Birth of America

[Reiryc]

Anyone else have this game yet?

It's a simple game to play but one that has a lot going on under the hood that you can get into if you choose.

I've been playing the heck out of this game as being able to play both the revolutionary war and the french and indian war is quite a treat. I find myself suffering from the 'just one more turn' syndrome which is always a plus in my book. I got the digital download and it cost about $34 in which I've gotten my money's worth several times over in how much I've played this thing.

Here's a link to the site to check it out if you haven't already and a link to their forums.

Here is what seems to be the official website:

This game is long on my list to check out, I think I´ll just give it a try now.

You will not be dissappointed...it is a great game with a challenging AI....unfortunately other responsibilities do not allow me to play it much now, but I will enjoy returning to it down the road.....they have a good support system too and has been improved even moreso with a few patches....enjoy

I am greatly enjoying the game. Great interface, good AI, great Dev support, wonderful engine, and really fun to play. I can't wait to see what their next subject covers. I'm guessing Seven Years War followed closely by the American Civil War.

Matrix should try to pick up this company unless someone else did it before them

"Pick" them up? It seems that they already have a publisher. What they really need is a North American distributor for the boxed version -- that is supposed to come with a printed manual.

Hey Guys,

This game looks really good, some questions on whoever has it. How do turns take place? I am having trouble understanding if you give turns then watch the game play out or if it is RTS? Anyone know the answer to this? Also, anyone know if this game is in USA yet? Or did everyone get the digital download?

Thanks people,
jason

Give your orders, it plays out. Get it off their website,. I ordered it and then was also able to DL it before it actually shipped.

[randell765]

thanks for the answer,
I think I will get this game when I get paid. Looks like a winner.

What was the total cost for a physical shipment (in Yankee dollars)?

Game is We-go if you are familiar with that style.

You can only order from them at their website, either digital download or boxed version. I believe, that if you order the boxed version, they will also give you a serial code so you can download it as well. There really is no need though in my opinion as the manual isn't larger or more comprehensive than what you get on pdf, but the option does exist. Just contact them before you order about the serial code as they have to get it to you through email or something like that.

Is it just me or does anyone else have a hard time moving on this site(birthplace of America)? I have high speed internet and everything pretty much flies except for this site. When I go to the download of the demo it shows it would take 16 hrs(at some ridicolous low rate of 2kb second, and sure enough, when I download it's slower than dirt).

If anyone could let me know, mabey it's my connection to that area?

Their server is being hammered by the Demo downloads so they are going to move it as soon as they can.

Excellent,
And here I though it was a problem with my computer. We'll, I guess I will wait until they have it running on Gamers Hell or Fileshack then.

[X(]It took me about 12 hours yesterday on my High-Speed DSL. At some point their website slowed to a crawl. I dd'd the optional 173mg Map-pack...superb btw! They are doing things right and the word is spreading like wildfire[;)].

Couldn't agree more with the last sentence.

They put out a quality product with a beautiful map and fun gameplay. It'd be nice to see matrix try to pick these guys up before another publishing company does.
