I like the changes.
Though I was really hoping to be getting a much larger diplomacy list and allot more resources to gather .
I am going to get this and download it ASAP!

I don't recall seeing you mention more diplomacy and more resources.
Both of these weren't in our plans to add to the game.

I never said I mentioned them.
Just that I want them, and crave them like twinkies.

Well if you want them, I'd suggest starting new threads with some details... so we are not reading your mind, trying to guess what you want... and reading your mind... I think I may not like to do that!!!

Re: Supreme Ruler 2020 Global Crisis Expansion Release
Is there a way to get Global Crisis on DVD? I always have problems with the limited number of activations GamersGate and Direct2Drive put on things.
I have a couple of games that I have to e-mail them every time I want to install now because they ran out of activations so I try to avoid buying from them and use a DVD purchase or Impulse (which doesn't have limited activations).

It is currently available only through digital download however GamersGate does allow you to download the installer that you can then burn to DVD. The game does not require activation, you only need your activation key (CD-key) that is included in one of the e-mails after you buy the game.
Buy it, download it, burn it, and you never need internet access for it again.

Hmm, is it different from game to game then? I bought a Sword of the Stars expansion through them and it allows me to burn it to a CD all right, and there's an activation key that I saved away, but each time I activate it, it needs Internet access and it subtracts one activation. There's a little message that says, "You have 6 activations remaining" or something like that. Once activated, it no longer needs Internet access until the next time I decide/need to reinstall it. If it's different in this case then I will go ahead and get it.Balthagor wrote:It is currently available only through digital download however GamersGate does allow you to download the installer that you can then burn to DVD.

@Trifler; It can be different from game to game, Paradox are the publisher but some developers put extra security measures on their software. We do not require internet activation of keys, only that you use a valid key.
@madjack, AFAIK Paradox have only signed a distribution deal with GamersGate. You could post on the Paradox forum if you'd like to ask them to widen their distribution rights.
