Tough, potential customer

[Sol Invictus]

From watching the news, Phillipe and Pocus seem to be the only French citoyens who are actually working. Everyone else seems to be rioting. That's fine though, because they work so hard and produce such quality that the French economy will be maintained by their efforts.

Actually, when I travelled to Paris about fifteen years ago, I was surprised how helpful and friendly the people were. We Americans hear all the bad stories about the French. I imagine that as a whole, most people throughout the world are fairly similar.

I think you can get to the conclusion easily : don't trust the news !

Agreed; over the years I have started to wonder if a person would be better informed if they watched less news. So much news is slanted or just incorrect. Seems everyone has an agenda.

That's like the students "strike" in France that happened these weeks. It was annoying for many of us, but not to the point that foreign newspapers should say that we had riots and governement being overthrown. But I suppose it makes their paper sell more

True, nothing sells papers or garners ratings in the U.S. like civil unrest in Western Europe; especially France. I imagine the same thing happens in Western Europe when the U.S. has its moments of discord.

Let's just say that it took Frenchmen to make the best computer wargame ever on the subject of the American revolution ... c'est moi retort finale

Yes ,today french medias are reporting blames from 6 US generals about D.Rumsfeld management of Irak's crisis ( from the military point of view essentially). Seems to be a serious affair...

I opened this thread as a "tough potential customer." I'd like to update you all that I'm a "very happy customer" now and especially wanted to report on the extraordinary customer service of Pocus, the game's lead developer.

If I had any doubts, they all are erased when I know that money goes to a small, independent development team that exemplifies the best customer service that I've ever seen with any software ever purchased.

I was unable to download the full version of the game, due to limitations on file sizes by my satellite internet provider. Each hour of download would stop to a crawl as slow as dialup when my file size limits were hit.

I tried three times over a three-day period and Pocus would not give up. I offered to convert to a CD order, but he still did not take the easy way out.

Pocus had to personally split up the game files so that I could download them in one-hour bursts. We exchanged several private e-mails on these details.

I have never seen such excellent support. I'm glad to have shifted from potential customer to very happy customer.

Now I look forward to playing this game.

I also thank everyone on this thread for their comments and reviews. They were very helpful.

To any other potential customer: Buy this game to support a new company that offers the best service I've personally ever witnessed.

Excellent news...

Hope you are enjoying the game and may I also suggest recommending the game on any other game related forums you may visit!
