Will there be a grand campaign that is playable from 1805 to 1815 or some similar set of dates?

No. This game focuses on the individual campaigns Napoleon fought in that time period.

Peninsular War (1808-1814) scenario will last nearly 300 turns; ok, it's not a Grand Campaign scenario, geographicaly speaking but certainly one concerning it's duration...

What is the size of the game download, will it be broken into smaller segments for those of us capped by our satellite web download maxes of 100 meg per hour?

Have you found a burn to disk option for the USA folks?

I've bought every one of your games, but Pocus has had to personally split the files and it takes me several days to download. Hoping for an easier option for one of these game releases. Waiting for the boxed version is just too unbearable a wait.

I believe I will have to propose you an ad-hoc solution again, Rasnell.

Is the game file size about the same as your previous games? It might be easier for me to find an American friend who can burn to CD, mail to me, and let me pay them for shipping and the effort.

The game setup is generic, right? You just enter your paid registration number to activate this way, right?

Sorry to say that this will be the first version that I cannot buy. Even splitting the files will take more than 16 hours of download time for my highly restricted "Fair Access Policy" satellite internet.

Hoping there will be a CD burn option some day. Think there will be a retail box at any time?

A real shame, but the sacrifice of living out in the country.

In France yes, in the shops... from our website, it will depend on how many units I can receive from the factory and when they deliver me... :bonk:

That is good to know, thank you. I hope you didn't mind my (humorous) reply to Dale, a personal friend. Pardon my perhaps inaccurate translation of English into French - I got it courtesy of http://www.freetranslation.com (although I know a very slight amount of French myself).

I have been so impressed with the Ageod games you have been developing. It might also be worth considering a "peace-focused" game such as this one:
http://www.peacemakergame.com/ I do not suggest that in jest - I believe that humankind has an even deeper capacity for mutual appreciation, although the many wars we've waged sometimes suggest otherwise. Let's reinforce the capacity of the "angel" side of our human experience.

Thank you again for your information in response to Dale's question.
