"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?"

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.

I received an automated email from them saying my credit card has been accepted, which I think means they shipped my order now, since they were supposed to charge the card only after they received the game.

@Teraswaerto : what status is currently your order and when did you make your order ?

Mine has been in "card validated" since the first day (I checked to allow them to process the payment immediatly).

... It was almost one month ago (september 29th) ...

Hoppefully this time the game has indeed shipped ...

Hum... IIRC I did check the "charge only when shipped"-box, though they immediately sent the card validated-message...

They still should sent some kind of Your order has been dispatched-message, no?

no message since (exept for an answer to my own e-mail asking informations, telling that they were expecting their stock to arrive -that was 14 days ago-), and no status update on my order since "Card Validated" 1 month ago.

I guess so.

I have been having high hopes for the shipment for the past few days, and suddenly I realized the only sole reason is this post:

I even had a dream about recieving the game

. Unfortunately the dream was so lifelike I was quite really dissapointed for hours after waking up

I have just checked, and my order status has been updated today to "Product Shipped", at last !
