Hi all,
I am a happy owner of BoA and ACW (other than not having time to play enough to suit me) and would like to order WIA. I am in the USA and don't see an option to order with the printed manual and physical media. Being old fashioned, I like to have a printed manual and don't mind paying more for it. I can't find an order option other than download, is it possible to order WIA with the paper manual?
Thanks,
George

I'd also be willing to pay more to get a boxed version with a manual. Is there any chance that this will ever happen? If so, is there a chance that people who bought the downloaded version might get a discount for the boxed version (that way I'd buy the download version now, and then get the box version when/if it arrives)?

Patience to all -- this game is not yet a month old. In the past (from what I read) Ageod has waited to release boxed versions, after seeing how the sales #'s looked on download. Remember that they are an international company and have to think of cost.

I'm not impatient really, I just don't want to pay to download the game if they plan on releasing a boxed version in 3 months. If they don't plan on doing that I might as well get the game now, but if they are planning on doing it, I'd rather wait (unless there's a chance for a discount, for the people who bought the download version). I just want to know either way.

I also would like to buy the boxed version
I am so old fashioned. Of course, most people who play games about antique wars may be a bit old fashioned....
I have BoA, ACW and NCP all boxed. It was a good idea, since I have had to wipe and reload more than once. Even after moving on to other things, I come back to them all months later.
An enduring game deserves an enduring format!

I'm not aware of any plans for boxed versions, nor am I aware of there not being any (yeah, not very helpful, I know)
What I do know, is that it's perfectly OK if you wish to burn the downloaded installer file and your serial key onto a CD (perhaps along with the most current patch, as of the burning) so that you'll have a backup of what you need to install (and play) the game. I know this isn't quite the same as having a full-fledged boxed version, but it should at least take care of wipe/reload concerns

Hi!
As the AGEOD bosses (the ones who could better ask to this questions) are on vacations, i will try to give some non official answers.
- Don't know if AGEOD plans to sell directly physical copies of the game or when.
- All their previous games had been released on retail shops by local distributors on a lot of different countries. I bet WIA will also get distributed around. Of course, no idea of possible release dates...
- If you want a physical copy of the game, your best bet for the moment is Matrix Games. One of Matrix bosses has announced the release of the game as download, physical or download+physical. Psychical includes printed manual. Planned date is late august it seems. Check here

By previous experience with Matrix, the price will be similar to the AGEOD one on Digital download, plus 10 $ for physical plus shipping expenses.
- Of course the downside of buying AGEOD digital download version is that you have to print the pdf manual yourself or read it on screen.
Fortunately, you download the game in a 500 mb sized file which you can easily backup on a CD-R (or hard disk or pen drive...) on 2 minutes and store it safely and use for future installs without any other limitation. As good as a real CD game. Just don't lost your serial key
- The good thing about buying directly from AGEOD is that the guys who best deserve our money and support (AGEOD) gets 100% of the money, and not just a fraction of it as it happens if you buy it on a retail shop or through other distributors.
Regards!
EDIT: Rafiki was faster than me... but i say more things!!
