I can see it's up on Gamersgate and the Taleworlds store, but will it give a key to use on steam?

No. If you have M&B: Warband on Steam you need to get Napoleonic Wars on Steam I'm afraid.

Here's a comment of one of the beta testers:

If you DONT have Warband on Steam, dont buy the DLC from Steam. I knew a guy that bought it from Gamersgate and it wont work on his Steam version.

Probably it's safer to wait for steam to list it in its store. It can't take that long anyway, within a few hours it should be there...

I got my steamkey an hour ago, had to wait for a bit but I did manage to play some.
Servers seem to be struggling a bit at the moment under the sheer weight of people trying to join them, and as a result there's a bit of rubberbanding on some of them. Hopefully admins have found a result by tomorrow.

still needs some polishing, but it's a great mod! definitely worth the 10€. very nice details regarding uniforms and stuff. artillery is well done (bouncing cannonballs, rockets etc.).
melee fighting seems better balanced compared to mount&musket.
playing songs synched is very nice.
graphics aren't high end, but textures are decent and it's very rewarding to shoot cavalry off their horses. i even saw some people shooting volleys and using tactics on 150+ player pub.
pings are great, even on full servers. it definitely lives up to my expectations, after a few patches it will be :IS2:

Spoiler!

i especially like the irregular troops, spawning with gardening tools and other primitive weaponry: lol birch branch ftw
Spoiler!

argh! i'm dead!
Spoiler!

So M&B pack (NW included) is cheaper than NW DLC? Strage.
weekend deal excludes the nw dlc, everything else is 75%off. 15€ for warband+nw is still a good bargain.

Played a good 4 hours earlier and enjoyed it immensely. Basically just a nice polished version of MM but worth every cent.

Favorite things so far are the cannister shot for the cannon (scary!) and riding as calvarly with muskatoons! Lots of fun watching bowling balls from cannons skip across the ground on the larger maps.

Oh did I mention LARGE beautiful maps?....They are a sight to behold!

I also like how much easier it is now to move from a kneeling position. Just move and you are out of the pose, whereas in MM you'd have to press the kneel button again and wait for the transition to finish.

a friend of mine was invited to participate in a line battle event yesterday, he asked if he could bring me along. epic! the experience can't be compared to public play. we were assigned to a small skirmish squad and had a few very satisfying rounds.
bg2 linebattles were epic, but nw brings them to a whole new level with cavalry and artillery.
