That's not the 50+ races of DomIII surely :(

This game looks promising but I'm realizing KO and JK spoiled me a bit :D

EDIT: Also, 2 pages manual! That's not definitively 300+... I hope so they're going for a game "easy to learn but difficult to master" as DomIII and not just for a simple game.
DOUBLE EDIT: Starforce and every-hour check requiring to be always online and to uninstall iTunes and cd-burning programs? I'm an honest gamer buying what I like, but I'm out of this :o
CORRECTION: The informations from the 2 edits above were a joke from the devs. Those guys are stupids. I like them :D (But of course still like KO and JK moooreee ;) )

I think it's fair to expect that big part of computer owners will have 4GB of RAM in 2010. DDR3 should be standard by then.

I'm kind of surprised that anyone would pre-order a game that doesn't even go into beta for 7 months. Then another 9 months of beta before the game is probably released. You're basically spending $50 on a promise of something that you might like to play at some point in the distant future.

Did I say surprised? I meant jealous. Hey guys I'm developing a game that combines the best features of Dominions 3, Master of Magic, the Age of Wonders franchise, the Total War series, AND the upcoming Elemental game. Should be released Q4 of 2015. Taking non-refundable preorders now. :D

actually, if you bothered to read the info you would know that your credit card is not charged until the beta is released in june 09.

Re: OT: Stardocks Fantasy TBS
 

I wonder what they do with individuals who use a credit card which expires in Mar 09. Nothing I need to worry about, but I'm sure the scenario exists.

Re: OT: Stardocks Fantasy TBS
 

Ive pre-ordered longer than that. I have no problem with providing some support for independent game developers. Heck I pre-ordered VGA Planets 4 in 2001 and Im still waiting for it.

Re: OT: Stardocks Fantasy TBS
 

good question. perhaps the card you pay with has to have an expiration date of June 2009 or later.

Re: OT: Stardocks Fantasy TBS
 

Even on the off chance that the web dialog would allow it, I'd go out on a limb here and guess that Impulse would not actually authorize you to DL the beta client, until your card had been successfully charged. So to sum up, they would do nothing, so would you. ;)

Isn't it already available, according to http://home.comcast.net/~twisseman/vgap/v4home.htm ?
