changes, meaning if you add armor or better weapons to your troops, they don't reflect it, nor does your hero reflect his armor/weapons.
Another thing that dissapointed me was the almost utter lack of special creatures, such as the War Hydra for the Dark-Elves or anything special for the Orc's, you do get to mess around with trolls and Giants shortly, but it's weak and late in the game, and not really useful by the time you get them, due to old troop upgrades.
Also I noticed one thing that sucked, Cavalry in this game is not just good, it is UTTERLY dominant, and since they are only 2 fortress attacks (and no defences), it means that you basically have no real use for infantry or even archers, just get tons of cavalry and upgrade it and it's free win.
To sum it up, the expansion is ok, but it don't make me wanna buy it and it's weak that after such a long time making it, they didnt even add a new good campaign, only an evil, which is short at that.
It also lacks the finess from the old one, with the choice of Khorne or Nurgle, the transformation into a DemonPrince and so on.
Good game, worth a few hours, then you wont remember it unless you play it online.

I have the direct to drive version of mark of chaos patched to the latest 1.72 patch. When I install battlemarch and try to launch it after copying over the crack, I get an error message that says "the file contains invalid data." I have tried uninstalling mark of chaos and reinstalling it and installing battlemarch.
SOLUTION:
Install the direct to drive version but DO NOT PATCH IT WITH D2D PATCHES FOR THE GAME. Instead just install battle march right on top. Copy over crack and it works.

Well mark of chaos has a single player campaign where you play as the empire and you play as the high elves and a small bit of the dwarves in the campaign. Also in the chaos campaign, you play as chaos as well as the skaven. In the battlemarch campaign you play as the orcs and as the dark elves.
But if you just read some previews for the game and googled it, you would have found your answer without asking here.
