You should just need to go here and click the preorder button under '3 Tokens'. D'oh! (Smacks forehead). Thanks .

Will this be available for pre-ordering, or at least ordering, with tokens at totalgaming.net? I still can't figure out how to use tokens to pre-order the GalCiv II expansion. Maybe I'm missing something at that site. I recall that GalCiv2 was the first game published by Stardock itself. If so, does that make SoaSE the first Stardock-published game done by outside devs? Inquiring minds want to know.

...then using your tokens to obtain the expansion (assuming you're going to download it). Yarlen, any idea how many tokens the expansion will cost? (I have had 5 saved up just for this... )

I thinks the 2-page is fine, tho a bit text heavy. Maybe it will seem less so in a mag. Formatting it like the game's UI is clever. I, for one, do not skip past 2-page ads in gaming mags if the genre is one that interests me. Its ironic, though, that you've written in the past about how GalCiv should not be compared to MoO series, yet one quote you've chosen for the ad does exactly that.

InsideGC2 is back? Nice! What is it?

Sorry, I created a seperate thread on this elsewhere before seeing your item on new reviews. But I just received the new (May) Computer Games Mag with its GalCi2 review. "King of the Cosmos" is the title. 4.5 stars out of 5, and an Editor's Choice designation. Congrats, Brad and Stardock One quote: "Galactic Civilizations II is like

"King of the Cosmos" is the title. 4.5 stars out of 5, and an Editor's Choice designation. Congrats, Brad and Stardock One quote: "Galactic Civilizations II is like a skilled karaoke singer. The tune is not original, but Stardock has a way of making it its own." The review takes up two full pages of the mag -- one page of (so-so) screens, and a full page review.<br/

HOMM5 was the only other game I planned on buying this year. I will not buy it SOLELY because it uses Starforce. It is not worth it to put my computer at risk just to play a game. This is precisely what I was about to write. I have Civ IV, GalCiv II and I planned on adding HoMM to my gaming diet. N

I have listened to Brad/Frogboy's interviews on Apolyton.net. If you haven't, you should, they're pretty interesting. In one he talks at length about how Strategy First stiffed him for royalties for GalCiv I, something I know many of you are already aware of. I feel guilty, having bought that one retail. If only I'd known.... Now I am ready to pre-order GalCiv II: >>All users who pre-order it will get extra content: Additional ship components, the Galactic Civilizations Desktop and mor
