Hi to all modders

how do you design your tech trees ?

any hints how to make a good start ?

I have created a new PBW game called "Grudge", which is now open for signups. The game's forum is public, so please post any questions you may have on the PBW site rather than here.

Grudge!

The victory condition for this game is non-standard, so read carefully! Every player will be given a secret enemy. If your secret enemy is still "alive" when the game ends, you lose. You also lose if your empire is not "alive" when the game ends (defined below). The game will end when all surviving players agree to end it. Therefore it is possible for multiple players to win. More details and definitions are below.

I bought the game a week ago on download. It started to gitch so I reloaded it. Now it will not accept the key. I get

"We're Sorry. If you are seeing this screen the automatic product activation system failed and the game will have to be activated manually"

Then I get "The key does not appear to be valid"

Yes, I unloaded and loaded several times even going through the registery to make sure everything was erased.

Yes it did accept the key the first time.

Yes I emailed tech support yesterday.

I am not angry at the problem. I am not angry at not getting a answer today. I am not angry at the extra antipiracy programing. What I am angry at is that you did not tell me you added a extra layer of antipiracy software to the download version till after I bought it. You had every right to add it but were wrong to not tell me. You obviously felt, correctly, that I would not download it. Things alway go wrong in extra levels that need checking back in and wise people avoid headaches by avoiding them. Mainly I am angry at myself for not listening to that little voice that said CD's always work I'll bet I'll have a problem with the download version. I would have listened to that voice if I had been told about the extra layer of programing.

For you SE fans out there. The low resolution version. Will be part of the all new UI design for SE V.
