What happened to the release of this game?

[InnocentIII]

B&W was too tedious, my kids played it a bit (nice that I could check up on whether they were being good by just looking at their cursor ).

Alpha Centauri added the borders to the Civ map, which was a nice touch and I'm glad they brought it into Civ3. My recollection is that the diplomacy was decent, but it's been a long time. The big trouble was that the tech advances had no connection to anything real and so learning them was a chore, I never did get the hang of them. The result was that, while Civ3 drew you gently into a more and more complicated game, AC threw you into the water and said "swim".

By more and more complicated I mean more and more choices available to you - at first you make a few, easy ones, then it gets harder. That is the beauty of Civilization (and Colonization). In AC, since the tech tree was so alien to me, the choices seemed daunting from the start.

I bought TT from Amazon - simple and easy, just had to wait a few days.

Why do I seem to be the only person buying from (or whose even heard of!) Deep Silver?

I think it's another German distributing company so is it related to Koch? I'm buying from Amazon in the UK when it's eventually released in May (I think).

Merlact, I saw a duel copy of Two Thrones/Crown of the north in Game today for like £15.

On the Game website Two Thrones is released on the 27th of May for £29.99, where is the shop you saw it in?

B&W quite literally made me nauseous! :wacko:

I have never had a game give me motion-sickness before! I will sell a barely-used copy for $5 and the cost of postage, or simply the cost of postage and some Drammamine.

That's weird. In Switzerland, there are tons of it. I saw a stack of about 6-7! Victoria, too... they even sell it in a book store! Admittedly, that particular one has an excellent games section, but still...

I saw a single copy in one of the three software stores in the local mall here in El Cajon, CA... I didn't pick it up as I hadn't read up on it much yet, but I'm considering it. But *one* copy in *one* store?

I ordered my copy of Two Thrones back in January of this year from Amazon.com, for delivery to a address in the USA. The game took approx two months to arrive.

I must admit I havent seen it anywhere in the Uk yet, just checked on Amazon.co.uk it has a release date of May 21. however, it does say that it can be delivered to most countries in Europe.

On another topic I also order victoria via Amazon.co.uk. The game took 7 days to arrive, so that was not to bad.

I have always found amazon to be quite a good way to order games, and they always come in quite good time.

I've been in the mood to try out oldies but goodies that I passed up, so let me know how Alpha Centauri is. I just ordered Total Annihilation yesterday

The sequel to Total Annihilation is coming out soonish i believe, can´t remember what it´s called though

I saw several copies of TT at a SF Bay Area Fry's electronic. No need to say, I was a bit shocked :0

EU II is still available online and should not be at Underdogs. Paradox and SF should inform them.

They are only reviewed. There's no download link.
