I would just like to say that I took advantage of this give away, and I would like to thank GAOTD for hosting this deal. It is a unique game, and very enjoyable. In fact, off to play now!

188: You can actually but full commercial games for the equivalent of $3 (in my case I’ve bought many a game for less than £5, and a number of them cost less than £2 each!).

As for this game, since I’m relying on WiFi to access the internet I wouldn’t know about how the actual game operates, I do know however that once you buy a game (yes, for many people here this was free, but it is still a commercial game) you should have the complete package, any patches, updates or add-ons in the future should require nothing more than a free online registration. That’s one of the main reasons online trading card games have faded away, the people using them got fed up having to pay for extra stuff (by “having” to pay I mean that by not having those extra things, you don’t feel like you have the complete package). And most trading card games were FREE, you only had to pay for the cards/packs.

Thank you szatuchny for great support for this game.
I honestly won’t be using the game because I don’t do mmorpg’s but with this kind of support and offerings I’d definitely have this game.
Hell, from what I’ve seen so far about it I’d PAY for this game.

A great offering.

P.S. Use XP for gaming, Vista is crippleware, even after you pay for it =)

187: Don’t be rediculous. You can play without buying anything! And buying the full non trial game is only $20! There’s nothing else to buy. You can buy boosters if you like, but not nessasary. No other features or anything else to buy. I’ve played since retail came out with 10 boosters (I’ve been trading for what I want), which is the number you get in this special offer. Also, sometimes they give out additional free boosters. Just a week ago they gave everyone a free booster for instance.
If you want to buy a booster (instead of spending time trading up with your free ones), then its only $3, hardly the cost of a full commercial game as you claim.
And boosters are only troops/spells. You get ALL other features with the purchased game.

Its an ONLINE game yes, but not one that requires a monthly subscription like most of them. Aside from the one time $20, there’s nothing else you need if you want to play the full thing.

Waste of time! Have to admit I'm apalled that the developer blatantly failed to mention in the description that it's an online game! Very unprofessional and complacent. And the need to continuously buy features & components (many of them costing the equivalent of an entire commercial) is diabolical!

This is not a free game but instead a teaser intended to get you started to later buy the full version. Many of the most important options in the game are locked out from this deal. GAOTD does advertise yes but not this way, at least not to my knowledge and should stay away from situations like this. This game and dea would be like getting a lifetime trial on a dvd burning program where all the important features are disabled until you purchase the full package. Is this what GAOTD is all about? I did not think so before this “trial” package.

I did every single thing recommended and still had problems. I spent most of yesterday going through everything trying to get it to work. I just could not stay connected to the server. I will try again today but if I continue to have these problems, I will have to remove it from my computer. I just can’t spare the space for something so big that does not work. Too bad as it looks like it has potential.

could GAOTD have another day for this? I have just downloaded it but i couldn’t create an account because the time was up. Download was too slow to finish in a day.

Apart from some connection issues on my end, I’ve had no problems so far. It did take a second account to get the 10 packs, since the first one got screwed up along the way (and I did start from the link provided here), but I think things are going much smoother with the newer account anyway.

I’m at a bit of a disadvantage in that I don’t play many RTS games, although this isn’t as detailed as some of those I’ve played and doesn’t need constant babysitting. Where I’m at, the battles are a bit tougher to get through with the army I’m able to put out (especially if the CP for the battle is lower than my max field CP), but I’ve only been wiped out rapidly once. So far. I need to take a second look at some of my units and see what I can get for them.

I don’t know, maybe I should have taken advantage of having 10 packs to pull from instead of three before deciding what faction to take. I had opened only a couple packs before deciding, while later packs had some cards that sound particularly useful. I’m keeping some of them around for later trading or perhaps another nation, complemented by adding more boosters if and when I have a little extra cash I can spend on Saga.

All that said, I’m glad I decided to give this game a shot. Gives me something else to do, even if it does mean there have been a couple things I’ve put off doing to play.
