Tages will take a while to be circumvented

Uses the same protection as Dark Athenna, shouldn't take too long.

Dark Athena took I think 10 days from release - and it was a far more "popular" and expected game

Uhmm have you looked at the 2 most obviously.. can't link since they are considered competitors but one site is a but uhmm playful and the either is a rainforest.. Price is 24.99 on both sites with free shipping.. might be cheaper sites but not find them...

thanks too late now tho as i already bought something else since i posted (import of Blazblue for ps3) and now i cant afford it anymore

I got it from a swedish based digital download site, no DRM, all you have to do is email them to recieve more installations, no phone calls. Not sure if i can name it as it might be a competitor?

If it sells computer hardware then it is a competitor, just computer games and DVD's your fine.

Just purchased this on Steam after playing the demo earlier. Can't wait to play it tomorrow evening.

I think I'll buy this, am after a slowish paced sim builder and this looks ace.

Anyone able to get some screenshots up? And post a bit of a review maybe?

Hmm, £35 though..

 

[Spektor]

£25 on rainforest, I gave in an re-ordered it, this game is far too awesome to worry about silly DRM ^^

There is a couple of good screenshots on the last couple of pages of the high res screenshot thread.

So if you want to install it you have to email them, then wait who knows how many hours for a reply?
Thats an even worse system that phoning them up! At least you can badger people over the phone.

 

[Craig R]

Is this kind of like Settlers with fancy graphics?

 

[Spektor]

Yeah, start with nothing, build a resource infrastructure to support a social infrastucture, leap frogging each other as you advance - all whilst tradin' and killin'. You should get the demo

 

[Craig R]

Might give it a bash. Liked Settlers back in the day.

 

[Hunders]

I reluctantly ordered this just a second ago. I like the demo but the draconian DRM was putting me off big time...

 

[Tombstone]

Enjoyed the demo, was going to buy it until I found out there was no multiplayer

 

[snowdog]

They really messed up with the DRM and no MP, this is exactly the reason why this game will be pirated heavily.

Get the 10th Anniversary edition of the Settlers then!

what a damn fine game that was, multiplayer on one machine it has some similarities i guess,

i think im going to have to order this DRM or not, CoJ2 will have to wait until bargain bucket and i'll wait to see how well Fuel is on the PC... too many games not enough hrs in the day ..

 

[~>Dg<~]

been looking at this with few of my mates not quite made my mind up to buy or not

does look very good visually

 

[Afran]

No MP? Seriously? Think I'll stick to 1701 then, what a waste of a title.
