I don't understand why Matrix/Slitherine don't use this system for every one of their games. It is simple, elegant, and works perfectly.

Status: offline 		The advertisement banner on Wargamer says that the game is coming out on Steam. The banner in the top right. I can't link to it because I am still a new forum member and new forum members can't post links, but check out the ad banner on Wargamer. Looks like this is an error.

Not true at all. The Steam crowd comes from all walks of life. There are many hardcore wargames on there, and they have many fans. Additionally, Hearts of Iron, Crusader Kings 2 and the Europa Universalis series are on Steam, and they will bring the best grognards to their knees, happily of course!

I gotta second that there. And as far as a lot (most?) of the Matrix fan base on Steam, it's just people like me who prefer to have the convenience of the Steam installs and patching, but have been buying games directly from Matrix for well over a decade. It's just a win-win for everyone as more Matrix games go on Steam--- starting with less stress on the Matrix download servers for those who are uncomfortable using Steam.

Just buy the games directly from Matrix, so you have the option of the non-Steam install (occasionally useful for betas), as well as more of the money goes to the developers directly.

That banner was definitely an error, thanks for the heads up. Will be fixed.

There are no current plans for a Steam release, however if we do one in the future, purchasing from our store now will still get you a free Steam key in the future.

Regards,

- Erik
