I fixed the connection problems in the current version, keep cool ;) Please remember this is a beta, it's the first time we test on a wider range of platforms. We are pleased for your bugreports ;).
Technically it is no problem to integrate the normal game into the desktop application as well. If Matt says it is possible to do so in the webapp, why not?
Made an entry to the devblog, will try to do this every 2nd or 3rd day to keep you up 2 date. There is also space for discussions and suggestions on the forums ;) http://www.i-mod-productions.com/devblog/?p=18
Just want to say, that this is not a fake or something ;) It is authorized by Stardock, but will have its own architecture, including Desktop application and serverside stuff. I'll try to keep you up to date through the I-Mod devblog from tomorrow on. Hopefully I can write an entry every 2nd or 3rd day. You'll find a first screenshot of the desktop application here .
