mercenarius:

Understood. Thanks.

[zakblood]

like me or not, but fear me

[zakblood]

i came, i saw, i conquered

[zakblood]

this one always seem's a strange rule to me, not in this game test i'm on either, but one from yesterday, still think it's an odd one, as Paris would have no power to control a unit matching or anything else tbh, only reinforcements etc, so again just mentioned it

[zakblood]

seems nobody want to play with me



i wonder why[:D][;)]

[Uncle_Joe]

Maybe once it's multiplayer you'll find someone to challenge you!

[IainMcNeil]

Sorry we haven't been able to get a normal beta out - we just were short of time and it is quicker to get a Steam beta setup so we felt better to get it started than delay things waiting for an installer beta. We'll try and ensure future betas have installers.

[Johnus]

Any word on when the patch is going to be available for non-Steam users?

[Hanal]

I have been holding off purchasing the game until this update becomes official, so hopefully it will be soon....

[YohanTM]

never mind

[Johnus]

The public beta was released on April 29. Ten days later and there is still no patch for those of us who don't use Steam.

[zakblood]

2 weeks isn't that long for a beta update tbh, but sorry about the delays, it will be out when and as soon as it's ready, no date either i'm sorry to say, not that i'd know either, just making a comment and reply

[Johnus]

I don't think I'm splitting hairs by saying that: I was not implying that the delay between beta patch and final was too long. Rather, people who use Steam have had the beta since April 29, while I have neither the beta nor the final patch.

[bobarossa]

I'm willing to wait as I'm afraid if we complain too much, Matrix will dump non-steam gaming like Paradox did.

[Johnus]

bob: You may be right. Maybe soon we'll also have our books, television and music provided exclusively via Steam.

I think Amazon already has that covered!

[Johnus]

Somewhere a conscious decision was made not to make the public beta available to non-Steam users. Almost two 2 weeks have passed since the beta was issued. Nuff said. I have just made a conscious decision to shelve this game and to avoid future offerings from this source. This is partly as a protest against what I feel is shabby treatment; and I also need a way to cut back on game purchases.

[stormbringer3]

I'm one of the people who won't use steam. I'm looking forward to the upcoming patch through a Matrix download.

[Nimrod 9th]

I second Stormbringer3 100%. Don't/won't use steam and looking forward....
