I'll be honest, I don't think that there's a right answer on this one. Certainly many assets were reused, but on the other hand there were new assets, and the storyline and missions were all new. Of course, there was the whole "download the game" deal, which was unique also. I would certainly say that reusing assets does not automatically qualify something as an add-on; we reused many of the meshes from Wing III for WC IV, just adding new, more detailed textures, but I don't think anyone would claim that Wing IV was an add-on to Wing III. In the end, I think it's a no-win argument; I don't really think it's either. I prefer to think of it as a scaled-down followup to Prophecy. But that's just my $.02...
