Can you get it without paying anything, if you already have the 'retail cd' of Galciv, or it is seperate like an expansion pack where everyone has to pay for it if they want it whether or not they already own Galciv?

This isn't like the first expansion, you have to pay for it one way or another.

One way or another means either as a separate purchase or as part of a Drengin.net subscription.

I don't know if this helps (from the Stardock-store FAQ)

Q: I don’t have a credit card. How can I purchase Stardock software?

A: We also accept checks or money orders in US funds (no Eurocheques, please, as they are not certified funds). Please print and use the order form at http://www.stardock.com/order.txt (also found in the directories of Stardock’s shareware products) and mail with payment to:

Stardock Systems, Inc.
17292 Farmington Rd.
Livonia, MI 48152
USA

I assume that the above address could also be used for sending Mt.Dew and chocolates to the goddesses :D

Just wondering, I don't have a credit card either and I live outside of America so can't send money or a check, is there anyway to buy the expansion in Australia or will I never be able to buy it???

is to be understood, but it could mean a check in USD.

In other words you can get your bank to issue a check in USD (from your account). They will most likely charge a fee for issueing the check.

You can go to your bank and ask them to write you a money order in US Funds, they can do it, here at work we get money orders from Australia. ;)

Indeed is back, it is a pitty that people don't know how to read, that these posts were double post. But of course it is better say some garbage than keep the mouth closed. >:(

The point he is making that it is unnecessary to say anything more than "Whoops, double post" when such an event occurs.

Not to mention the signature that's three times the length of the post. (All four of them)

Now what I'm wondering is, does the fact that Strategy First is publishing AP mean that Stardock finally got paid all that they were owed for the retail sales of GalCiv? It seems to me that they wouldn't deal with Strategy First again if that weren't the case. Or was this issue resolved a while ago and just not mentioned where I could see it?

I have not seen this point mentioned anywhere, so maybe they paid back what was owed. Or they realized what a good product they will loose if they didn't pay. ;)

Bloody marvellous! Thank you, Stardock, the options you give us is either one hazards putting one's credit card details over the Web or go to the extraodinary and expensive hassle, if you live in the UK, as I do, of buying expensively in dollars an expansion pack which one would reasonably have expected to be on sale in UK shops! This was the dilemma I faced with Space Empires IV which I eventually decided to avoid, despite how good I heard the game was!

I, as an English fan, have learned my lesson, as have I think many other UK fans, who bought this game in the shops over here on the understanding that Stardock would be committed to the game both sides of the Pond for a minimum of two years.

I am DISGUSTED! >:(
