Catan DLC right under our noses [Update 2]
Seems like new DLC for Catan has been discovered hanging out right out in the open on the official Catan Live site.
It appears that there will be a Generals Picture Pack 2 (featuring Caesar, Hannibal, Isabella, Joan of Arc, Lenin, & Tokugawa) for 100 MS Points and also a Mayfair Skin Pack which applies the visual style of the original Mayfair Games version of Catan to the board and pieces, also for 100 MS Points. No word on when save the typical "coming soon".
What's interesting is I have yet to see any of the Generals in this upcoming picture pack in the game (maybe I haven't been paying close enough attention?). Does that mean that there will be new AI profiles coming to Catan Live too? And could they be part of a free update? Guess we have to wait to find that out.

[Update]: According to Major Nelson, the content is now live. They weren't kidding when they said "coming soon". I am loving this "reveal, then quickly release" trend. [Thanks, Measure]
[Update 2]: Apparently the Mayfair Skin Pack is coming in at 150 MS Points and not the previously mentioned (and website featured) 100 MS Points.

For what it's worth, this content is now live according to Major Nelson.

I'm confused as hell.
CatanLive.com has it listed as 100MSP but XBLM has it set at 150MSP. Why the 50% mark up on a visual downgrade?!? That's almost 20% the cost of the game itself. I'm passing, despite my unhealthy love for Catan. Pack fudge MS.
