[...] there’s a load of links for you to explore the game if you don’t know it yet – The Demo’s here – and we still haven’t talked about what’s in the pack. Better get a move [...]

I agree some people do not buygames on budget however when you can pick up the cream of the strategy genre on budget why should you pay more for anything else? The best of the gaming world is available on budget and although iwill admit it is a good game, ( icant get enough of the demo ) the price structuring for it sadly puts me off buying it, personally i would not pay more than £9.99 for it any thoughts on this people?

Some people don’t just buy games on budget, man :)

Just played the demo and it is an awesome game but im not paying a whole £17 British pounds to play what is essentially a turn based hex strategy game when i can pickup 3 decent RTS titles for a tenner or galactic civilistaions 2 for 8 pounds!

Thanks for introducing me to Armageddon Empires! I bought it and am enjoying it tremendously. The unearthing of rare gems is one of the reasons we're (non)paying you fine fellows. The Bill Harris walkthrough has also a sixth part. In it Bill explains the creation and use of the tactics cards.

I think this is the perfect game for just wasting some time, and focusing one’s thoughts.

I might pick it up – it depends what $30 U.S. amounts to in CDN. I have no idea why stores still insist on Canadians paying more (and for virtual product!) when the Canadian dollar is worth more than the U.S. one..

lol KG it was a joke. I was expecting just a ‘No’ from you tbh. Will give this a download later I think I have read the tutorial and it looks quite good.

Yes, I was just checking the patch notes myself. Using WASD for scrolling should be a big help with navigating the map.

Just checked and it works in the demo, actually. Great!

There is a mac version available too.
This is a good one if you like strategy.

Pidesco: Apparently there’s been quite a few tweaks since release.

Piratepete: Yes, it does. Or, at least, that’s its fiction, but in game it’s just rolling dice for its attack value.

The GUI problems should be easily fixed in a patch, though. Support for higher resolutions would be great, and if they implemented map scrolling with mouse, it would go a long way to make the interface less cumbersome.

I’m thinking that a GUI akin to the one used in Stars! could work rather well with this game. Movable windows for each part of the interface would be great for this game. I have no idea if that would be doable in Director, though.
