You can easily message Annette at least (I had some questions/problems in the past) and she answers quickly.

I bought the game for my brother from that onlineshop and it's definitely legitimate.

Thanks, all I needed to know. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Hi, Kingwood,

I truly appreciate your making the effort to make sure you are buying from a legitimate reseller. We don't sell directly to this particular company, but we do have a company in Europe that acts as a distributor to other shops. I am checking with them to verify this is one of their customers and will let you know as soon as I hear back.

And to verify earlier replies, all three installations are on one CD. So if you buy from one of our authorized Linux dealers, you will also receive the Mac and PC installations.

Thanks Annette, awesome customer service. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

meister_miagi said he already bought the game from the store, so I guess it is legitimate. I will be waiting for your definite answer though, then buy the game.

Re: Want to buy the game, a couple of questions
 

I've heard back from our partner in Germany, and yes, this company is one of their customers. When you receive the game from them it should come shrink-wrapped with a coil bound manual and the game CD tucked inside the pages. The CD Key will be printed on the first page of the manual. If what you receive does not fit this description, please let us know right away http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Thanks a bunch, Annette. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

One last question regarding the multiplayer community:I skimmed through a lot of threads, and there seems to be some sort of conflict regarding Scorched Earth tactics (I assume meaning to make objectives as unuseable for your opponent as possible?) Since I am a player who will use everything available to him, which obviously means if I am on the losing side, I will employ such tactics, will I have enough people to play with? I do not want to join a game, and then have to end up in a discussion regarding my usage of such tactics.

I wouldn't worry too much about that Kingwood. Scorch that earth! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

No one will bother you if you do it. I know I do it all the time http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif. People on this forum just like to dissect every kind of playstyle sometimes... no big deal.

About the only thing that *might* get you the cold shoulder around here (besides cheating) is if you break a lot of NAPs or stale your turn often for no reason. And even then there are some players that do both regularly and still play in lots of games!

Sansanjuan, if you are having to pay 2 cents an hour, you just aren't spending enough time at this game!
