We're still play-testing as we speak but the testing is a bit slow right now since we're trying to test the PBEM functions in the game. Still trying for this year although we're running out of time!

Thank you

Marshall, could we not get the game and have a PBEM patch? Think of the Christmas revenues?

I remember a song like "last christmas I gave...", or something similar.

I also remember writing EIA-computer version on my wishing list. What did I get?
Long empty evenings with a beer... and EUII.

Marshall, finish the game in your time. We have waited this long and can wait a few months more. Just make yourself proud of this game.

it writes you my spectre. I've died from waiting (starvation, immobility?). If you want to send me a mail, appeal to the spiritism

The heaven is not so bad. And they has a game very similar: on line, fights, treachery... But we should not speak of international politics

I wait for you here... in a lot of time

I am unemployed right now so I have nothing better to do :)

I would love to tell my EiA boardgame pals that I am testing the CEiA, they will want to kill me for sure.

Well, I guess you have plently of people to pick, but you can count with one more.

I just hope this game is done right, but since even in our boardgames we allways finish discussing some rule I think we will need some patches, but as somebody said, thanks to internet we can play and patch the game whenever the patch is done!

Of course, I hope there are small things to patch.

BTW Marshall, tell us how are going the games!

Thanks and keep up the good work!

I'm looking farward to your post. When I have seen the specifics I'll know if I am able to playtest for you.

Yes, with a game having complex rules, it is to be expected that they will have to address some rules through patches. It would be fantastic to have the game by Christmas - in my case not because of the revenues, but because that is when I would have more time to play.

Of course I could make time to help with testing haha.

The "may be able to get it done by the end of the year" and "asking for playtesters" are two statements that do not go together. I think we are looking at Summer - Christmas next year.
That said, I hope this doesn't affect my chance to be a playtester.

Status: offline 		I am just curious how a company can pour out the money that it takes to create this game for this many years and have nothing coming in. I think Matrix needs to dump some manpower in to this project to help old Marshall Elis out and finish it. I have seen them finish other projects in much much shorter time. I am sure that Marshall being a company man is not going to talk bad a about Matrix but it is obvious to me that he needs more support. I think it would be a major financial blunder to miss the Christmas sales.

well thats my 2 cents
