My vague impression is that yes, this is 1.0 and Paradox is publishing it, globally. I assume they will have to take down the site with the beta releases.

Good for them, hope they do well - and good for Paradox, still one of my favorite publishers.

Ok - I finally got around to buying this. Any tips on starting out?

how is it? did you buy it through Paradox? what version number do you get etc?

Sorry for all the questions, this is one game i would consider buying having played the demo a fair bit awhile back.

Hmmm as for your question i seem to remember buying and selling goods was a waste of time, just concentrate on the combat and getting good at it(use the trainer/contest fight event in the starting town).

I bought it through Gamersgate (and slipped Vae Victus into the same order) and patched it up to 1.011. So far I'm enjoying the game; I've recruited about 10 men and we're travelling the countryside beating up on looters and avoiding pretty much everyone else. I just started doing quests for some of the Swadian nobility, too.

I'm still getting used to combat. I never like using the mouse to control my view, so that's taking some time to figure out.
