Unfortunately, this will probably not happen. Although, coincidentally enough, Andre and I were just talking about this very feature, and we're going to architect our future games in such a way that this sort of thing is very easy for us to implement.

Another thing that a (partial at least) replay would be great for is PBEM games. It's always better if you can actually see what your opponent did vs. just having a changed environment to work from.

installing over beta
 

Got a question about installing the retail game for beta testers. Do we need to uninstall the last beta verison that was released then install the retail. Or can we just install it over the beta version?

Re: installing over beta
 

Pfreak, since they are called two different things, they will not interfere when both are installed on the same drive (or at least I haven't had any issue). However, since the betas were time expired, there really isn't a reason to keep it on your hard drive.

Re: installing over beta
 

yeah, Mindi's exactly right. I recommend uninstalling the beta, though the two are completely independant and won't interfere with one another.

How did you get so omniscient, Mindi? =)

Griner, PBEM will work when the v1.10 patch is released (very soon).

Back to the \"patch\"
 

I know this is just anticipation asking but any word on when this might be out? Besides the fact that all the new options will make this easier to play, I have a friend who might be more inclined to purchase with the patch's capabilities. He'd also prefer a download purchase option but that's for a different thread...

Re: Back to the \"patch\"
 

It was handed off to Shrapnel a couple of days ago. They should have it out very soon now.

Beyond that, I can't tell you exactly. =)

It seems that the ratings site keeps a record of internet games (I discovered this by randomly clicking around in the list of games). You don't get a nice picture of it, though.

Re: Usability suggestions
 

That replay of the game turns is kind of an Easter Egg. It's more of a debug tool for me when there's some sort of problem, I can play back through the turns and see exactly what actions were done to cause a bug or some other type of problem.

But, for the average user it can quickly show the general tide of battle as an interesting piece of eye candy.
