At tuxgames, don't they only sell Linux-based games?

Ah great since I just bought an iMac, I can use D3 witout having to switch to Windows! Ok, I guess I will order it...now!!!

They only sell linux-based games, but thats not quite the same as games that will only run on linux. Any game that can run on linux is in their scope. I greatly appreciate them limiting the view the way the do.

By the way, got my second copy today also. Thanks Shrapnel.

I don't understand one point: when I am in my shopping basket, I see "These games are only for use with the Linux operating system."

Does it mean they provide only the Linux installer???

I doubt their warning message changes with the games you choose.

It's fair warning, since some of the stuff they sell is Linux-only versions of games that already appear on other platforms. There's the slight risk of a user who's looking for a such a game not realizing that he's getting one for the wrong OS. With this one, it's not applicable, because the official distribution is multiplatform.

I just got home from work. Only had a chance to browse the manual while running the installation. Haven't even played yet. While flipping through the manual to get a feel for it I noticed a paragraph on page 4 that left me scratching my head for a moment:

Quote:

There is an Amber Clan backstory that is essential to playing Dominions 3, it plays such a pivotal role in the game everyone should know it if they truly wish to get the maximum amount of satisfaction out of the game. Here it goes: The Amber Clan Tritons mainly frolic, this has made them powerful. While frolicking they listen to whale songs, this has made them magical. When they occasionally do not frolic they fashion items made out of the amber that is so prevalent in their special provinces, this has given them the name The Amber Clan Tritons. -Johan Osterman

The manual looks fantastic! Thank you Shrapnel & Illwinter!

Oi! I SO want that manual! I'm already in love with it!
