TI3 Expansions?

Just a quick question about Twilight Emporium 3. Being the game came out in 2005 and was expanded by shattered empires in 2006. I find it interesting that there hasn't been any expansions in the last couple years. Is something new coming out this year? Just seems odd for such a popular game.

I think the problem is...how do you expand it?

If you look at the history of the design of the previous editions of TI, you'll notice that the base game + expansion of 3rd edition actually contains about 4 or 5 expansions worth of stuff.

Originally it wasn't meant to have any expansions.

I don't really know what else they can add without bloating it. Some games suit expansions (notably those with scenarios/missions like descent or with card encounters like Arkham or runebound) and others don't. TI3 feels more like the latter.

Granted. Both good reasons given. It is a hefty game on it's own and shattered empires adds a lot more interesting ideas. Just as a 4x type game, I just thought it comes built in with the ability to expand. New races, new abilities, new areas, etc.

Not that I believe the game "needs" anything, it works on it own. I still think it would be interesting to try some new ideas. The first expansion came out pretty quick, so I'm just surprised nothing else was/is in the works.
