Will Fences 2 be a free upgrade? in Fences Stardock Forums

Hello, I've been a Fences Pro user for a long while (First with OD subscription, and then I purchased a license separately when OD ran out). Will I be eligible for a free upgrade to Fences 2? I sure hope so.

That all sounds great. :) Does Rebellion also feature the campaigns of the original game and its mini-expansions?

Reply to Differences between Trinity and Rebellion in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I was going to post a new thread, but a reply to this one will probably suffice: As a new player, will Sins: Rebellion offer all the features found in Trinity? Which of the two would you recommend to someone that is interested but not very skilled with strategy games?

Reply to Am I eligible for a Steam unlock code if I have the game on Impulse? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

In my experience, quite a few developers who sold games BEFORE distributing on Steam gave complementary Steam copies/codes to those users that purchased the non-Steam licenses. So I reject your argument about it being an impossibility, as it seems like the major reason is simply your unwillingness to provide this service. Which is fine by me (perhaps there is a fee to Valve associated with it making it financially restrictive to port thousands of existing licenses, I don't know),

Reply to Am I eligible for a Steam unlock code if I have the game on Impulse? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Well, this is disappointing. I might repurchase when the game drops down below 10$. I'm not cheap, but there's no good reason for me to even pay that much since I already own the game.

Am I eligible for a Steam unlock code if I have the game on Impulse? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Hey Stardock, I'm not sure if this currently possible, but I would very much like to permanently associate GalCiv 2 Complete with Steam. I've owned the game for many years, and one of the reasons it doesn't see as much play as it should is because I really hate having multiple digital distribution services installed. If there's a way to do this, I would love to take advantage of it. Thanks!

Reply to I bought the game.....again! in War of Magic Stardock Forums

I also got a refund early on (to one day purchase it again, hopefully). Can someone tell me more about the expansions (content, pricing, etc.)? Seems like a good incentive to repurchase.

And when did I say that not liking Steam is not a legitimate opinion? I'm just saying it discredits the entire review system when people give blanket 1-star reviews without trying out the product. It is well-known that the game is a Steamworks title, so why go out of your way to protest that with a 1-star review on Amazon?<b

No, I never said that. I said that Elemental would have gotten a better reception from critics if it was called "Sid Meier's Elemental: War of Magic". It's a subtle but important distinction. Like I said, I've never played Civ 5 - in fact, my computer refuses to run it

Reply to Now I'm Upset in War of Magic Stardock Forums

I'm with you, OP. I preordered a day before release, and got my refund. You should get a refund, but it isn't your right to get one, since you agreed to the terms of the sale when you preordered the game. Still, considering the release problems and bugs, I think a refund is justified even for those that got it 90 days ago.

They aren't going to make you manage an insane amount of units because you don't need to anymore. And yet I heard this game was more focused on combat than the games were previously.

I have been hearing this debate for what seems like 10 years and have come to one conclusion, SD has gotten it right with fleets/parties. It shows they have learned a lesson from all the great 4x games of old. In MOO2 (the greatest 4x game imho), two fleets fought with a combination of arms, whereas in the Civ series, stacks fight one unit at a time with real cap on number of attacks/defen
