It's a simple game to play but one that has a lot going on under the hood that you can get into if you choose.

I've been playing the heck out of this game as being able to play both the revolutionary war and the french and indian war is quite a treat. I find myself suffering from the 'just one more turn' syndrome which is always a plus in my book. I got the digital download and it cost about $34 in which I've gotten my money's worth several times over in how much I've played this thing.

Here's a link to the site to check it out if you haven't already and a link to their forums.

You can also download the manual to check it out...

"Pick" them up? It seems that they already have a publisher. What they really need is a North American distributor for the boxed version -- that is supposed to come with a printed manual.

This game looks really good, some questions on whoever has it. How do turns take place? I am having trouble understanding if you give turns then watch the game play out or if it is RTS? Anyone know the answer to this? Also, anyone know if this game is in USA yet? Or did everyone get the digital download?

Thanks people,
jason

What was the total cost for a physical shipment (in Yankee dollars)?

Give turns and then watch it play out.

Game is We-go if you are familiar with that style.

You can only order from them at their website, either digital download or boxed version. I believe, that if you order the boxed version, they will also give you a serial code so you can download it as well. There really is no need though in my opinion as the manual isn't larger or more comprehensive than what you get on pdf, but the option does exist. Just contact them before you order about the serial code as they have to get it to you through email or something like that.

When I go to the download of the demo it shows it would take 16 hrs(at some ridicolous low rate of 2kb second, and sure enough, when I download it's slower than dirt).

If anyone could let me know, mabey it's my connection to that area?

Their server is being hammered by the Demo downloads so they are going to move it as soon as they can.

Couldn't agree more with the last sentence.

They put out a quality product with a beautiful map and fun gameplay. It'd be nice to see matrix try to pick these guys up before another publishing company does.

Is the "map-patch" strictly cosmetic?

Basically...although the 1.04 "patch" made some changes, ie: bridge movement, and the "map-patch" shows where they are so...you don't have to have it.
