Buying this game

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hello,

I want to buy this game, a couple of questions.
Is there a paper manual in the boxed version?
Is this game also being sold in the Netherlands, cause that's where i live.
If it isn't sold overhere or if there isn't a paper manual I guess i'll just buy the digital version and download it.

Yeah, there's a manual. If you can't find it locally, and you do buy it directly from Stardock, they'll will send you a boxed copy for an additional $5 shipping fee.

Hi,

I'm Dutch as well and checked all stores (Freerecordshop, E-Plaza, Dixons and a local gamesshop) no luck at all, so i choose the 'buy-it-direct download it now and ship me the box' option... I'm happily playing the game atm whilst waiting for the game to arrive, how sexy is that!

Cheers,
DrAtomic

Yes it will be sold in the netherlands.

For instance www.bol.com delivers it between 2-4 working days and i've called Dynabyte and they will sell it from next thursday. For me both options take too long so i decided to buy the game directly from Stardock and since the manual is available online as well there is no need for me to purchase a hardcopy.

Btw i must admit that im downloading the game as we speak and its very easy and well arranged. Thusfar im a very satisfied customer.

I have ordered it 8 days ago (March, 5th) from Stardock, with the shipping option. Box wasn't avaliable in stores. I still have received no box. I live in France, I do not believe there should be any problem, but still, I am wondering why 8 days after I still do not have it...

Maybe would I then advise the download option? You have the online manual provided with the download, and reading it is clear enough...

I am sorry that you have not yet recieved your game, Telparion. Simply put, we have had far more demand for the product than we expected. We have been manufacturing more boxes, but it takes several days for them to get to us, for us to package them, address them and put the postage on, and to send them on to you. There are several sacks and boxes filled with packages right now, in the Stardock lobby, and I am sure we would be packaging more if we had more boxes.

I would certainly advise the download option if you just want the game immediately.
