If only there was a way for me to throw my money at your coffers right now I would. (Aside from buying copies of games I already own.)

Good marketing, I was not about to buy the game (at least full price).

Thanks...it's a tradition in all AGEOD games since we started...we have a famous actor impersonified as one of the game's character...kind of tribute to the movie people and industry...

We also have sometime less than famous developers, designers, volunteers personified :) . Who knows, perhaps one of you can get a tribute as a Roman general?

Matthew Broderick is in AACW, as is Kevin Costner. In one of the scenarios of that game, one of the Phils makes an appearance.

This plus the fact that there is no saddle gave them like the Plain Indians the most terrible and horrible Warcry. Whoo-Whoo-Whoo :thumbsup:

*crying in agonizing pain*

he IS one of the developers monitoring the idle work of us betas... sorry more than playing it through weekly and clearing the last dust of history is not possible...
but the core team is doing a tremendous job for you and patience will be paying off. :crying:

Yellow Ribbon, that is good to hear. My deepest thanks to you, your fellow betas, the Phils, and, most of all, the developers, for all you hard work in preparing this fascinating game. Of course, I will pre order it as soon as I can, and in the meantime, I have PON to keep me busy.

Best of luck to you all,
