I appreciate this, but it is impossible for me to force the variable - which is the Dread Lords appearance - so this is not of much use to me.

Sounds to me like the OP doesn't know how to whitelist @stardock.com on his mail server; probably the spam filter ate all the stardocks' e-mails... OP, e-mail if you need a step by step guide on how not to have e-mail eaten by the big bad filter monster and I'll even include a

I purchased the CE at Walmart and it DID NOT come with the TEch Tree Poster (which was the main reason I went out and bought it, rather than Dl'ing it. You shopped at Walmort?!?! And got ripped off?!?! Woah! Anyways, guys, I'm not sure why you are all debating
