just before I was starting to write insults for the bad joke, I went to the Shrapnel sub site, and IT IS TRUE !!!

DEMO IS OUT.

and then the forum went silent!

thanks Catquiet for the header. I must declare myself sick at work.

I'm at work, so I wont play it before some hours (just saw the intro with the nice 3D rendering), but I see no manuals in the doc folder, just the one page quickstart.

tell me its just an error and we can download one soon?

Did I miss it asking me whre to put the game? I hate games that dont ask.

If it didnt ask, will it mess up patches and such if I move it to my game drive?

I also saw registry entries? Sorry, I should have looked closer but I was in a hurry. Does that mean I wont be able to have more than one copy on my machine?

Ran into a problem right away. Dom 2 starts up, but then unexpectedly quits. I have SDL so that shouldn't be a problem.
I'm using mac os x

You missed it, so that's no reason to hate the game.

If you don't like registry entries you can remove them. The only drawback is manual uninstall and having to find the game executable manually when patching. But you won't unistall it, right?! Dominions II itself doesn't use any reg entries, only the install programs does.
