International release?

[LDiCesare]

I still don't know if or when GalCiv will be available in stores in France. I know someone asked for Australian release recently, someone else for European / Italian release earlier.
So I too ask, because I see no clue that the game will be released in Europe, where will it be released?
I know the web site says:
Overseas availiability is sketchier since it'll be distributed via many different sources. I don't have those answers since that's not in Stardock's area (we just make the game).
But, Brad, can you at least point us towards the person/firm we should ask the question to? IG? Anyone specifically?

I know we can get it online though Amazon and others, but I prefer to buy things in stores than though the web...

If you opt to download it from the website, I imagine it wouldn't matter what country you lived in, so long as you had the internet connection. But if you don't have broadband, I guess that would be really difficult

Yea, I really have no idea. Retail distribution is a weird thing.

You have Stardock - we make the game. Then you have Strategy First, they are the publisher. Then you have the distributor. In Europe, each country has their own distributor. So I have no idea.

If you want the game on the 26th, you can purchase it form GalCiv.com and be able to download it right away and have the CDs sent to you.

Will they send the CDs internationally, though?

[ikilledmybroker]

When I bought The Corporate Machine some times ago (years I think), they shipped the CD to me in the UK.

Can we assume the same this time round?

[Lemmy]

All users will have the option to have a CD sent to them as well ($5 to $10 in shipping)
I think that would include international shippinh/

I *@#$ing hope so Lem. Otherwise there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth in Germany.

I see you have moved.


DUCK !!!!!

I'm just using the Iraq flag for the duration of the war. Its pretty butt ugly though. Then the B.A.T. flag will fly again. (However long I stay in Germany I'm not using their flag)

Well I would hope that your loyalties are of the Red, White & Blue variety !!!!

(And I don't mean French !!!!!)

[Jamski]

I think only Sun readers are actually in favor of this war in Britain. The news today has been full of sit-down strikes, mass demonstrations and fights with the police in Whitehall. Seems the majority of red, white and blue supporters have the red of national embarassment, the white of peace and the blue from the bruises left by the "caring" policemen. If only Blair had told Bush where to stuff his war.... oh well, he'll be out at the next election now for sure after shooting himself in the foot like this.

Let's agree to disgree on that one.

Next stop Baghdad.

[Jamski]

Sure. :b: It will all be over by Monday & I think the GalCiv forum is not really the place either.

-Jam

[Boris Godunov]

My hunch is they will not be shipping the game to Baghdad.

[Jamski]

And THAT, more than any other reason, is why war is evil.

Yes, I have complete sympathy for the Iraqis who will be deprived of playing this game. Maybe if Saddam had had better games to spend his time on, he wouldn't have been such a ruthless **** of a tyrant. ;)

Well... trying to be on-topic, I really would like to know if GalCiv will be released in Brazil. I'd guess so, because MOO3 was released here (although it is pretty hard to find it anywhere) and both games are published by Infogrames, aren't they?
