Okay...I seem to be extra special dumb with this game...what tech is it to get the caravan????
Wow...I sure am glad I wasn't the only one who couldn't figure out the farm thing. (Guess I shoulda played the beta more...)
Same issue for me on Beta 3C. Starting it from the Impulse launcher fails, but going to the .exe file works.
[quote who="davyandjane" reply="1" id="2589137"]All you do is sign in,top right hand corner and you can continue to download.[/quote] Heh...wow. That was actually really helpful, and I missed it on my first skim of the thread. I saw everyone posting about "buy a Stardock product," and all I could think was, "Um...I've got about 40 of them..." New computer, and I hadn't ever logged into the site from it yet. I do have to say that it took me a wh

[e digicons]O:)[/e] I gotta admitt, I haven't put nearly enough time into this Beta so far (Too many good games have been out, not enough time.) When I have played, I haven't been able to complete a game yet because of the CTD, lockups and save is
[quote who="Zubaz" reply="20" id="2382155"]Everyone be cool. We'll get it sorted in the morning (Stardock time) [/quote] When you guys say, "morning," you mean it. I had a response before 9. Nicely done. Thanks.
I'm having the same issue...I also highly doubt someone picked "weidbrewer." (Which is why I sent an email to support.) I'm wondering if it counts the account I created on GalCiv2.com as the first and the stardock.com/Impulse one as a second. I can't remember the specifics, but I think that I may have had to set up a separate account for Impulse. I don't remember at this point.
[quote who="Sammual" reply="27" id="2379648"]I loved the intro, my wife didn't get it at all and that just made it even more amusing. Sammual[/quote] My wife did get it, which surprised the living heck out of me.
I was just coming in here to post more-or-less the same thing. I initiated auto-turn from the main menu, and then selected auto-explore right from the get go...with only one character built, zoom, it played itself.
The only thing missing from that slice of fried gold was a warning about being eaten by a grue.
Admittedly, this has been a long week and I might be missing something obvious - where's the DL option for this in Impulse? My serial is registered and listed in my records, but I can't seem to find an install option for it. {EDIT} Never mind...I didn't have have "Show Pre-Release" checked. Like I said, long week.
[quote]One year of updates is more than most games get these days. If there are players I'd expect more updates.[/quote] Wasn't complaining, just hadn't heard anything official to that effect before then. (The "only" was more in regards to the fact that I'd never heard an end date from Stardock. Y'all spoil us.)
[quote]2. Depends on sales. Liekly there would be micro-expansions a la Sins. They already have 2 more Demigods that they plan to give out free in a short time and 1 year of free updates.w[/quote] Only one year of updates? Demigod is on a subscription basis? Huh. I had not heard that.
I think I've pre-ordered every official Stardock release in recent memory...and I'm still caught off-guard every time we get to release and there's a "Collector's Edition" available. I'll learn one of these days. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] So yeah...do those of us who pre-ordered as early as we could get the extra stuff?
[quote]but I wonder if Demigod uses multiple cores (SupCom didn't)[/quote] Yeah...that was one thing I was going to mention. I've enjoyed every Gas Powered Games release I've played, but sound always seems to be an issue. This and the SupCom games are the only ones I've run on my machine that have sound issues. For me, I get sounds that are all out of whack in the opening video (can't hear the narrator for example) and I get all kinds of crackling an

[quote]Argh. Evil teaser is evil.[/quote] [quote]I wanna be a level 10 knight! Minus the running away part.[/quote] I was making a very specific mental point to pretend that the picture in question did not exist. I will acknowledge it sometime closer to pre-order time.
[quote]This does not look like a humorous jest, thus i cannot treat it as one. Looks more like you are trolling and put that last sentence there so you wouldn't get into trouble.[/quote] Exactly what I was thinking.
[quote]We're going to be announcing this later today but there has been progress on The gamer's bill of rights.[/quote] Read through that - some very, very informative stuff in there. I have to say, that your self-described "transperancy" is one of the things that I have liked most about Stardock. I appreciate a no BS approach to business. One point that i'd like to second: Improved documentation. I'm a documentation nut, what can I say.</p
Well, unrelated to anything else, let me just voice the opinion that i am very glad that EU is a European release of expansions that I have. For a moment there, I thought SD went and released a whole expansion pack and no one told me. Phweew!
*Rushes in panting, out of breath* As per usual, I am late to the party. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Everytime SD does a Beta release, there is at least one thread like this. I think that some of us ("Us" being both the customer base and the SD staff) take for granted that we know how this works after a few times through the dance. For any one that's been around a little while, we plunk down our cash ahead of time, not to res
[quote]better still, have a race; time how long it takes to scroll across a huge map, and compare that to the time it takes to zoom there.[/quote] Only if that race is followed by a contest of being zoomed in on a dogfight and needing to move the screen a half an inch while keeping track of all the bad guys in the melee.
[quote]Check out the CivFanatics forum... lots of people talking about CivIV: Colonization there.[/quote] Yep...and a lot of them are saying exactly what I discovered after playing the part of the weekend - It's not that great.
