Re: Tuxgames
 

I emailed them today asking what's up, no reply yet. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif I got Dominions 2 from them just fine, too bad it's not working out real well this time.

Re: Tuxgames
 

Good! I hope you'll post what they said if they still haven't got the game then http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
Well that is a little reassuring at least.

Re: Tuxgames
 

For people who ordered from Tux Games before: how long did you have to wait ?

I paid for the game on 17th october, and it wasn't in stock at the moment. It said 'sold out. stock expected to arrive on 10th october'.

Now it's 24th, my money's gone, and they still don't have the game. Did it happen before ? How much more I may have to wait ?

Re: Tuxgames
 

I ordered september 29th, and I am still waiting for my order from tuxgames http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/fear.gif

Last news I got from them was october 14th and they were expecting their shipment in a matter of days.
I wonder what's taking so long, and why they didn't at least update the date on their website if they still don't have any in stock.

@Teraswaerto : any answer to your e-mail since ?

Re: Tuxgames
 

I sent them an e-mail yesterday, by the way (ordered the game on October 8th or so). No reply yet, obviously (but then again that would be fast), but we'll see.

I don't really like the way Tuxgames handles its business at all.

Re: Tuxgames
 

I have not yet received any response to my email.

Re: Tuxgames
 

From their website :

"On the 25th and 26th of October, Tux Games will be at UK Linux Expo ..."

I fear that if games are not shipped today, they won't be until after Linux Expo, meaning 2 more days of waiting and mad refresh, aaargh ... !!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/mad.gif

Re: Tuxgames
 

"Hey guys, we'll spend two days at Linux expo (plus another two doing "assorted business") and we'll have such a great time there! YAY!
... yeah your games. Who cares about 'em anyway?"

Re: Tuxgames
 

For those still waiting for tuxgames, check the CIV4 mod "Fall from Heaven 2"

It's a TC fantasy mod (Total Conversion = almost a different game) with a lot of work already done.

Don't be afraid by the low version number (currently 0.16c), in fact 0.16 is supposed to be the last version of the core game (what would be 1.0 in other games). Future versions numbers will be for the mod next steps (think of them as "expensions"), the current state is stable and feature-rich (magic, dragons, alignment, religions whose choice has a lot of effect ingame, unique heroes, nations with lots of flavor (not as much as dom, but ...) , etc ...)

Minor update
Seems like Tux Games changed their availability status from Sold out. Stock expected to arrive on 10th october to more vague temporarily sold out. Does it make you happier ? At least we know for certain they do update the page.
