    I downloaded the demo.
    It is much better than SE3.
    It has less micromanagement, better graphics and better diplomacy.
    See for yourself.

The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

      Thanks - I got it - looks good from a five minute glance - will perhaps look harder today...

        In my five (5) attempts to download this, I ended up with files of 11.7 megs; 12 megs; 12.5 megs, 11.3 megs and 12.5 megs. Has anyone else been having problems downloading?

              On the download page, they split the demo up into 13 pieces. Each piece is only 1.3 Mb. So, I recommend you download the demo piece by piece rather than all in one shot. I downloaded it piece by piece, and it works fine!

                I just downloaded the demo.

                It looks like it has a lot of promise. I like some of the diplomacy options, and wish something like that was incorporated into a civ game. Only problem so far is the kind of steep learning curve.

                  Is anyone else not able to get to that website? The main site (malfador.com) isn't coming up. It keeps saying "Forbidden."

                      Kyle,

                      I don't know what happened here. I d/l'd the demo on the 19th, the day after Par4 first posted his message, but now I get the same error as you when I try to access the site. Hmmm...

                        I think they are doing something involving the game with the publisher and beta testers online. It might be online beta testing. They said they were going to have to do publisher beta testing before the game is released.

                          Just a foobar on the webmaster's part. Accidentally making the files unreadable to the public.

                          I just got there. They don't have the small files anymore. Just the huge blob.

                            I have ZoneAlarm, but it's never done this before. Plus I just shut it down and it's still isn't working. If they would just put the demo out on some game sites.

                            I'm running BeOS right now, and it still doesn't work. With Opera or NetPositive. This is very odd.
