Shouldn't take too long to get to local stores or places such as Amazon either. (for a boxed game rather than downloading it)

I doubt they would make anyone wait weeks or months to buy it with other methods. It might not be as widely known as some other RTS titles, but those of us that do know it are very eagerly waiting to play it.

gamersgate did have pre-orders up for quite a while before Men of War was out. but more recent titles on gamersgate from 1c like death to spies moment of truth has gone up the day before release. so it's impossible to say. fingers crossed for the same thing happening with armored princess and red tide on the 30th.

it looks like the company relationship between 1c and gamersgate/paradox changed a bit in the time between now and then. initially gamersgate had this big exclusive deal on all these awesome games king's bounty, men of war, cryostasis, necrovision and so on. but I think most if not all of these came out on all other download outlets shortly after. or maybe even at the same time in some cases. also it looks like the retail publishing partner 505 has been completely phased out now. so, a lot of changes.

i bought MoW on DVD but i have a sneaky suspicion red tide may not be available at amazon. i like the DVD so 2 years from now and i get a hair up my ass to play it, i have it to reinstall. what do you guys do if you download it and 6 months from now your drive crashes and you need to reinstall? what if a year from now you want to play it again and you've already removed it from you hard drive? also, i know alot of you bypass RTFM but i like to read it and i can't/won't print a 60 page PDF on my printer and i don't want to alt-tab the game to read it on line. besides, alt-tab does bizarre things with MoW!.

so first, does anyone know if it's coming out on DVD and second, if anyone is bored tell me digital downloading will be painless in all respects mentioned above....thanks!!

that's a great fake scenario. but whatever. it's up now for downloaders

I'm excited


doesn't look like there is a retail version coming any time soon, no.

Why is the distribution in europe so bad? Men of War failed in Germany a year ago because of this.

The Downloadsector is not the best way for promoting a good game. You can offer it for more people at the same time, but it seems you still will not do that .

BTW Where can i find the LAN Modus in Red Tide?
