Celtic Charriots: the mighty Insubrian Celts have readied their war charriots. Birth of Rome allows you to play with more of those original units.

Is Birth of Rome an expansion or a new game? - It isn't clear on the product page, as it never mentions having the original game...

It's not a DLC if that's what you mean. Birth of Rome does not require ownership of Alea Jacta Est as it is a stand alone product all by itself.

Yes we know - there is a hardware issue at the data center and they're fixing it. We'll need to get it back up for release obviously :(
