Yeah, great. No DRM free version. [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e]
I hope not. [e digicons]>_>[/e] Edit: looks like it is. I'd delete this post but can't figure out how.
Thanks for the replies [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
When I checked distributors like Gamersgate, Gamestop(sigh) and gamefly thier store-pages all mentioned that I would need to use Steam to download and play this game. Stardock's storepage only says that I must have an internet connection. If I buy it from stardock do I still need to install via Steam? Personally I'd rather NOT have to deal with steam in any capacity to play this game, and I see no benefit to using steamworks drm either.
[quote who="DirtySanchezz" reply="96" id="3087711"]Some people don't like Impulse. Some people don't like Steam. I guess it's just impossible to please everyone all of the time.[/quote] It's totally possible. And it's exactly what they did with Sins:Trinity at the end of it's life-cycle. Made it available on all platforms and let the consumer buy from whichever he/she wants. I don't understand why they are maki

One more question actually occurs to me now that you pointed it out, you said "prior to the sale of impulse". Does that mean that Stardock games were only transferable if you bought them before Impulse was sold to gamestop, or can you still do it even now(and if so, between what distributors? Only Impulse or Steam as well)? Thanks.

So if you bought the 3 parts of games separately(the base + both expansions) as they were released on impulse you still couldn't transfer it over? You would have to buy it as one complete package? I ask because I'd be willing to buy diplomacy on Impulse if it allowed me to access trinity from Stardock. Otherwise there's not really any good way of going about it, since I'd rather not play from Impulse and it seems unfair to buy the whole thing again just to

So it's been a long while since I last played, and this is my first time visiting Stardock's new site. I was happy to see that I was able to download my old Stardock games(which I had bought on Impulse before... Gamestop), the only exception seems to be Sins of a solar empire. I had bought the base game(retail) and the second expansion(entrenchment) online, but my downloads page it says "Sins of a Solar Empire (Download + Retail box)" and tells me to download and register
It's part of the crossworlds goty install. It's included in that, and can be accessed from the main menu, so it doesnt have it's own entry in the games list.
So can anybody tell me what "king's bounty crossworlds sourcemedia" is on my games list? It came with the platinum pack.

I always pay with my credit-card and had my games become ready to install in a timely manner(almost immediately), would it be any different if I chose to pay using PayPal?

Just curious why were the colored shield effects removed? They used to be in some older versions of this mod, and they were awesome. Feels like it's lost something.

It would be nice if they could actually gain some interesting abilities, rather than just running up and smacking stuff.
If this game's mp is going to be true "wait for your turn" tbs... I fail to see how anybody will put up with 16 or 32 player games(honestly you have to have a special kind of patience to put up with waiting for turns at all). How is mp really going to work? I've seen little info.
I also recently watched the gametrailers video and everything was just gravy until the tactical battle section [e digicons]x_x[/e] I know it's been said that it's going to be improved, and I'm sure it will, but the core mechanics of it were pretty unimpressive (2 units trading boring attack animations, with number-crunching and stats to sort out the winner) and I don't know if a little polish will make a dramatic difference. I'm also wondering how terrain will
As shown in the video scaling should at least be an OPTION.
Did you play Sins of a Solar empire? was that boring too? I've played plenty of RTS that were great(total annihilation, WiC, etc). I dont even see how "zerging" or rushing would even apply to this since the game as a whole is TBS, and what we are discussing right now is the Tactical battles portion, so all unit production/ "zerging" would need to be done in the TBS part of the game regardless of whether tactical battles were TBS or RTS. <
Yes, but it wasnt changed to a pure tbs system until recently. Huge disappointment for me. I dont understand how people will think (slowly)chasing eachother's tiles around as they constantly counter-pick will be more fun. Or how 1 or 2 frame hit animations will be more rewarding. How would this accommodate any real sense of army vs army combat? Anything is better than pure tbs [e digicons]:([/e] (I've been readin
Thankyou for answering my previous question, I have another if you(or anybody else) wouldnt mind [e digicons]O:)[/e] The idea is that you zoom in to a given battle and you see all your units there. From there, you can set the speed you want the action to take place (from “turns” to real time). Does this still hold true? That is what was written at the beggining of the warfare section, but further
So have all "real-time" elements been cut(from tactical battles)? I'm far more familiar with rts than tbs. I just dont get how "massive" battles are going to be fought on a tbs system. Then again, the only tbs warfare game I've really played was the Advance wars series, so maybe someone could enlighten me? It just seems like tbs + lots of units + huge battle would take *alot* more time and management(and counter-picking) than if it was rts.  
Edit: nevermind. Is there no way to delete one's post?

I was watching some beta videos on youtube( http://www.youtube.com/user/Gorstagg This guy is really good) and the uploader mentioned the same thing, paying gold to magical apparitions doesn't seem right.
